Farm Insurance
Farm/Ranch Insurance is very important to your business. Insurance allows the Farmer or Rancher owner to go about his daily duties knowing his Property, crops or livestock is taken care of and secure from anything from an accident or the weather. Our purpose is to understand by listening to your goals, difficulties, and challenges of your business. Which at that point we are able to customize an insurance plan for your current and future farming needs.
Custom Farm Policy
Not every insurance agency understands farm work and what it takes to run a farm especially if you are in Nebraska, Kansas or Iowa.
Most agencies simply want to sell you policies that often don’t cover your needs or don’t work when you need them. At Brockmann Insurance, we’ve been working with farmers and other agricultural businesses for many years. We offer farming insurance policies that other agencies don’t. We know how to help you protect your farm.
You should protect your farm with a custom policy that combines various coverages into one convenient package. A farm insurance policy covers your property and provides liability coverage that can be customized to the needs of your home and farm operations. While farm insurance policies differ, in general you’ll find four areas of protection:
- Home and contents, including detached garages and other personal use buildings
- Farm personal property
- Farm structures
- Liability protection
Our Farm and Personal Property insurance policies are flexible coverages that can cover everything from your personal dwelling to your farm’s machinery and equipment.
