Cotton Gins & Warehousing

Manry Rawls is one of the leading insurance agencies in Virginia and the Carolina's for the Cotton Ginning and Warehousing industry. Manry Rawls was founded by a farmer and sawmill operator over 135 years ago and continues to serve many of the same agri-business clients we have for generations.

The Manry Rawls Cotton Team is different from other agents, whereas we do not separate program design, placement and service. This gives our clients the benefit of a consistent partner relationship, and a clear commitment to service after coverage is placed.

Our teams, focusing on the cotton industry, use their expertise and experience in this industry to resolve complex coverage issues. Our knowledge of the industry and relationships with key insurance companies allow us to succeed where others have not.

The following are some examples of coverage issues facing the cotton industry:

1. High unprotected property values
2. Complex Auto liability exposure including specialized equipment and trucking
3. Seasonal and often non-English speaking work forces
4. Multiple operations in both yard and field
5. Field cotton module coverage
6. Significant workers' compensation exposure from operating heavy equipment and machinery
7. Limited markets for insurance coverage
8. Unique cotton claims issues including salvage and valuation
9. Specialized risk control issues

What differentiates Manry Rawls from other agents is our ability to utilize our specialized resources, expertise and support services based upon 135 years of experience serving the cotton industry. A cotton client that has vertically integrated their business to include farming, harvesting, ginning, warehousing and distribution will be right at home within the Manry Rawls agri-business department.

We deliver the solutions that give our clients a true competitive advantage. We will make your cotton operation feel at home with Manry Rawls.
