Farm property insurance also covers personal farm property. This includes farm machinery and equipment, livestock and farm products (like grain, silage, animal feed, pesticides and fertilizer).

Look for coverage that protects against losses or damage to your buildings and structures, including barns, confinement facilities, dairy parlors, silos, portable buildings, pens, chutes, corral fencing, building materials for farm buildings, and fixed irrigation equipment.

Don't forget to consider the value of any fixtures or mechanical equipment in your buildings, such as milking parlors, built-in augers or dryers. AgriChoice provides coverage for losses to this type of equipment as a result of mechanical breakdown.

Be sure to check your farm policy for barn insurance coverage on newly constructed barns or other structures. If you add a building, our AgriChoice policy extends coverage of up to $100,000 for 60 days or until your next renewal date.
