MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
SUSAN K. LEE, United States Magistrate Judge.The Court ordered the parties to brief the issue of its subject matter jurisdiction over this case [Doc. 56]. The parties filed initial briefs [Docs. 57, 58, & 59], and chose not to file responsive briefs. After considering the parties’ briefs and the applicable law, and for the reasons outlined below, the Court will ORDER this case be REMANDED to the Circuit Court for Grundy County, Tennessee.
I. BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
This action, asserting state law contract and tort claims against an insurance agen*757cy located in Tennessee and individual insurance agents residing in Tennessee, was removed to this Court from the Circuit Court for Grundy County, Tennessee on July 29, 2009. Defendants’ Notice of Removal states that removal is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, as the case arises under federal question jurisdiction by virtue of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (“FCIA”), 7 U.S.C. § 1501 et seq. [Doc. 1 at PagelD#: 2]. Plaintiffs did not file a motion to remand the case to state court.
The claims asserted in this action arise from a crop insurance policy issued to Plaintiff Dusty Wanamaker to cover nursery crops at Skymont Farms [Doc. 1-1 at PagelD#: 6]. The Complaint alleges that the policy was issued by NAU Country Insurance Company (“NAU”) in conjunction with the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (“FCIC”) and the Risk Management Agency (“RMA”) whereby the insurance company had a reinsurance agreement with the FCIC [id.]. The Defendants named in the Complaint, however, are Summitville Crop Insurance Agency, the insurance agency through which Plaintiffs conducted their crop insurance business, and the individual agents working for the agency — Suzanne North, Cindy Anderson, and Richard Mackie [id].1
Plaintiffs allege in the Complaint that Defendants were aware of the ownership of various nurseries belonging to the Wanamaker family and held themselves out as being able to provide appropriate insurance coverage for the nurseries for the 2006 crop year; however, after a hail storm damaged the crops at Skymont Farms in April 2006, Plaintiff Dusty Wanamaker submitted a claim, and the RMA took over the adjustment of the claim and eventually denied it [id. at PagelD#: 6-7]. Plaintiffs allege Defendants were negligent in failing to properly obtain an insurance policy for Skymont Farms, were negligent in obtaining the proper information from Plaintiffs to secure appropriate coverage, made misrepresentations regarding the procurement of such coverage upon which Plaintiffs relied, and breached their duties and contractual obligations to Plaintiffs [id. at PagelD# : 7-8].
II. ANALYSIS
The Court is under a continuing obligation to ensure it has subject matter jurisdiction over the cases before it and can raise the issue of jurisdiction sua sponte at any time during the pendency of a case. See Answers in Genesis of Ky., Inc. v. Creation Ministries Intern., Ltd., 556 F.3d 459, 465 (6th Cir.2009); see also 28 U.S.C. § 1447 (“[i]f at any time before final judgment it .appears that the district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the case shall be remanded.”). The Court became aware of -a line of cases indicating that FCIA did not create federal question jurisdiction over cases asserting strictly state law claims against private reinsurers of crop insurance or insurance agencies. The Court listed those cases for the parties, along with two early cases reaching the opposite conclusion, Owen v. Crop Hail Mgmt., 841 F.Supp. 297 (W.D.Mo.1994) and Brown v. Crop Hail Mgmt., Inc., 813 F.Supp. 519 (S.D.Tex.1993), at the time it required the parties to brief the issue of its subject matter jurisdiction.
In compliance with the Court’s order to address its subject matter jurisdiction, Defendant Mackie argued that Owen and Brown should be followed to find federal question jurisdiction in this case and noted that the case would not exist were it not *758for the existence of the FCIA [Doc. 57]. The remaining Defendants also argued in favor of the conclusion reached in Owen and Brown [Doc. 58]. Plaintiffs asserted that they did not seek remand because of the judicial economy of having all related cases pending before the same Court and argued against any suggestion by Defendants that the FCIA preempted their state law claims against the insurance agency and individual agents [Doc. 59].
As a preliminary matter, judicial economy does not create subject matter jurisdiction, and the parties cannot agree to federal question jurisdiction where it does not exist.2 See Holman v. Laulo-Rowe Agency, 994 F.2d 666, 668 n. 1 (9th Cir.1993) (“The parties cannot ... create federal court subject matter jurisdiction by stipulation”). Instead, it is afforded by diversity jurisdiction, which is not claimed to exist in this case, or by “federal question” jurisdiction. For federal question jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 1331 states “[t]he district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States.” Removal of cases filed in state court to federal court is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1441, which dictates that “state-court actions that originally could have been filed in federal court may be removed to federal court by the defendant.” Caterpillar, Inc. v. Williams, 482 U.S. 386, 392, 107 S.Ct. 2425, 96 L.Ed.2d 318 (1987). In conjunction with these statutes, the existence of federal question jurisdiction is governed by the “well-pleaded complaint rule,” which focuses on whether federal questions are asserted in the complaint without regard to any federal defenses. City of Warren v. City of Detroit, 495 F.3d 282, 286 (6th Cir.2007).
The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has identified four ways in which a complaint can “arise under” federal law to establish federal question jurisdiction: “it ... (1) states a federal cause of action; (2) includes state-law claims that necessarily depend on a substantial and disputed federal issue; (3) raises state-law claims that are completely preempted by federal law; or (4) artfully pleads state-law claims that amount to federal-law claims in disguise.” Ohio ex rel. Skaggs v. Brunner, 629 F.3d 527, 530 (6th Cir.2010) (citing Mikulski v. Centerior Energy Corp., 501 F.3d 555, 560 (6th Cir. 2007)). Applying these ways in which a complaint may arise under federal law here, there is no federal cause of action asserted on the face of Plaintiffs’ Complaint and the Court finds no basis to conclude that Plaintiffs have engaged in any “artful pleading” to disguise federal claims as state law claims. The Court has subject matter jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ Complaint, therefore, only if the state law claims asserted therein are completely preempted by federal law or the state law claims implicate a substantial question involving federal law.
The Court listed and allowed the parties an opportunity to review at least seven cases concluding that either the FCIA did not completely preempt the field of crop insurance to afford federal question jurisdiction over state law claims, did not give rise to a substantial question of federal law, or both. In fact, there are a dozen cases which have addressed these issues and reached similar conclusions, including cases from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits.3 Defendants’ arguments appear *759to rely solely on the issue of complete preemption of state law claims, and the Court will discuss the preemption issue at length. In the absence of complete preemption, however, a substantial question of federal law is the only other ground upon ■ which federal question jurisdiction might exist. Although Defendants made no argument that Plaintiffs’ Complaint raises a substantial question of federal law, the Court will briefly address that alternative ground as well.
A. Complete Preemption
The complete preemption doctrine is a very narrow exception to the well-pleaded complaint rule and is intended to be used sparingly for only a few “extraordinary” statutes. Palkow v. CSX Transp., Inc., 431 F.3d 543, 553 (6th Cir.2005). It is important to note that complete preemption and simple, or defensive, preemption are different principles. While a plaintiff’s individual state law claims may be preempted by federal law or regulation because the state law conflicts with federal law or regulation or the law explicitly invalidates certain types of state law claims, that does not equate to complete preemption, which is “designed to occupy the regulatory field with respect to a particular subject” and mandate that all claims asserted within that field, including state law claims, be addressed exclusively in federal court. Warner v. Ford Motor Co., 46 F.3d 531, 535 (6th Cir.1995), see Strong v. Telectronics Pacing Sys., Inc., 78 F.3d 256, 260 (6th Cir.1996). “[T]he doctrine of compíete preemption makes removal available automatically in those extraordinary cases where a state law claim is completely preempted.” NGS Am., Inc. v. Jefferson, 218 F.3d 519, 527 (6th Cir.2000) (citing Metro. Life Ins. Co. v. Taylor, 481 U.S. 58, 64-67, 107 S.Ct. 1542, 95 L.Ed.2d 55 (1987)). Furthermore, the Sixth Circuit has recognized precedent that only Congress can effect complete preemption of a state law cause of action and that federal regulations promulgated by federal agencies do not carry equal weight in the analysis. AmSouth Bank v. Dale, 386 F.3d 763, 776 (6th Cir.2004) (citing cases).
The United States Supreme Court has determined that the doctrine of “complete preemption” applies to the Labor Management Relations Act (“LMRA”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and the National Bank Act. See Brunner, 629 F.3d at 531 (citing Metro. Life Ins. Co., Avco Corp. v. Aero Lodge No. 735, Int’l Ass’n of Machinists, 390 U.S. 557, 88 S.Ct. 1235, 20 L.Ed.2d 126 (1968), and Beneficial Nat’l Bank v. Anderson, 539 U.S. 1, 123 S.Ct. 2058, 156 L.Ed.2d 1 (2003)), see also Palkow, 431 F.3d at 553 n. 6 (pointing out another area in which the Supreme Court has recognized complete preemption). The Sixth Circuit has expanded the doctrine to one other statute, the National Flood Insurance Act (“NFIA”), and has declined to further extend the doctrine. Mikulski, 501 F.3d at 564, see also Palkow, 431 F.3d at 553 n. 6 (acknowledging a number of *760circuit courts, including the Sixth Circuit, have also recognized preemption in a section of the Copyright Act). The Sixth Circuit does not follow a specific test for determination of complete preemption, instead looking to the statute at issue to ascertain Congress’s intent. “Without evidence of Congress’s intent to transfer jurisdiction to federal courts, there is no basis for invoking federal judicial power.” Musson Theatrical, Inc. v. Fed. Express Corp., 89 F.3d 1244, 1253 (6th Cir.1996).
The FCIA contains two provisions regarding lawsuits, reproduced below as they appeared during the time relevant to this case:
(d) Suit
The Corporation, subject to the provisions of section 1508(j) of this title, may sue and be sued in its corporate name---- The district courts of the United States, including the district courts of the District of Columbia and of any territory or possession, shall have exclusive original jurisdiction, without regard to the amount in controversy, of all suits brought by or against the Corporation. The Corporation may intervene in any court in any suit, action, or proceeding in which it has an interest. Any suit against the Corporation shall be brought in the District of Columbia, or in the district wherein the plaintiff resides or is engaged in business.
7 U.S.C. § 1506(d) (emphasis added).
(j) Claims for losses
(1) In general
Under rules prescribed by the Corporation, the Corporation may provide for adjustment and payment of claims for losses. The rules prescribed by the Corporation shall establish standards to ensure that all claims for losses are adjusted, to the extent practicable, in a uniform and timely manner.
(2) Denial of claims
(A) In general
Subject to subparagraph (B), if a claim for indemnity is denied by the Corporation or an approved provider, an action on the claim may be brought against the Corporation or Secretary only in the United States district court for the district in which the insured farm is located.
7 U.S.C. § 1508(j) (emphasis added). These provisions specifically provide for exclusive federal jurisdiction over lawsuits filed arising from crop insurance policies, but only provide for such jurisdiction as to suits against the “Corporation,” meaning the FCIC, or the “Secretary,” meaning the Secretary of Agriculture. See 7 U.S.C. § 1502(b)(4), (7).4 These sections make no provision for suits filed against the private insurance companies issuing reinsured policies or the local insurance agencies or agents.
The FCIA also includes the following provision with respect to the interplay of state law with crop insurance policies:
© Contracts
The Corporation may enter into and carry out contracts or agreements, and issue regulations, necessary in the conduct of its business, as determined by the Board. State and local laws or rules shall not apply to contracts, agreements, or regulations of the Corporation or the parties thereto to the extent that such contracts, agreements, or regulations provide that such laws or rules shall not apply, or to the extent that such laws or *761rules are inconsistent with such contracts, agreements, or regulations.
7 U.S.C. § 1506(Z) (emphasis added). This provision establishes simple or defensive preemption, invalidating state laws, rules, and claims that are specifically addressed as inapplicable in the contracts or regulations or those which conflict with the federal statutes or regulations governing crop insurance. As other courts have found, this provision does not completely preempt the field of crop insurance as to exclude all state law claims and mandate jurisdiction in federal courts. See Rio Grande Underwriters, Inc. v. Pitts Farms, Inc., 276 F.3d 683, 686 (5th Cir.2001), Reimers v. Farm Credit Servs. AgCountry, ACA, No. CIV. A3-00-168, 2001 WL 1820379, at *5 (D.N.D. June 22, 2001) (“[T]he FCIC regulations do preempt and limit certain state and local government action and interference ... [but] this type of preemption is merely a defense to a lawsuit; it is not a jurisdictional limitation.”), Horn v. Rural Cmty. Ins. Sens., 903 F.Supp. 1502, 1505 (M.D.Ala.1995) (noting the section provides a preemption defense), Hyzer v. Cigna Prop. Cas. Ins. Co., 884 F.Supp. 1146, 1151 (E.D.Mich.1995) (discussing § 1506(k), the predecessor to this section, and criticizing the Brown court’s reliance on this section to find complete preemption).
The courts which have addressed the issue of complete preemption under the FCIA have focused on the statutes, regulations, and legislative history to determine Congress’s intent. Beginning with the applicable cases from appellate courts, the court in Rio Grande applied the Fifth Circuit’s three-part test to analyze an area of law for complete federal preemption and noted as follows:
First, neither the FCIA nor the regulations issued by the FCIC under its authority contain any civil enforcement provisions that would create a federal cause of action against crop insurance agents. The absence of a federal remedy makes it difficult to conclude that Congress intended to displace state law.... Second, the FCIA’s express grant of federal jurisdiction is limited to suits by and against the FCIC, not other parties .... Third, the statute does not contain a clear manifestation of congressional intent to displace all state law claims by insureds against crop insurance agents.... The court finds no evidence that Congress intended to so displace state law claims against agents who sell policies reinsured by the FCIC as to convert them to federal claims and subject them to federal jurisdiction.
Id. at 686-87.
The Eleventh Circuit noted that the evolution of 7 U.S.C. § 1508(j)(2)(A) during the legislative process changed it from mandating lawsuits against either the FCIC or a reinsured private insurance company to be filed in federal court to permissibly allowing suits to be filed in federal district court only if the suit was against the FCIC. Williams Farms of Homestead, Inc. v. Rain & Hail Ins. Servs., Inc., 121 F.3d 630, 634 (11th Cir. 1997). The Williams court further noted that had Congress intended to require such suits against private insurance companies be filed in federal court, it could have included a provision much like that in the National Flood Insurance Act; as it had not, the Williams court “infer[red] that Congress intended to leave insureds with their traditional contract remedies against their insurance companies ... including] a state law breach of contract claim.”5 Id. at 635. See also Bullard v. *762Southwest Crop Ins. Agency, Inc., 984 F.Supp. 531, 536 (E.D.Texas 1997) (agreeing with Williams that the difference between the NFIA and the FCIA supports the lack of a specific grant of federal jurisdiction in cases involving private insurance companies).
A Ninth Circuit case, Holman, has been cited by several courts reaching the conclusion that there is no complete preemption. In Holman, the Ninth Circuit reviewed the legislative history of the FCIA and noted the review “uncovers no congressional intent that claims against insurance agents for the agents’ own errors or omissions are to be deemed to create federal-question jurisdiction.” Id. at 669. The Holman court found, therefore, that the FCIA did not have the preemptive force to satisfy the doctrine of complete preemption. Id. at 670.
Several district courts have also determined the FCIA does not completely preempt the field of crop insurance. For example, the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota in Bullinger v. Trebas, 245 F.Supp.2d 1060 (D.N.D.2003) ruled that “neither the legislative history of the Federal Crop Insurance Act nor its express provisions establish an intent to create a federal cause of action against private insurance companies or to grant exclusive federal jurisdiction over such suits.” Id. at 1066. In the absence of clear intent, the FCIA did not completely preempt state and common law claims against private insurance companies and did not create a federal cause of action for lawsuits filed against such companies. Id. at 1067.
In Agre v. Rain & Hail, LLC, 196 F.Supp.2d 905 (D.Minn.2002), the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota analyzed the applicable regulations and statutes to find Congress had no intent to preempt state claims arising from a crop insurance policy. Id. at 912. The Agre court held that, in the FCIA, “Congress did confer exclusive federal jurisdiction over cases in which the FCIC is a party. It also granted exclusive jurisdiction over indemnity suits against the FCIC. These specific grants of exclusive jurisdiction lead the Court to consider one of the traditional canons of statutory interpretation: est inclusio unius est exclusio alterius.” Id. (citing 7 U.S.C. § 1506(d) and § 1508(j)(2)(A)) (emphasis in original).6
*763Similarly, the court in Reimers noted the “FCIA contains no section or language expressly limiting the right to bring state causes of action against private insurers in state court. In contrast, the FCIA grants exclusive federal jurisdiction over actions against the FCIC.... It can only be concluded from such a provision that Congress knew how to create exclusive federal jurisdiction yet chose not to do so with regard to private insurers.” Reimers, 2001 WL 1820379, at *3-4.
Although the Brown decision finding complete preemption was issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (and has theoretically been cast into doubt by Rio Grande, referenced above), two other districts in Texas — the Northern and Eastern — have reached the opposite conclusion. As in Rio Grande, the court in Halfmann v. USAG Ins. Servs., 118 F.Supp.2d 714 (N.D.Texas 2000) reviewed the Fifth Circuit’s three-part test to find that there was no specific provision in the FCIA or its regulations mandating federal jurisdiction in cases involving approved insurance providers, no jurisdictional grant which would give federal courts jurisdiction over such cases, and no clear congressional intent to completely preempt the field of crop insurance, given that an earlier version of 7 U.S.C. § 1508(j) included insurance providers in the federal jurisdictional grant and the final version removed them. Id. at 718-21.
The court in Bullard rejected the analysis in Brown as erroneously equating suits against the FCIC with suits against private insurance companies and found that the FCIA contained no explicit grant of federal jurisdiction for suits against the insurance companies or agents. Bullard, 984 F.Supp. at 535-36. The Bullard court compared the specific grant of jurisdiction over any action in the ERISA statute with the FCIA’s grant of jurisdiction only over suits involving the Corporation or Secretary and also referenced the legislative history which omitted the term “or insurance provider” from the final version of the statute. Id. at 536-37. The Bullard court held that “the FCIA fails to express the clear manifestation of congressional intent necessary for a finding of complete preemption. Neither the legislative history of the FCIA nor its express provisions clearly establish Congress’ intent to create a federal cause of action against private insurance companies, or to grant federal jurisdiction over such suits.” Id. at 538.
A few other district courts have reached the same conclusion for largely the same reasons, including two other district courts within the Sixth Circuit. See Horn, 903 F.Supp. 1502 (finding “no indication that Congress intended that suits against reinsurers of the FCIC be included in the jurisdictional provision”), Hyzer, 884 F.Supp. at 1149-53 (distinguishing between complete preemption and defensive preemption and finding the former inapplicable to the FCIA), O’Neal v. CIGNA Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co., 878 F.Supp. 848, 850-52 (D.S.C.1995) (claims against the insurance agency and insurance provider for their own errors and omissions were not completely preempted by the FCIA such that they had to be filed in federal court), and Ehler v. Empire Fire & Marine Ins. Co., No. 5-93-CV-48, 1993 WL 778122, at *764*1-2 (W.D.Mieh.1993) (following Holman’s lead to find no federal question jurisdiction over case which involved only state law contractual claims against the insurance company and insurance agency).
After reviewing all the applicable case law and the relevant statutes, the Court agrees with the majority of courts that have addressed this issue and concludes that the complete preemption doctrine does not apply to the FCIA. First, focusing on the statutory provisions referenced above, the sole federal jurisdictional grants in the FCIA apply only to lawsuits filed against the FCIC or the Secretary of Agriculture. There is no similar jurisdictional grant to private insurance companies issuing reinsured policies and, without unnecessarily echoing prior cases or belaboring the point, several of the courts cited above have reviewed the legislative history on this issue to bolster the point that the lack of such a grant was not accidental because an intermediate version included insurance providers in the federal jurisdictional grant and the final version removed them. See Williams, 121 F.3d at 634, Bullinger, 245 F.Supp.2d at 1067, Halfmann, 118 F.Supp.2d at 721, Bullard, 984 F.Supp. at 537. Moreover, even if there was such a grant, it is unlikely it would apply to the instant case, which involves only a local insurance agency and agents, not the insurance company that has the relevant reinsurance contract with the FCIC and actually issued the crop insurance policy.7 In addition, the only provision in the FCIA addressing state law merely invokes simple preemption of specifically addressed or conflicting state laws or rules and does not indicate that no state law could possibly apply to a crop insurance policy. While certain state law claims might be preempted by that provision, the statute by its very nature contemplates the possible application of non-conflicting state law, but there is no indication in the statute that all such state law claims must be adjudicated in federal court.
Finally, the Court finds the reasoning in O’Neal provides another relevant basis for refusing to find complete preemption: “no express prohibition exists against a private insurer selling crop insurance ... it is possible for a private insurer to sell crop insurance [because] [t]he federal regulations apply only to crop insurance that is reinsured or insured by the FCIC. Because of this possibility of private crop insurance, federal law cannot be said to have occupied the field.” O’Neal, 878 F.Supp. at 852.
Accordingly, the Court CONCLUDES the FCIA is not an “extraordinary statute” to which the doctrine of complete preemption applies. Congress did not clearly express an intent in the FCIA to completely preempt the field of crop insurance such that the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over any case arising from a crop insurance policy, even those asserting solely state law claims. Instead, the FCIA mandates federal jurisdiction only over a case involving the FCIC or the Secretary of Agriculture, and complete preemption will not provide the basis for federal jurisdiction over this case against the insurance agency and its agents.
B. Substantial Question
The only other available avenue to maintain the case in this Court, then, is if the Complaint involves a substantial question of federal law. The parties did not ad*765dress this issue and the case law is against them. For example, the Agre court addressed whether state law claims arising from a crop insurance policy could be said to create a “substantial federal question” (such that the federal court should maintain jurisdiction) and determined “[t]he mere fact that a case touches on questions of federal law — here crop insurance — does not alone provide this Court with subject matter jurisdiction.” Agre, 196 F.Supp.2d at 913. The court further stated, “In our modern society, federal regulations impact almost every conceivable activity” and if the opposite conclusion prevailed, “it would difficult to find any complex case that could not be removed to federai court.” Id. at 913. The court in Halfinann reached the same conclusion, stating that “[rjemoval cannot be based simply on the fact that federal law may be referred to in some context in the case. If the claim does not ‘arise under’ federal law, it is not removable on federal question grounds.” Halfinann, 118 F.Supp.2d at 721.
As previously noted, there is a pending related case, Civil Case No. 4:09-cv-65, in which Plaintiffs are proceeding against the federal government entities as well, as the reinsuring insurance company that issued the applicable crop insurance policy to Plaintiffs. It appears to the Court that the posture of this case and the related case against the federal entities and insurance company would nearly eliminate the need to address any questions of federal law, let alone a substantial one, in this case. The parties have essentially explained the relationship between the cases as follows: if insurance coverage is found in the related case against the federal entities and insurance company, then there will be no need to continue pursuing this case against the agency and agents, as Plaintiffs would receive the relief sought; if, on the other hand, the Court finds no insurance coverage in the related case, then the instant case asserting state law claims against the insurance agency and agents will be Plaintiffs’ sole source of potential recovery.8
Plaintiffs’ state law claims against the insurance agency and agents do not present a substantial question of federal law because if the Court finds no coverage exists in the related case, this finding would likely provide a starting point for the analysis of the state law claims, which will focus on, among other issues, the actions taken by the individual agents, their knowledge of Plaintiffs’ nursery structure, and their knowledge of the information required for submission of a proper insurance application. In this context of such state law claims, a court would not need to conduct much inquiry into the application of federal regulations and statutes governing crop insurance, which means little, if any, federal law will impact the analysis or resolution of the case against the agents and insurance agency.
The Court CONCLUDES that Plaintiffs’ Complaint raises no substantial question of federal law and, indeed, this case merely— and barely — touches on federal law. As such, Plaintiffs’ Complaint does not satisfy the requirements for federal question subject matter jurisdiction.
III. CONCLUSION
For the reasons outlined above, the Court CONCLUDES it lacks federal question subject matter jurisdiction over this case and, in the absence of diversity juris*766diction, there is no basis upon which the Court can maintain subject matter jurisdiction over the case. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the case be REMANDED to the Circuit Court for Grundy County, Tennessee. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the case.
SO ORDERED.
. NAU, the FCIC, the RMA, and the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA”) were named as Defendants in a separate lawsuit originally filed in this Court, Civil Case No. 4:09-cv-65. This “companion” case remains pending as to all those Defendants.
. Plaintiffs do note in their brief that they have not stipulated to or admitted federal question jurisdiction [Doc. 59 at PagelD# : 336],
. A case from the United States Court of *759Appeals for the Tenth Circuit held that the FCIA did not completely preempt state law causes of action, but did not specifically address the issue of federal question jurisdiction. See Meyer v. Conlon, 162 F.3d 1264, 1269 (10th Cir.1998) (“Congress has not expressed a clear intent to preempt all state law causes of action against private reinsurers. And, while we have already held that state law that conflicts with the FCIA and FCIC regulations — or their objectives and purpose — is preempted, there is no conflict between federal law and Mr. Meyer's state common law causes of action to enforce the contract with [Defendant]."). The Meyer court also noted that Congress had not occupied the entire field of crop insurance to allow no room for state law, to be discussed in more detail infra. Id.
. These definitions are now contained in 7 U.S.C. § 1502(b)(4), (8).
. The NFIA, which allows private insurance companies to write flood insurance policies in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, includes a provision *762which provides that a lawsuit may be instituted "against such company or other insurer in the United States district court for the district in which the insured property ... shall have been situated ...” 42 U.S.C. § 4053. In contrast, the provisions of the FCIA reproduced above only concern suits filed against the Corporation or the Secretary, not other approved insurance providers. See 7 U.S.C. § 1506(d); 7 U.S.C. § 1508(j)(2)(A).
. "Inclusion of one thing indicates exclusion of the other.” Agre, 196 F.Supp.2d at 912 n. 8. The Agre court also looked to two regulations, 7 C.F.R. § 400.352(a) and § 400.176, but these sections have changed from what they stated in 2002 when Agre was decided, rendering them slightly less applicable to the current analysis. See also Reimers, 2001 WL 1820379, at *5 (discussing the same regulations). Section 400.352 prohibits various kinds of state action to promulgate rules and regulations that would affect crop insurance policies, and the specific references to cases in state court have been eliminated. Section 400.176 prohibits policyholders from seeking reimbursement from a state fund or program for their crop insurance losses and restricts allowable damages against insurance companies. Although these regulations do not provide the obvious support against complete preemption outlined in Agre, it does not follow from these specific preemptions that the entire rubric of state law claims and state court actions against the private insurance companies or insurance agents would be excluded. Indeed, the inclusion of the restrictions in § 400.176(b) in a section titled "state action preemptions” would seem to imply that such actions against an insurance com*763pany would take place in state court and the available damages would be accordingly limited. As the Reimers court noted, this type of preemption is not relevant to the complete preemption inquiry because it is defensive, or simple, preemption. 2001 WL 1820379 at *5. Furthermore, as noted above, even if these regulations contained language to suggest complete preemption, a federal regulation does not carry the weight of a statute in the complete preemption analysis.
. Indeed, given that this case is only filed against the local agency and agents and arises from their alleged actions and representations in procuring the insurance policy for Plaintiffs, any justification for or necessity of federal jurisdiction over the case is even more remote than in the cases involving insurance companies that issued policies.
. Indeed, because this case essentially depends on the outcome of Civil Case No. 4:09-cv-65, which currently has motions for summary judgment pending on a threshold insurable interest issue, it is unlikely the parties have conducted extensive discovery in this case or intend to do so before the resolution of Civil Case No. 4:09-cv-65.
