Farm and ranch MGA and wholesale broker Stroud National Agency, Inc. is now an Affiliate Member of Big I Minnesota, opening new doors in farm insurance for Minnesota agents.
Our ties to the state’s farming and ranching communities trace back to our days as a crop insurance carrier through the 1980s and 1990s. Building on that legacy, we’ve recently expanded our partnership with Travelers Agribusiness into Minnesota. We’ve also introduced a non-admitted market option in ARU. Together, these moves and our new Big I MN partnership strengthen our ability to serve agents across the state.
Renewing Commitment with Big I Minnesota
For the “Stroud Crowd”, joining Big I MN marks a renewed commitment to Minnesota. With this new partnership, we open a fresh chapter for our agency, deepening connections with agents across the state. Over the years, we’ve chosen our partners carefully, always seeking organizations that share our values and our vision for the industry.
Big I MN stands out for their work supporting independent agents — advocating for their interests, providing valuable resources, and offering opportunities for professional development. We’re proud to join an organization with such a strong record of service. They’re exactly the kind of group we can ride with for the long haul. Together, we’ll reinforce Minnesota’s independent agency channel and expand farm insurance options for agents across the state.

We’ve helped agents navigate agricultural insurance challenges in 18 states across the midwestern, southwestern, and western U.S. For Minnesota agents, this means hands-on guidance, practical solutions, and a partner for both big operations and hobby farms.
