Business Insurance

Farm & Ranch

A working agricultural operation, where the home and the business share a boundary.

What this cover does

A farm is a residence, a workplace and a production business on one title. Farm and ranch cover handles all three together — the dwelling, the outbuildings, the machinery, the livestock and the liability that comes with visitors, workers and animals.

Typically included

  • Farm dwelling and household contents
  • Barns, outbuildings, silos and grain storage
  • Farm machinery, implements and mobile equipment
  • Livestock against named perils
  • Farm liability including visitors and farm workers
  • Harvested crops in storage

Common add-ons

  • Crop insurance and revenue protection
  • Equipment breakdown on irrigation and processing plant
  • Agritourism, farm-shop and pick-your-own liability
  • Custom-farming and contract-work liability
  • Pollution cover for fuel and chemical storage

Questions

What people ask about farm & ranch

Is a hobby farm covered by my homeowners policy?

Usually only up to a point. Once there is income, livestock beyond a few animals, or equipment of any size, the homeowners form starts excluding the farming activity and a farm policy is needed.

Is agritourism covered?

Not automatically. Opening to the public for tours, weddings, mazes or a farm shop adds a liability exposure the base farm form does not contemplate, and it is endorsed separately.
