Dawson Farms v. Risk Management Agency

MELLOY, Circuit Judge.

Dawson Farms (Dawson) challenges the Risk Management Agency’s (“the RMA”) denial of its crop-insurance claim alleging loss due to rot in stored potatoes. The RMA is a federal agency that serves as the reinsurer of Dawson’s insurance policy. A final agency review affirmed the RMA’s denial of Dawson’s claim, finding that the insurance adjuster’s sampling of the stored potatoes followed adequate sample procedures. Dawson appealed the final agency decision to the district court,1 which affirmed. We affirm the judgment of the district court.
