Rasor Insurance is here to help farms and ranches of any size. Let&#8217;s take a look at what farming activities need specialized insurance.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Equipment<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Machinery and equipment used on farms and ranches is an expensive but often necessary investment. This includes tractors and other field equipment necessary for crop management.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Animals<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">If you manage livestock on your farm, an insurance policy will offer coverage in the event they are injured or killed due to a basic peril. Some agencies offer extensions to cover more unique perils, such as being killed by a train or attacks by wild animals.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Many companies offer separate coverage for horses and other equine animals. This coverage can be used for horses that work on the farm, are used for breeding or shows, or are simply kept for pleasure. Examples of equine insurance coverage include death due to sickness or disease and major medical expenses.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Buildings<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Outbuildings such as barns or sheds for equipment may not be covered by your homeowner&#8217;s insurance policy. Depending on how far away the building is from your home and what it is used for, you may need a farm policy instead.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Crops<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Most agencies require a separate policy to insure crops that are on the field. However, crops that are in storage can be covered by a basic farm insurance policy. This includes stored grain and seeds.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Farm and ranch insurance is a highly customizable option to protect your hobby farm, even if you do not plan to make money off of it.
