Crop, Farm & Ranch, Home & Business Coverage for Hale County
Lambert Insurance Agency has served Hale County since 2007 from our office in Abernathy, at the south end of the county and about 25 minutes down I-27 from Plainview. We're independent, so instead of selling one company's policy, we shop 30+ carriers for your crops, farm, home, vehicles and business.
Hale County runs on agriculture: cotton, corn, sorghum and wheat, irrigated and dryland, plus cattle and dairy. Our founder, Michael Lambert, brings more than 50 years of farming and ranching experience, so we talk crop insurance the way growers do, and we write it alongside the farm, home and auto coverage most operations need.
Plainview, Hale Center, Petersburg, Cotton Center, Edmonson, Seth Ward, Abernathy and the rest of Hale County, plus nearby Lockney, Olton, Kress and Tulia. Quotes, changes, certificates and acreage questions happen by phone, text and email, so you never have to drive to us unless you want to.

Crop Insurance Calendar
Most crop insurance problems come from a missed date, not a missed storm. These are the ones we keep our Hale County clients ahead of.
Dates are set by USDA's Risk Management Agency and can change by crop and year, so we confirm your county's dates every season. Call before a deadline and we'll walk through your options.
Common Questions
No. Most Plainview and Hale County clients handle everything by phone, text and email: quotes, policy changes, certificates and acreage questions. If you'd rather sit down in person, our office in Abernathy is about 25 minutes south of Plainview on I-27.
Yes. We write crop insurance (MPCI, crop hail and PRF) alongside farm and ranch, home, auto, umbrella and life coverage. Having one agent look at the whole operation is the easiest way to avoid gaps, like equipment or a shop building that no policy is actually covering.
For spring crops like cotton, corn and sorghum, the sales closing date in Hale County is usually March 15. That's the last day to change plans, coverage levels or units, or to add a crop. Wheat is usually September 30, and PRF is December 1 for the following year. USDA can adjust dates, so we confirm your county's dates with you every season.
MPCI (multi-peril crop insurance) is the federally backed policy that covers yield or revenue losses from drought, freeze, hail, wind, excess moisture and other natural causes, subject to a deductible. Crop hail is a separate private policy that pays for hail damage acre by acre, often with a much smaller deductible. Many South Plains growers carry both.
Yes. We write homeowners, auto, landlord and umbrella policies in Plainview, with a close look at wind and hail deductibles and roof coverage. For businesses we write general liability, property, commercial auto and workers' comp, including shops, ag service companies and contractors.
