At Stroud National Agency, Inc., we’ve been helping agents serve the insurance needs of American farmers and ranchers for over 60 years. As an experienced MGA and wholesale broker, our mission is to equip independent agents with specialized markets and resources for a changing agricultural landscape. That’s why we’re pleased to share a recent post on farm electrical safety from an innovative new market partner: ARU.
ARU Spotlight on Farm Electrical Safety & Electrical Fire Prevention
Recently, ARU published a must-read guide on farm electrical safety and preventive maintenance in agriculture. Their article, Keeping Farm & Ranch Operations Safe: The Role of Electrical Preventive Maintenance, dives deep into critical steps agents can share with their farm and ranch clients to reduce electrical hazards.
Here are some key farm electrical safety takeaways for agents and clients alike:
- Routine electrical inspections are a cornerstone of any farm safety program. They help prevent devastating fires and reduce costly downtime.
- Documenting equipment age and maintenance supports insurance claims and improves risk profiles.
- Training staff on electrical safety protocols reduces injury risks and keeps operations compliant.

ARU has published a practical checklist to help identify risks, keep maintenance records, and support compliance and insurability across farm operations.

ARU has a reputation for providing quality non-admitted coverage options. However, their guide and checklist showcase another key strength: a deep commitment to risk prevention and hands-on support. Insights, resources, and commitment like that make us proud to call ARU our partner.
