Morrison

PENDLETON — Debbie Morrison, a crop insurance agent for Wheatland Insurance Center in Pendleton, was recently recognized with an outstanding service award.

Highly regarded in the Pacific Northwest crop insurance industry, Morrison received the award during the 2017 Crop Insurance Industry Annual Convention, held Feb. 5-8 in Bonita Springs, Florida. Morrison helps growers develop risk management plans to help ensure they are able to farm the following year, said Laurie Langstraat, vice president of public relations for National Crop Insurance Services.

Anyone that farms in the Pendleton area, Langstraat said, knows that Morrison is the person to ask when it comes to crop insurance questions. In addition, she’s said to be the go-to agent for regional American Indian growers, with about 30 percent of the agency’s business consisting of Bureau of Indian Affairs policies.

Morrison started writing crop-hail insurance in the 1970s and multiple peril crop insurance in 1981. She works long hours, including reviewing policies and taking time to explain information to her clients.
