Crop insurance is purchased by a farmer to protect against natural disasters and a decline in the economy. The industry has various positions that support each business. A crop insurance underwriter completes data entry, prepares production reports and claims, and has duties related to crop insurance documentation. Crop insurance adjusters handle responsibilities when damage or loss has occurred, and inspections are necessary to assess the cause of loss and the depth of damage. Crop insurance specialists and crop insurance agents are also positions that focus on selling a policy, providing information, and assisting clients with insurance questions.
