Map the operation before reviewing the policy.
A farmhouse, a machine shed, rented ground, and equipment used away from home create different questions. Explain what you own, what you rent, who works on the farm, and the activities that take place there. A useful review looks beyond a single building value.
- List each location and the work performed there.
- Describe buildings, their construction, and their current use.
- Flag equipment acquisitions, leases, and work done for others.
Separate the topics that need separate answers.
Farm property and liability are a starting point, not an assumption that every part of the operation is covered. Ask how machinery, livestock, stored commodities, vehicles, and any crop exposures are addressed. Some exposures require separate policies or specific coverage arrangements. Todd can discuss what is available; this page does not promise crop, livestock, or any specialty program.
Review changes before the next busy season.
Make a short list of what changed since your last review: a replacement combine, a different tenant, a new storage building, a different business activity, or equipment borrowed from a neighbor. Describe the actual arrangement instead of guessing which policy should handle it.
- How does coverage apply to owned, leased, and borrowed equipment?
- Are all locations and scheduled items described correctly?
- What should I do before changing an operation or adding an activity?
Start a farm coverage conversation.
Choose Farm in the request and briefly describe the type of operation and your town or county. A detailed inventory can be discussed later through a suitable channel. A website request does not change existing coverage or confirm insurance for a new piece of equipment.
Questions before you start.
Are crops and livestock automatically included?
Do not assume they are. Ask Todd to identify how each exposure is handled in the proposed coverage and whether another policy or specialist is needed.
Should I review coverage after buying equipment?
Contact Todd before relying on coverage for a purchase, lease, or borrowed machine. The applicable provisions and any reporting requirements depend on the policy.
