About Us

Thirty two years strong is what Vine Vest is today! 

We sell and service Multi-peril Crop Insurance and Crop Hail insurance.  The Vine Vest crop insurance agency was started by agent and current owner, Jay Nichols in 1989 after he completed more than a decade long career in the agriculture lending business.  Farming, business, and strong client relationships are at the core of this company.

Vine Vest’s home office is in Sparta, Wisconsin.  We service clients throughout all of Wisconsin and several surrounding states.  Our small but quality team, consisting of Laura Peterson, Jenna Nichols, and Jay Nichols pride ourselves on customer service and policy accuracy.  All of our policy work is processed and reviewed by us in office to make sure the privacy of our client is upheld.

Corn, soybeans and cranberries are the dominant crops we insure; however we also insure many more crops producers grow in the Midwest. These include forage, wheat, apples, and the canning crops of green peas, green snap beans, and sweet corn.

We believe that face to face interaction when handling your business is at the utmost of importance.  It is essential that we both understand your crop insurance needs and expectations regarding your farming operation.  With fluctuating markets and adverse weather, each year brings new challenges.  We have the knowledge and are prepared to help you with these challenges.

Crop insurance. It’s all we do!
