Whole Farm

Uncertainty has always been a part of the business, but now there is a way to protect against unexpected yield and revenue losses. Whole farm revenue protection does just that.

Not only can it guarantee a crop's yield, it ensures your gross revenue. For example, let's say you had a strong growing season with great weather, but it's a volatile market and prices fluctuate. Whole farm revenue protection can help you recover up to 85% of your average gross revenue.

How Does Whole Farm Revenue Protection Work?

The program uses your last five years of taxes to determine your average potential revenue from all farm crop revenue. Then you decide what percentage of that revenue you want to have guaranteed. You can cover between 50-85% of your average revenue. Whole Farm revenue insurance protection is a program subsidized by the government and is only available through approved select insurance agents. Whether market volatility or mother nature, this critical coverage finally provides the stability you need for your farm.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is farm insurance? 
  Farm insurance is a specialized form of agribusiness insurance that provides you dual coverage by protecting your home and operation. Policies differ, but like agribusiness insurance, the four main areas of coverage include:  Home and contents (detached garages, other personal use buildings)  Farm and ranch personal property (livestock, feed, machinery, equipment)  Farm and ranch structures  Business and personal liability coverage 
• Is there anything agribusiness insurance doesn't cover? 
  As with any standard insurance policy, there are specific exclusions and exceptions. One of the most notable exclusions people often don't know about is fencing. In a basic agribusiness policy, the fencing on your property is excluded. However, if you rely on your fencing to keep your daily operations organized and running smoothly, you can find special riders and policy extensions that add fence coverage.  
• What is farm liability coverage? 

  Farm liability coverage is different from general liability coverage, even though they sound very similar.

  General liability is just that, general. Farm liability can be broken down further into more specific coverages.

  Here are a few types of specific liability policies available for different agricultural industries. 

  • Farmers Market/Roadside Stand
  • Agritourism/Agritainment
  • Equine Operations
  • Farm & Agricultural Pollution
