Because the crop insurance program is federally subsidized and the parameters are set by the United States Department of Agriculture, the difference between agents lie in service and expertise.

American AgCredit’s agents meet with clients face to face and customize the policy to the individual’s farming and risk tolerance preferences. The premiums are based on farming operations, grape prices, and historical production. “An average production level is established based on the past four to ten years of data,” explains Carvajal. “When a new customer comes on board, if your crop suffered from the frost in 2008, we can opt to only use data from 2009 forward for that new policy.”
