Farm Insurance Coverages
Insurance is a must for all businesses including farm businesses. One mistake farmers make is thinking that their homeowners insurance will provide adequate coverage for their property and farming operation.

Comparing Farm Insurance Coverage
Comparing the details of one farm insurance policy to another can be a huge challenge if you're not working with an independent agent.
An independent insurance agency like Henry M. Murray works with many different insurance companies, not just one. This allows us to give you several rates and compare several options side-by-side with no obligation or pressure to buy a specific policy.
How Can I Get The Best Rates?
Going with the cheapest coverage is usually not a good idea, especially when it comes to a farm business. There are many hidden risks and liability exposures when you own a farm or operate an agribusiness. As an independent insurance agency, we can help you compare car insurance options from several carriers and determine which is the best value for your needs.
Unfortunately, one of the worst things we see are family farms with inadequate coverage on buildings, machinery, equipment and livestock. One of our agents will walk you through a comprehensive interview to find out exactly what you have on your farm and what coverage you need to be protected.
Save Money on Farm Insurance
Everyone wants to save money, especially in a business operation. We'll help you cut cost without sacrificing coverage. There are usually discounts available for farmers who bundle business insurance with home and auto. Farmers may also qualify for discounts if they have certain risk management practices in place. Ask one of our agents for more details.
