Farm & Agribusiness Insurance

Rural Mutual Insurance is the number one insurer of farms in the state. As the leading insurer of Wisconsin farms, Rural Mutual Insurance recognizes that agri-business requires special protection.

As you’d expect from Wisconsin’s leading farm insurer, Rural Mutual Insurance offers creative, cost effective solutions to the increasingly complex risks faced by today’s farmer. But if you trace our growth back to our founding in 1934 by members of Wisconsin’s Farm Bureau Federation, you’ll see that it’s our adherence to rural values that determines how we do business – and that’s what really sets us apart.

No other insurance company matches our commitment to Wisconsin agriculture. Rural Mutual is a top supporter of 4-H and FFA programs, commodity association programs, and Farm Bureau Young Farmer and leadership programs.

Our Crop Hail policy also features convenient automatic renewal to provide you with protection, year after year.

  • Hail - Covers the growing crops specified at the location described in the policy for the direct loss of crop yield due to hail.

While Rural Mutual Insurance’s Farm Pak policy provides limited pollution coverage, a separate Pollution Liability Claims-Made Coverage is also available to farmers who carry their property and liability coverage with Rural Mutual Insurance. Our pollution liability insurance is unique in that it provides coverage against bodily injury and property damage caused by either a sudden or gradual pollution incident that result in environmental damage.


Pollution Liability Coverage Features

Multi Peril Crop Insurance

Insurance protection for your crops from unavoidable loss of production due to a wide range of natural causes. The types of Multi-Peril Crop Insurance available in Wisconsin are CAT (Catastrophic), Buy Up, CRC (Crop Revenue Coverage) and GRP (Group Risk Plan). Unit coverage is available on insured crops. Multi-Peril Crop Insurance is offered through Rural Community Insurance Services.


Worker’s Compensation for Farmers

You may think that Worker’s Compensation insurance doesn’t apply to you. But, most insurance policies exclude the “treatment services, and supplies for any injuries and illnesses covered by Worker’s Compensation.” The law mandates this coverage only for farmers who employ six or more persons on any 20 consecutive or non-consecutive days during a calendar year. However, it is highly recommended for farmers of all sizes who rely on family members, along with hired labor, to keep the farm running smoothly.


Benefits to Employees

This system, created by the Wisconsin Worker’s Compensation Act, provides distinct benefits for employees who have sustained injuries or illnesses related to employment, including:

  • Coverage for all reasonable and necessary medical costs
  • Payments for temporary loss of wages
  • Payments for permanent loss of earning capacity

Benefits to Employers

Worker’s Compensation restricts injured employees or their family members from suing the employer due to injuries sustained at work. In addition, Rural Mutual Insurance’s policy incorporates Employers Liability Insurance. This added benefit covers employer liability if an employee sustains an injury in a work-related accident that is not covered under the Worker’s Compensation Act.


Dividend Plans

Depending upon certain conditions, your business may be eligible for flat or variable dividend plans. Eligibility requirements include review of:

  • Premium threshold
  • Three-year loss ratio
  • Exposure severity
  • Experience modification factor
  • Active safety program participation
  • Verification of premium and loss report from prior carrier, if required

Worker’s Compensation Claim Service

Rural Mutual Insurance has highly experienced claim adjusters who investigate claims for coverage, compensability, and effectively manage the disability and medical treatment of Worker’s Compensation claims. At the same time, you and your employees will be kept informed throughout the life of a claim.
