Farm Coverages

Farm-Mate® farm insurance policy

We know it goes beyond the barn. 

Although a weather-beaten barn is usually symbolic of a hard-working farm, today’s agricultural operations include a wide variety of outbuildings, livestock, and machinery. That’s why your member mutual-issued Farm-Mate policy focuses on diverse choices and flexibility and offers a wide variety of coverages that protect not only your farm’s structures and personal property, but also your home and household contents. The good news is, Farm-Mate can be attached to your Grinnell Mutual Farm-Guard® policy. It's just another way we go beyond the basics to include causes of loss, livestock perils, and a variety of additional and optional coverages that will help you to focus on the future, not the misfortune. Talk to your agent for more information.
