ANTITRUST NOTICE
National Crop Insurance Services, Inc. intends to conduct all of its meetings within the boundaries of discussion allowed by Federal and State antitrust laws.
The insurance industry is permitted some exemption from federal law by the McCarran Ferguson Act, which exempts the “business of insurance” to the extent it is regulated by State Law. The only activities considered the “business of insurance” (and therefore exempt) are those that (1) have the effect of spreading or transferring a policyholder’s risk, (2) are an integral part of the policy relationship between the insurer and the insured, and (3) are limited to entities within the insurance industry. In addition, the activities must not involve boycott, intimidation or coercion.
Participants in meetings are not authorized to discuss and are hereby directed to refrain from any discussion of or in any manner acting on crop-hail and MPCI insurance pricing, acceptance of insureds, agents commissions, market division, deviations or intercompany competition. Participants should also avoid any discussion of the relationship or dealings of any private companies outside the insurance industry with members of the insurance industry. Any discussions that could be viewed as a tacit agreement to boycott, coerce or intimidate should also be avoided.
Any discussion at any meeting, particularly on a non-legislative issue (not for purpose of providing input to the regulatory or legislative body on a specific issue they will decide), which deals with the above subjects unless specifically covered under state law, should be avoided. If such a discussion occurs, individuals should exercise the right to object, have their objections noted in the minutes and absent themselves during that part of the meeting that is objectionable.
NCIS Professional Conduct Policy
As a professional association, National Crop Insurance Services (NCIS) is committed to providing an atmosphere that encourages learning and the free exchange of ideas. To facilitate that environment, all participants in NCIS activities must agree to comply with NCIS policies that specifically and uniformly prohibit unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and recruitment. These policies apply to all participants in NCIS business and social activities, including but not limited to event attendees, guests, staff, contractors, and participants.
All individuals must behave responsibly in NCIS activities in which they participate. Threatening physical or verbal actions and disorderly or disruptive conduct are forbidden. Harassment, including verbal or written comments relating to gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, religion, age, national origin, veteran status or other protected status, or sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, unauthorized or inappropriate photography or recording, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention, is strictly prohibited.
Violations should be reported promptly to the organizer of the activity. In NCIS's sole discretion, unacceptable behavior may result in removal or denial of access to meeting facilities or activities, and other penalties, without refund of any applicable registration fees or costs. In addition, violations may be reported to the individual's employer. Offenders may be banned from future NCIS meetings and activities.

2020 Industry Award Recipients
Darci Wagner, Circle Insurance Agency – Outstanding Service Award Darci Wagner started her career in crop insurance in 1993 and has spent countless hours since building a large crop insurance book of business in the state of Montana. The keys to her success have been providing excellent service to her producers while keeping them apprised of all policy changes and updates. One of her favorite crop insurance activities is delivering indemnity checks to her growers during their time of need. A favorite memory is when she delivered a claim check to a World War II vet that had recently been injured in a farm related accident. Darci is very committed to doing what is best for her growers and keeping them well educated in the ever-changing world of crop insurance. She is one of the first folks to sign up for the update meetings in the fall and spring and she asks excellent and pertinent questions. Darci grew up in the Flathead Valley area of Northwest Montana and graduated from Montana State University with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. She started her teaching career in Vida, MT, and taught grades five through eight. She married a local third generation farmer, Bruce Wagner, and they have raised four daughters together on their farm near Circle, MT, where they raise wheat, dry peas, barley, and other crops. Her clientele outreach is quite diversified and includes female growers, Native Americans and several young growers that are just getting themselves established in production agriculture. She was very pleased with the changes in the 2014 Farm Bill that provided additional assistance for Beginning Farmers and Ranchers and she currently has three young growers who are participating in that very helpful program. The 2018 Farm Bill also brought about another enhancement that she was excited about and that was the Veteran Farmer & Rancher benefits. Darci provided additional education through a local grower meeting in 2015 when the Whole Farm Revenue Protection policy was released by RMA. She has been instrumental in helping bring new crop insurance ideas and solutions forward through the proper channels and has a good working relationship with the AIP representatives and the dedicated members of RMA Billings Montana Regional Office. Darci has an excellent reputation with growers and is held in the highest regard among the members of the crop insurance industry. You would be hard pressed to find someone that is more dedicated to providing outstanding service & policy education to the fine farmers of Eastern Montana than Darci Wagner from Circle Insurance Agency.

NCIS Crop-Hail Statistics and Processing Totals
For the Annual Meeting, NCIS reports verified premiums and losses which are the amounts that companies have processed through their own systems. These are reported to NCIS as aggregate totals by state and are used to determine whether sufficient data has been reported to complete processing for each state. The industrywide verified totals reported in the Annual Meeting materials are not necessarily fully mature by the time NCIS prepares these reports in mid-January. Verified totals will often increase as companies continue to settle claims.
The losses that are included in the Premium and Loss Projected Totals report are the verified losses plus estimated loss data from open claims.
