Jim Carroll, a fourth-generation farmer in Brinkley, Arkansas, is no stranger to the \u201cbad times\u201d that come with farming. Some years, it feels like he\u2019s just trying to survive.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Jim invests in crop insurance. \u201cWe use crop insurance for the fact that if something bad happens, we don’t want to lose our livelihood, not being smart enough to take a little crop insurance out,\u201d he explained in a new video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crop insurance helps Jim manage his risks and protect the farm in the hopes that one day, his grandson will take over as the fifth generation. \u201cMy hope is he’ll like this because there’s something unique about being able to put a seed in the ground and watch it come up and develop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each one is important, whether it\u2019s the farmers who rely on crop insurance to keep growing after disaster or the agents and adjusters who are dedicated to preserving a strong agricultural economy.<\/p>\n

Our most recent trip to the field took us to the rich farmland of Arkansas and Mississippi. Tim Ralston in Atkins, Arkansas<\/a>, farms rice, soybeans, and corn while raising cattle. The jasmine rice he grows is so fragrant, he said \u201cyou can actually smell it when you pull into the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tim recalled a 500-year flood that threatened his farm and damaged his rice. His crop insurance policy quickly delivered aid to help cover his losses.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrop insurance kind of provides a safety net to where you know what the minimum return is going to be. And if you can live with that minimum return and then, you know, you can survive and go forward,\u201d Tim said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith [crop insurance], you know it was devastating as it was, but without it, it would have been catastrophic.\u201d<\/p>\n
