Yesterday was National Farmers Day (October 12), but our appreciation for America’s growers, ranchers, and producers goes beyond a single day. Farmers fuel our communities with the food on our tables, the fiber in our clothing, and the stewardship that keeps our land productive for the next generation.
Why Farmers Matter
- They feed communities. Farms keep grocery shelves stocked and menus fresh.
- They drive local economies. Ag supports equipment dealers, transporters, co-ops, veterinarians, and countless small businesses.
- They care for the land. Soil health, water management, and sustainable practices don’t happen by accident—they’re the result of daily decisions and decades of know-how.
How Our Community Can Show Support
- Buy local. Visit farmers markets, choose local labels, and ask your grocer to feature regional products.
- Advocate. Support sensible ag policies, rural broadband, and infrastructure that help operations thrive.
- Lend a hand. Volunteer with ag youth programs (FFA/4-H), food banks, or gleaning groups.
Standing Beside the People Who Stand Behind Our Food
For producers, risk comes with the territory. The right coverage can keep an operation moving when the unexpected happens.
Ways we help farm and ranch clients:
- Farm & Ranch Packages: Dwelling, barns/outbuildings, scheduled equipment, livestock, and supplies.
- Crop & Hail: Options to help protect yields and revenue.
- Liability: Premises, products, farm truck/auto, and umbrella.
- Workers’ Comp: Coverage for hired hands and seasonal crews.
- Specialty Endorsements: Custom machinery, irrigation systems, milk contamination, borrowed/leased equipment, and agritourism exposures.
If you’re an ag producer, we can review your current policy, identify gaps, and align coverage with the realities of your season and scale.
Thank You, Farmers
To every grower who keeps going when it’s tough and gives back when it’s good—thank you. National Farmers Day may have been yesterday, but our appreciation is year-round.
