Family Farm and Ranch Insurance Coverage
Whether you’re a farmer who grows corn or a rancher who raises cattle, the land is your livelihood. And to keep a successful business running, you need the right protection for your property and its structures. That’s why we’ll help safeguard your farm or ranch with customizable coverage that lets you build a single, hardworking policy.
Dwelling coverage
Offers protection for your home and possessions against fire, lightning, windstorms, hail and most accidental losses, including vandalism and theft.
Farm personal property coverage
Provides protection for your livestock, feed, machinery and equipment.
Fair rental value coverage
This coverage helps pay for the fair rental value of your farm home if it becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss. You’ll have coverage to pay for rent elsewhere while your home is being repaired.
Also, if you’re renting out a space to tenants on your farm, and that space incurs a covered loss that renders the space uninhabitable, you’ll have coverage that can help pay the fair rental value of that rental. And that can make a big difference to your bottom line.
Farm outbuilding coverage
Helps protect your barns, machine sheds, detached garages or other outbuildings.
Farm liability coverage
Delivers protection for the unexpected — including bodily injury, medical expenses or farm property damage.
