Farm Insurance
Farm Insurance is often thought of as an unnecessary expense, but it can mean the difference between bankruptcy and solvency.

Understanding Farm Coverage
A basic farm insurance policy has three coverage options: livestock, crop, and liability.
- Livestock is special because it covers “livestock operations,” which means any animal or bird raised for profit including horses and donkeys.
- Crop insurance refers only to what most people think of as crops: corn, soybeans and wheat (though this can vary depending on where you live).
- Liability insures against lawsuits if someone were to get hurt on your land or property because of something like an accident or inadequate safety measures.
Usually, farm policies have two payout options: Actual Cash Value and Replacement Value. The Actual Cash Value policy pays out what something was worth at the time it was damaged, but not what it would cost to replace. The Replacement Value Policy pays out what it would take to replace something today.
For example, let’s say you bought an antique tractor at a yard sale for $200. How much would your insurance cover if it was destroyed? If you bought the actual cash value policy (which may be cheaper), the answer is $200 because that’s how much you paid for it. But if you bought the replacement value policy (normally more expensive), the answer could be $10,000 because that’s how much it would take to buy an equivalent tractor today.

I have been working with Tony and Joe for over 5 years now. Tony is the most prompt, professional agent that I’ve ever had. He returns calls and responds to emails within minutes. If I need a document, it’s in my inbox before I even hang up. When they left State Farm, I waited for my policy to expire and then I followed Tony and Joe. I’m glad I did because they saved me even more money. Mind you, they are on the east side of the state, and I’m on the west side. I could find any agency for insurance, but I stay with Tony because of his great service. I would definitely recommend them to everyone.

When there is a change in policy pricing or coverage from the corporate office, Joe or his staff calls to explain the change in clear, easy-to-understand terms. The staff including Joe is very warm, professional and knowledgeable. We have been very happy with our service.

Joe and Tony are awesome! They're are very friendly and caring. A couple of years ago my son was hit by a car (he doing alright now) and when I came in to discuss my policy, Joe was so compassionate and concerned about my son. I just found that so awesome and I'll never forget the sincerity and kindness he showed me during that time.

Customer for years and never any issues getting questions answered, return phone calls, competitive rates or documentation needed for banks. Saved a lot of money thanks to this office on home, auto and life insurance.

Lisa Nelson
Joe and his office have always been super fast and accommodating to myself and my family. Which is greatly appreciated because most companies are not about customer service anymore, but they are.
amy marietta
Joe is a great person to work with and is just a genuinely nice guy. Joe helped take a water damaged kitchen and turn it into a quick and easy restoration. The kitchen and dining area is now even better than before! Oh and making sure I got a check promptly for the work done was great too...Thanks again Joe!

Treated well and they work hard for you
Greg Hartle
Joe and his team are extremely service oriented. Joe reviewed my coverage and made perfect recommendations for my family and our current life situations. His prices are extremely competitive yet give me better coverage than I had previously with another company. He's always prompt in answering my questions and genuinely concerned about the welfare of my families insurance needs. I always recommend him to friends, co-workers and family.On another note I would never have guessed that State Farm did mortgages. Joe handled a new mortgage for us this summer and we got the best interest rate and closing costs I could find with excellent service and expediting of our mortgage. Really great experience! Very thankful I gave them our business.
Pat Kopf
Joe assisted my family with multiple polices (auto, home, health) that protected us and made sense. He took the time to go over each policy and explain coverage details and why we should or should not have certain items in the coverage. We were able to save $ with Joe and put that toward other family expenses. Thanks Joe.If your not talking to Joe about insurance coverage or how he could customize a plan to suite your needs...your simply making a business mistake that could cost you $ and time. Be smart and let him help you with your insurance needs.

Joe helped my husband and I with our first home mortgage and he is our insurance agent. He's been very accessible and patient with us as new homeowners. I would definitely recommend him!
