Agriculture Insurance

Types of Agriculture Operations

Agriculture encompasses a wide range of operations, each with unique needs and risks. Our agency offers tailored insurance solutions for different types of agricultural businesses, including:

​

• Hobby Farms: Small-scale farms operated for pleasure rather than profit. These farms may focus on various activities, such as crop cultivation or raising a small number of livestock, and require insurance coverage that caters to both property and liability risks.

• Agribusiness: Large-scale agricultural enterprises that commercialize farming production. These businesses often engage in extensive farming activities, including crop production, livestock raising, and processing, necessitating comprehensive insurance solutions to cover their wide-ranging operations.

• Farms: Various farms that produce crops or livestock for sale. This category includes everything from family-owned farms to large commercial farming operations, all of which need protection against risks such as crop failure, livestock disease, and equipment breakdowns.

• Ranches: Operations centered around raising grazing livestock such as cattle or sheep. Ranchers face unique challenges, including managing grazing land, preventing disease spread among animals, and protecting their livestock from natural disasters.

• Agritourism/Agritainment: Farms that offer entertainment or educational activities, like corn mazes, pumpkin patches, concessions, haunted houses, fishing ponds, hayrides, or festival attractions. These operations blend farming with tourism, creating additional liability and property risks that require specialized insurance coverage.

• Packers: Businesses involved in the packaging and distribution of agricultural products. Packers need protection against potential contamination, spoilage, and transportation-related losses, as well as liability coverage for the products they handle.

• Equine Operations: Businesses related to horses, including breeding, training, and boarding. Equine operations face risks such as injury to horses and riders, property damage, and liability for accidents involving horses.

• Commercial Growers: Enterprises that grow and sell plants or crops on a commercial scale. These operations require coverage for crop loss, greenhouse damage, and other risks associated with large-scale plant production.

• Wineries: Establishments that produce and sell wines. Wineries need protection against risks like vineyard damage, equipment failure, and contamination during the wine production process.

• Orchards: Farms dedicated to growing fruit trees. Orchard owners face unique challenges such as weather-related crop loss, pest infestations, and machinery breakdowns, all of which require specific insurance solutions.
