Many of them have been in the family for generations and some are an owned business, or part of a larger operation. For many families, the farm is both home and business.

One of the biggest mistakes made by farm owners is not identifying all operations of the farm or even planning in advance some future operations that will be added. Without identifying your operations, the coverage that you will get will not be suitable for your needs.

What about Life Insurance for Farmers

It may seem like an unnecessary expense but think twice. For Farmers, life insurance is a way to protect key employees and the Farm itself. Life insurance may be used to pay potential estate taxes and it’s also commonly used to buy out partners in a buy & sell agreement, if there's an unexpected death of an owner. The policy may also include accident and disability insurance.

All these gaps in your Farm Insurance could cost you money, time or even your agribusiness. If you want clarification on your current Agro insurance policy or if your agribusiness has changed since you purchased your policy, it would be our pleasure to review your protections!

Why you should put all your eggs (insurance) in one basket?

What do we mean by this; it’s in your best interest to have your farm, house, vehicles, etc. insured via one broker.

2 simple reasons;

• The broker needs to understand your complete farm business across the board, it will avoid being doubled insured, have gaps in your coverage and it will avoid arguments between insurers if you have a major claim.
• It will give you a better price as well for your coverage.
