Crop Insurance Is Vital to South Dakota’s Agricultural Sector

“We purchase crop insurance for our family farm every year and have never filed a major claim. But that’s hardly the point. Like our fellow farmers, we purchase crop insurance for the same reasons we purchase home insurance or car insurance — with the hope we’ll never need it. But we’ll keep purchasing it every year because some day we might.”  — Scott VanderWal, third-generation family farmer, Volga, South Dakota

• In 2022, crop insurance protected 18.7 million acres providing $8.3 billion in liability protection.
• Farmers paid $344.2 million for this insurance coverage.
• Crop insurers paid $1.1 billion to cover crop losses in 2022.

The private Crop-Hail insurance product provided an additional $1.4 billion in liability to protect South Dakota crops in 2022.
