A farm brings together land, buildings, equipment and daily operations, each with different risks. Riddle Agency helps Lynchburg-area property owners discuss farm insurance options and the details that may affect coverage.
From small rural properties to established farming operations, insurance needs depend on how the land is used. Tell us about your buildings, animals, equipment and activities so available options can be reviewed against your actual needs.

Coverage Details
What Farm Insurance Covers
Depending on the insurer and policy, farm coverage can include the dwelling, barns, outbuildings, machinery, livestock and farm-related liability. Coverage for stored products, transported animals, equipment breakdown and certain weather events may require special terms or endorsements. Growing crops generally need separate crop insurance.

Why It Matters
What to Review in a Farm Policy
Farming risks go beyond the farmhouse. Buildings, machinery, livestock, stored products, employees, visitors and sales from the property can create different insurance needs. A homeowners policy may exclude farming business activities, so discuss all of these with your agent.
Review which property is listed, whether covered losses are valued at replacement cost or actual cash value, and whether any interruption-related protection is available. Ask about exclusions, coverage limits and deductibles before choosing a policy.
