Farm Insurance

Your farm or ranch is a valuable asset, and you deserve the best insurance protection available. Policies may differ considerably from company to company, making it difficult for you to know exactly what kind of coverage you have. That's why we provide a special Farm and Ranch Property policy which enables you to select the coverage that meets your specific needs.

As a leader in Farm, Ranch and Equine protection, we understand your special situation and needs. Together, with our carrier, we can provide a plan tailored especially for you.

Standard Features of our Farm and Ranch Insurance include coverage for

• Buildings and Structures
• Machinery
• Livestock
• Automatic Extras - up to certain limits
  • Refrigerated Products
  • Farm Operations Records
  • Buildings Under Construction
  • Debris Removal

Hobby (Small) Farm

Today's small farms and ranches are considerably different from their counterparts of only a few years ago. That's why we have developed a special Hobby Farm Program for small acreage operations within our Farm Owners Policy. 

Main qualifications for a Hobby Farm:

• 80 acres or less owned or leased
• $20,000 or less in gross farm income
• one or more insurable out-buildings, not to include a garage

The unexpected in the horse world can be costly, but we have put together affordable coverage for your peace of mind.

Farm Auto - We offer coverage for your personal vehicles and the vehicles used in your farming operations including your semis and ATVs.

Farm Fire - You may not need a full farm policy but you may still have some limited farm risk exposures. For example, you may need coverage just for outbuildings or farm machinery. Our Farm Fire protection is the solution.

Farm Liability - Adequate liability protection is very important. Our Farm Liability policy can protect you, up to the policy limits, if you are found to be legally liable for bodily injury or property damage that is covered under the policy. Medical Payments Coverage is available for medical expenses that result from injuries to visitors or guests. These expenses are covered, up to the limit of medical coverage, even if you are not legally liable. Optional Coverages Available

Coverage for most of these incidental businesses and part-time jobs can be included under a Farm Liability Policy. For example, the following incidental businesses, among others, can be included under the policy:
