Other Vegetable (except Potato) and Melon Farming
NAICS 111219 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following: (1) growing melons and/or vegetables (except potatoes; dry peas; dry beans; field, silage, or seed corn; and sugar beets); (2) producing vegetable and/or melon seeds; and (3) growing vegetable and/or melon bedding plants.
Review the farm operation beyond the crop.
Other Vegetable (except Potato) and Melon Farming combines production risks with equipment, premises and labor concerns. Review crop loss, farm employer liability and workers' compensation, farm equipment. Ask about custom work for others, storage and added processing; those activities need their own coverage discussion.
Questions to ask
- What crops are grown and what is the approximate total acreage in production?
- Is the operation enrolled in federal MPCI, and is supplemental crop-hail coverage in place?
- How many seasonal or permanent employees are typically on payroll, and is housing provided on-farm?
- Are any agritourism activities conducted — pick-your-own, farm stands open to the public, or on-farm events?
- What pesticides and fertilizers are used, and has there been any drift or runoff incident history?
- For Other Vegetable (except Potato) and Melon Farming, what should the underwriter know about agritourism activity such as pick-your-own operations, farm stands with significant visitor traffic, or on-farm events significantly changes the premises liability profile?
- For Other Vegetable (except Potato) and Melon Farming, what should the underwriter know about large seasonal migrant workforce, particularly with housing provided on-farm, adds workers' comp and habitational liability complexity?
- For Other Vegetable (except Potato) and Melon Farming, what should the underwriter know about prior pesticide drift or environmental claims may limit standard farm market appetite?

These operations grow fresh-market or processing vegetables — tomatoes, peppers, carrots, squash, green beans, melons, and similar crops — on open acreage or in field settings. Day-to-day activity involves soil preparation, planting, irrigation management, pest and disease control, harvesting, and post-harvest handling. Operations may sell through wholesale channels, brokers, cooperatives, direct-to-processor contracts, or farmers markets, and may employ seasonal harvest crews.
