Corn Farming
NAICS 111150 · United States · 2022 edition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing corn (except sweet corn) and/or producing corn seeds.
Review the farm operation beyond the crop.
Corn Farming combines production risks with equipment, premises and labor concerns. Review crop loss, farm equipment, grain storage and handling. Ask about custom work for others, storage and added processing; those activities need their own coverage discussion.
Questions to ask
- What is the total acreage farmed, and how much is owned versus cash-rented or crop-shared?
- Is any of the operation devoted to seed corn production, which may involve additional handling or conditioning activities?
- What grain storage capacity exists on the farm — bin count, age, and bushel capacity?
- Are any custom farming services provided to neighboring operations, or are custom operators hired in?
- What is the current MPCI coverage level and unit structure in place?
- For Corn Farming, what should the underwriter know about seed corn production or conditioning operations, which may involve additional processing exposure beyond field crop classification?
- For Corn Farming, what should the underwriter know about prior crop insurance fraud or misrepresentation history?
- For Corn Farming, what should the underwriter know about large-scale grain storage operations or grain dealer activity that may exceed farm market appetite and require a commercial grain elevator classification?

Corn farming operations plant, cultivate, and harvest field corn for grain, silage, ethanol feedstock, and seed production. Day-to-day activity involves heavy equipment operation across large acreage, application of fertilizers and pesticides, grain storage in on-site bins or elevators, and seasonal crop drying. Seed corn operations may involve additional handling, conditioning, and bagging activities.
