Farm Insurance Companies
I currently have an insurance company that I'm not overly happy with. Customer service has gone down and rates have gone up, so thought I'd see what else is out there. My preference would be to have a single insurance company that will have coverage for renters, farm, and vehicle. It's what I have now.
What companies are you using, and who are you happy with?
Thanks for the help.

I have state farm and no problems, but have not had a major claim. I have home, farm, rental properties, boat and vehicles.
Too bad you're not in NY, I could help you out, since I am a licensed Farm Insurance Agent here.
I will say that I've never seen a company with as good of coverage and product as Nationwide has available. The key is just finding a good agent to work with.
7000 taps on vacuum, just trying to get a little better every year.
As previously stated, a good knowledgeable agent is the key. We went through a few companies before we switched to Nationwide Agribusiness. They are in the "know" on every facet of insurance. They take care of all our insurance needs from the land we own and lease, all our buildings, vehicles, and businesses. Our agent makes field calls at least once a year or whenever we need him which is also a plus.

Farm Family is a great option. They have specific sugarhouse/sugarbush coverage plans for all contingencies. Pretty sure they are available in New Hampshire.

Check out co-opinsurance, they are a VT/NH company that does personal and Agri-Business. We had them for years at the farm and they were always quick to respond to any claims including when we had a house burn. Go on there website for agents I see that there is several in your area. https://www.co-opinsurance.com

I also use Farm Family. I have liability, homeowners, car, truck, motor home, snowmobile, ATV, fire on rentals, theft on farm equipment, fire on farm buildings and contents. My agent is knowledgeable about farming having grown up on one.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Thanks for the input. Great response. I've got some options now.
We have the CO-OP and have been very happy.
