  • Top crops grown include apples, wheat, and potatoes.

Crop Insurance Is Vital to Washington’s Agricultural Sector

“As is the case with other insurance policies, we purchase crop insurance in the hope that we never have to use it. And, when disaster strikes, we use the policy to pay our bills. It isn’t close to what we would collect from a healthy crop, but it allows us to keep farming.”  — Nicole Berg of Berg Farms, Paterson, Washington

  • In 2019, crop insurance protected 3.6 million acres providing $3.6 billion in liability protection.
  • Farmers paid $76.5 million for this insurance coverage.
  • Crop insurers paid $90.7 million to cover crop losses in 2019.

The private Crop-Hail insurance product provided an additional $1.2 billion in liability to protect Washington crops in 2019.
