Why it matters
Covering your ground.
Farming carries risks you can’t control like fires, weather, pests, disease, and even markets. Federal crop insurance, backed by the USDA, protects your yields, revenue, people and businesses that depend on you. It’s the coverage that keeps the ag economy running season after season.
How it works
How crop insurance works.
Crop insurance is a public/private partnership. That means every qualifying producer receives the same pricing. But it doesn’t mean you always receive the same service.
Graybeal Group works with crop farmers across the Pacific Northwest — from the dryland wheat fields of eastern Washington and the Palouse, to the hay and potato operations of eastern Oregon and southern Idaho. We understand that every crop and every operation is different, which is why we take the time to understand your farm before recommending any coverage.
Crops we work with
Crop coverage for your PNW Operation.
Our team works with a wide range of crops common to Pacific Northwest farming operations, including:
- Dryland and irrigated wheat
- Hay and forage crops
- Corn and feed grain
- Potatoes and onions
- Apples, grapes, and specialty crops
Whether you're farming a few hundred acres or managing a large multi-crop operation, our brokers understand the production risks specific to your region and can help you evaluate your options during the annual sign-up period.
We walk the fields with you
Ready to review your crop coverage?
Because crop insurance policies are standardized across the country, the difference really comes down to your agent and how they serve you. We offer you truly unbiased advice, walk the fields with you, and ask the questions that uncover what’s changed and what needs attention.
Our team is available year-round to discuss your operation and help you prepare for the upcoming sign-up period. Reach out to your nearest Graybeal Group office or fill out the form below to connect with a crop insurance broker in your area.
FAQs
Common questions about crop insurance.
When is the crop insurance sign-up deadline in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho?
Sign-up deadlines vary by crop and county and are set annually by the USDA Risk Management Agency. Contact our team early — we recommend connecting with a broker well before deadlines to make sure you have time to review your options.
Do I have to use the same broker every year?
No. You can work with any approved crop insurance agent. If you're looking for a local broker who knows the PNW market, we'd be glad to review your current coverage and see if there's a better fit.
Does Graybeal Group, Inc. work with specialty crop farmers?
Yes. While wheat, hay, potato, and onion operations make up a large portion of our crop clients, we also work with apple, grape, and other specialty crop producers across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
