Farm Insurance

The agricultural industry is the cornerstone of our economy. Thanks to our farmers, America enjoys a stable, health food supply. And even today, 97 percent of America’s 2.2 million farms are still operated by families. Our farmers not only feed America, but many other countries as well. According to the Farm Bureau, the U.S. exports approximately $133,000,000 in agricultural products each year, around 23 percent of crops, but representing 31 percent of all farm income.

And they keep getting stronger: Today, a farmer produces 262 percent more food with 2 percent fewer inputs than in 1950. However, margins for farmers and ranchers have been cut in half since 1980, increasing your risk. That is where Bankers Insurance supports this industry by reducing risk. We can protect your farm property, equipment, home, and auto while protecting you from liability.

Business Insurance Full Application

Farm Insurance Coverages

Different insurance companies cover farms utilizing various policy types.  But at its core, farm insurance isn’t complicated.  We will tailor a policy to fit your specific needs.  Farm insurance can include:

Farm Property and Equipment

Farm buildings, permanent or semi-permanent structures, such as:

  • Barns
  • Sheds
  • Garages
  • Warehouses
  • Stables
  • Silos

Farm personal property:  Generally, this is contents of the above structures (not crops).  Items can be listed individually (scheduled) or lumped together (blanket).  Examples include:

  • Farm machinery, including processing equipment
  • Tools
  • Tractors
  • Combines, cotton pickers, and other harvesters
  • Implements
  • Navigation systems, GPS, and precision farming equipment
  • All other

Farm Liability

Offers protection for liability associated with your farm operations and products.  Examples include:

  • Injuring motorists or people while moving farm equipment between fields.
  • Farm product liability claims for food-borne illness.

Farm Products

Certain farm insurance policies can include coverage for farm products and inventory.  However, the cause of loss is typically limited to basic hazards such as fire, lightning, windstorm, etc.  Covered items can include:

  • Livestock
  • Fertilizer
  • Seed
  • Feed and silage
  • Crops in storage

More complete coverage for crops or livestock in the field and in storage/under roof is available under USDA / RMA crop insurance offerings.

Auto and Truck

Farm insurance can include coverage for autos or trucks licensed for on-road use.  Farm equipment (non-licensed) is property covered under Farm Property, but if a vehicle is licensed to be used on the road, proper auto coverage is needed.  Depending on coverage needs, this insurance offers similar coverages as personal auto insurance or business auto insurance, including liability, collision, comprehensive, medical, and others.  Coverage is available for:

  • Personal passenger vehicles – sedans, pickups, SUVs, etc.
  • Trucks of all sizes
  • Semi-tractors and trailers

Homeowners

Homeowners insurance is an optional coverage if you live on the farm or desire to insure your home along with the farm.  Homeowners insurance includes coverage for the home, contents of the home, outbuildings, and personal liability.  In other words, it’s just like normal homeowners insurance but gets wrapped up into your farm insurance policy.

Umbrella / Excess Liability

Umbrella liability for farm insurance serves to increase limits on the farm liability and/or homeowners coverages.  Suppose your underlying farm liability limit was $1,000,000, but you also spray pesticides for a separate production service and they require a $3,000,000 limit.  A $2,000,000 umbrella would increase your liability limits to the required $3m.

Workers Compensation

On average, farm workers are exposed to a wider variety of hazards than many other industries.  Workers can be driving a tractor one hour, repairing an implement the next, and packing product by the afternoon.  Thus, work injuries are one of the largest risk exposures to agricultural businesses.  In the event of a work-related injury, workers compensation protects your farm workers and your business.  For the farm worker, it pays for health expenses and a portion of lost wages.  For the business, it shields it from being sued for the injury under tort law.  For more detail, check out our workers compensation webpage.  Requirements by state differ, so contact us with questions.
