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 developed a special Farm and Ranch Property policy which enables you to select those coverages that meet your specific needs.

• Buildings and Structures
• Machinery

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 outbuildings, not to include a garage

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

• Increased Liability Coverage Amounts
• Increased Medical Payments Coverage Amounts
• Animals in Contests or Stunting Activities
• Animal Rides for Charity/Profit
• Watercraft Liability
• Animal Collision

Incidental Liability Often, farmers and ranchers expand their operations to include sales or services. 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:

That’s why it makes sense to consider a ranch and farm personal umbrella insurance policy for additional protection

You can purchase a minimum of one million dollars of extra farm umbrella liability insurance coverage under our Farm Umbrella, with certain higher limits available. The cost for such additional security can be surprisingly affordable.
