Specialty Crops

Specialty crops have eluded precise definition but we know them when we see them. They don’t include field crops such as corn or hay and they don’t include major livestock industries such as dairy. They do however, include all vegetable and fruit crops as well as minor animal enterprises such as fish farming and honey. Specialty crops have their own challenges and a few insurance products which may fit grower's needs.
