What is the crop insurance license exam, and how do I take it?

There is no single national crop insurance licensing exam; crop insurance work falls under state adjuster licenses, so the requirements vary by state. In Michigan, Crop is a line of authority on the resident adjuster examination, though holders of a Federal Crop Insurance Corporation certificate covering multi-peril crop insurance may be licensed without the exam. In Georgia, Crop/Hail adjusters submit a CAPP card and complete no prelicensing course or examination.

Idaho does not offer a separate crop insurance exam. The Idaho Department of Insurance treats crop as a line covered under the Property and Casualty lines of authority, so a producer who holds Property and Casualty does not need a separate crop credential. Each of those two exams costs $65 and is scheduled through Pearson VUE.

The Crop & Hail exam is one of the Oklahoma adjuster exams administered by PSI. It costs $20, requires 70% correct to pass, and is scheduled through PSI by phone or online. Adjusters certified by the federal Risk Management Agency who work with the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation can obtain a crop/hail or multi-peril crop license by presenting their federal certification, with no exam.
