Crop Insurance Industry

NCIS members are crop insurance companies that sell and service policies for farmers and ranchers. It is the member companies’ active participation and financial support that allow NCIS to provide a unique suite of services to the crop insurance industry. Services include actuarial and analytical support, a national agronomic research program, development of loss adjustment standards, and industry-wide training for company staff and industry loss adjusters.

In collaboration with the crop insurance industry diversity initiative, NCIS provides internship and scholarship opportunities to 1890 Land Grant Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities and underserved students. NCIS member companies also feature internship and scholarship programs. To learn more about these companies, and their offerings, please see the resource list below.

Intern

Taylor Thomas

“I had no prior knowledge about the importance of any insurance, especially crop
insurance. Being able to work for NCIS this  summer has not only expanded my knowledge
of crop insurance but has motivated me to keep learning about crop insurance. NCIS showed me firsthand how broad agriculture can be.”
