NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV) — As the 2025 crop insurance year enters its final month, producers across the country are already turning their attention to the next growing season. With many final tasks still underway, insurance agents are monitoring what remains to be done before the year officially closes.

In his conversation with RFD-TV News, York discussed the actions agents still need to complete to wrap up 2025 and what the industry is focused on as business planning for this year’s harvest comes to an end.
