Farm & Ranch Insurance

Farm & Ranch Insurance for Evolving Agricultural Operations

Stroud National Agency, Inc. helps independent insurance agents present farm and ranch accounts with the detail specialized agricultural underwriting requires.

Farm and ranch operations rarely remain static. Acreage can be added or leased, ownership structures may change, new sources of revenue can develop, and seasonal or supplemental activities can alter the overall character of an account. Understanding how the operation functions today is an important part of developing an accurate insurance submission.

For independent agents, providing a complete picture of the risk can help streamline the underwriting process. Information about the operation’s history, land use, ownership or tenancy, prior losses, seasonal activity, business relationships, and recent changes gives underwriters better context when evaluating an agricultural account.

Helping Agents Build Stronger Farm & Ranch Submissions

A new-business submission or renewal is a good opportunity to review how a farm or ranch has changed since the previous policy period. Expansion, changes in acreage, new business activities, updated ownership arrangements, or shifts in how the property is used may all affect the information an underwriter needs to evaluate the account.

Stroud National Agency works with independent insurance agents in the wholesale marketplace to help organize agricultural risks for underwriting and identify the information needed to move a submission forward. By presenting the operation clearly from the beginning, agents can help reduce unnecessary back-and-forth and give the market a more complete understanding of the risk.
