Your Missouri Insurance Experts
Drake-Beemont Mutual Insurance has provided tailored insurance solutions to Missouri residents since 1911. As a policyholder-owned mutual company, we prioritize community needs over external shareholder interests, maintaining deep roots in Gasconade County and surrounding regions. Our Missouri Department of Insurance license enables statewide service, though we remain focused on personalized coverage for farms, homes, rentals, and small businesses. With over a century of experience, we combine generational industry knowledge with modern risk management practices.

Our team collaborates with local agents to deliver specialized policies for farm dwellings, commercial properties, livestock, and liability protection. Governed by a nine-member elected board, our governance structure ensures accountability to policyholders. While headquartered in Rosebud, our network extends across rural Missouri, serving as both insurer and trusted neighbor. This unique ownership model creates direct alignment between our success and the security of those we serve.

Jan 13, 2022 Report
I truly appreciate the help I received in opting for a Medicare Supplement policy. I had received so many mailings from various companies which confused and irritated me. The agent I talked with went through several options after we discussed what I was looking for and found me the one that fit my requirements and budget, too. All credit goes to Drake-Beemont Mutual Insurance. Thanks for helping me out.

I paid $1000 dollars a year for coverage on my home it's a Mobil home with add on rooms coverage up to $80.000.so I thought I was fully covered for the value of my home.i had a fire start under the house mostly heavy smoke damage but fire dept chopped the floor out in my closet a d chopped two entry ways down outside access to under house it was horrible since I got home from leaving my husband in hospital er and got my dogs out just before they would have died.but my last hope was that Drake Belmont would fix my house but that never happened.the man that came out to evaluate it was so rude he told me to just wash the clothes that was covered in insulation which I had to throw away and they never covered t h em.and he said even though it was smoke damage from fire he said you smoke cigarettes so I'm not covering your living room and at the end they depreciation it and my dedication they gave me 220 stinking dollars.that's the worse insurance co.if my home is worthless and that's what they said by giving me the amount they did why did they value it so high when they were charging me that high premium. #i deserve a lot mire
