Marysville, District 10, and Yuba County Agriculture Profile

Marysville is one of California’s oldest cities, the county seat of Yuba County, one of California’s original 27 counties established in 1850, and it sits at one of the most agriculturally significant intersections in the Sacramento Valley: the confluence of the Yuba and Feather Rivers. That geography defines everything about farming in this area, from the extraordinary fertility of the river plain soils to the flood exposure that has shaped land use, levee infrastructure, and farm insurance planning for more than 170 years.

Yuba County generated nearly $279 million in gross crop value in 2021, with rice and walnuts alone representing more than half of that total. The county’s top crops, including rice, walnuts, plums and prunes, peaches, and kiwifruit, reflect a blend of large-scale commodity production and specialty orchard crops that few California counties match. Yuba County has historically ranked sixth in the nation in both peach production and plum and prune production, a legacy tied directly to the rich alluvial soils surrounding Marysville.

District 10 is a named agricultural levee and irrigation district north of the Yuba River, bounded by Honcut Creek and the Marysville levees. Its 12,000-plus acres of levee-protected farmland are served by the Hallwood Irrigation Company, which has diverted water from the Yuba River since 1909, making this some of the most productive rice, walnut, and prune ground in the county. District 10 rice farms are known for some of the most affordable irrigation water in the Sacramento Valley, and the district’s winter-flooded fields provide critical habitat for migratory waterfowl along the Pacific Flyway. District 10 Dryers LLC at 9000 Mathews Lane in Marysville is a listed processing facility serving Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau member operations. Sunsweet Growers also operates a prune dryer facility serving the Marysville area, reflecting the depth of prune production in this corridor.

The Marysville Ring Levee, currently being upgraded to provide 200-year flood protection, is the defining infrastructure feature of this community. For farmers in the surrounding lowlands, levee integrity, flood insurance exposure, and water management liability are not abstract concepts. They are annual planning conversations. Oakview Insurance Services is a proud member of the Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau, and our advisors understand this landscape from the ground up.

Insurance Built for Marysville and District 10 Agriculture

Marysville-area farms face a layered set of risks that generic farm policies routinely fail to address. Flood exposure on levee-dependent ground near the Yuba and Feather Rivers is a primary consideration, both for rice paddies and for orchard operations whose buildings, equipment, and infrastructure sit in historically flood-prone corridors. Equipment values that have risen significantly with the broader market, leased acreage across multiple parcels, seasonal harvest labor, and the processing and drying facilities that serve this region’s prune and rice output all require coverage coordination that most generalist agencies are not equipped to provide.

Common conversations with Marysville-area and District 10 growers include rice dryer and storage facility coverage, prune dehydrator and processing liability, walnut and almond huller programs, flood endorsements and water management liability, equipment valuation and replacement cost alignment, workers compensation for seasonal and year-round agricultural labor, and coverage for operations delivering into cooperatives like Sunsweet. For operations in Hallwood, we also regularly discuss the specific flood risk profile associated with the North Training Wall and the community’s flood history in 2017 and 2018.

We build programs that match the full operational picture.

Do you cover flood exposure for District 10 and Hallwood-area farms?

Yes. Flood exposure is one of the most important coverage conversations for Marysville-area operations. Levee-adjacent ground north of the Yuba River, the Hallwood community’s flood history in 2017 and 2018, and the ongoing Marysville Ring Levee upgrade all reflect how real this risk is for farms in this corridor. We help evaluate flood endorsements, water management liability, and infrastructure coverage as part of every operational risk review for this area.

Can you insure kiwifruit operations in Yuba County?

Yes. Kiwifruit is one of Yuba County’s distinctive specialty crops, and we work with kiwi growers throughout the county. Coverage considerations include orchard property and vine values, harvest equipment, seasonal labor, and direct-to-consumer or cooperative sales liability.
