Our Story

Est. January 2020

Delta Risk Management is a new name, but we’re not new to this industry. 

After 25 years of experience in Ag Lending and Crop Insurance, Jack Dalton had a clear vision for providing lock-tight coverage with an exceptional level of service. He knew he needed partners who had the dedication and expertise to really learn each grower’s operation, and a commitment to a personalized and relatable customer experience.

Having worked together in the Ag industry, he knew he finally had the right team to realize that vision. Every member of our team has a background in farming or agriculture, in addition to their unique skills and experience as agents. As such, we collectively have the knowledge, experience and expertise to create customized insurance plans that are not only right for today, but in your best interest over the long-term.

We want to protect your assets, make the process easy, and help you sleep at night. It’s that simple.

With over 55 years combined experience, and clients spanning 5 states and counting, we are ready and able to create the risk-management plan that is right for you.
