Services
Crop Insurance
Our crop insurance policies protect against yield losses and revenue declines caused by natural disasters, market fluctuations, and weather-related events. We specialize in USDA-approved Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) programs tailored to Kentucky, Southern Indiana, and Northern Tennessee farms. Our agents help farmers navigate federal subsidies and select coverage levels that align with their specific agricultural operations.
Livestock Risk Protection
This program safeguards against market price declines for fed cattle, feeder cattle, and swine. We assist producers in selecting coverage periods and pricing options that match their marketing timelines. Our policies include premium subsidies and flexible payment options at the end of endorsement periods to accommodate livestock operations' cash flow needs.
Whole Farm Revenue Protection
Designed for diversified farms with up to $17 million in insured revenue, this policy covers all commodities under one plan. We help specialty crop growers and mixed livestock operations secure protection against revenue losses from natural causes. Our coverage includes greenhouse, nursery, and animal product revenue up to specified limits.
Dairy Revenue Protection
This risk management tool insures against revenue declines from milk sales using futures market pricing. We guide dairy producers in selecting class or component pricing options that reflect their production profiles. Our policies allow coverage of 70-95% of expected quarterly revenue with premium subsidies based on selected coverage levels.
Hemp Insurance
We offer pilot program coverage for hemp crops grown for fiber, grain, or CBD oil in select counties. Our policies protect against yield losses from insurable causes through Multi-Peril Crop Insurance. We assist growers in establishing production guarantees based on historical yields and county transitional data for accurate risk assessment.
