Frequently Asked Questions About Farm Insurance
Have questions about farm insurance? Here are some common inquiries that can help you understand how we can assist in protecting your agricultural interests. For more personalized advice, don’t hesitate to contact our brokers.
Why Do I Need Farm Insurance?
Farm insurance is specifically designed to protect against the unique risks associated with owning and operating a farm. A standard home insurance policy typically won’t cover the financial and liability exposures that come with farming, such as damage to crops, livestock, or farm equipment.
Can I run other types of businesses from my farm, like short-term rentals or a bed & breakfast?
Yes, we can often include short-term rental or bed & breakfast coverage as part of your farm insurance policy. However, each insurer has a different approach, so it's essential to discuss your plans with a broker to ensure you have the right coverage. In some cases, an additional policy may be necessary.
What does farm insurance cover?
Farm insurance can be fully customized to cover everything from buildings, machinery, livestock, and produce to business interruptions. Whether you have a large commercial operation or a small hobby farm, we’ll design a policy that fits your needs.
I live on ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve) land and do minimal farming. Do I still need a farm policy?
It depends on the type of property and your farming activities. For minimal farming, we may be able to cover your property under a homeowner’s policy with a hobby farm extension. If your operations are more extensive, a full farm policy may be required. Our brokers can help determine the best coverage for your situation.
