Keep Your Farm Afloat in Times of Trouble

The farming and agricultural industry often involves risk and uncertainty. From unexpected natural disasters to major economic changes in the marketplace, many situations can affect the productivity of your agri-business.

At Lutz Agency Inc., we know that the success of your farm directly impacts the livelihood of you and your family. With the right Crop Insurance coverage, you can protect your business and keep your farm afloat through all of the difficult times.

Lutz Agency Inc., offers two basic types of Crop Insurance for your farm or ranch:

  • Crop-yield insurance covers excess losses to your crops due to natural disasters such as drought or flood as well as other perils like insects or disease.
  • Crop-revenue insurance covers negative changes in the price of a crop that occurs during the crop’s growing season.

You’ve poured years of hard labor and honest work into your agri-business, and when times are tough, you’ll need an agency you can depend on. Talk to a specialist at Lutz Agency Inc., to learn more about how Crop Insurance can help ensure the continued service of your farm for years to come.

You’ve Made It Your Living. Keep It Protected.

There are probably a lot of reasons for why you chose to make your living on the farm – from the independence and freedom that comes with owning your own business to knowing the value of a hard day’s work. At Lutz Agency Inc., we’re in the business of seeing yours succeed. We know that your farm or ranch provides a valuable service to the community, and we’d like to return the favor by offering you the comprehensive protection you deserve.

A Farm Owners policy from Lutz Agency Inc., is an all-inclusive and customizable insurance solution to secure your land, your property, and your finances against a number of inevitable situations that can arise on your farm. The basic package includes property coverage for your dwelling, personal property, and other structures, as well as the added peace of mind that comes with comprehensive liability coverage.

Dwelling: For most people, a farm is more than a place to work – it’s also where you lay your head after a long day. Under the dwelling portion of your Farm Owners policy, Lutz Agency Inc., will help pay for damages to your home and any attached structures for all accidents and perils included in your policy.

Personal Property: Your Farm Owners policy also covers losses that may arise due to the damage or theft of personal belongings such as clothing, electronics, or home appliances. Items used in daily farm operations such as machinery, automobiles, and animals are not eligible for coverage under the personal property section of your policy, as they require additional protection.

Liability: Liability protection from Lutz Agency Inc., helps pay for legal fees, medical expenses, and other losses that you may be held liable for that result from covered injuries or damage to other people’s property. Further coverage options, including employee injury liability, are available for an additional premium.

Animals Are Assets Too

As the owner and operator of an independent farm or ranch, you’ve made a number of investments into your agri-business – equipment, machinery, and crops. Livestock is also a big investment for farmers and ranchers alike, and like any financial asset, you’ll want to ensure a high-level of security and protection – so your animals will stay covered.

At Lutz Agency Inc., we know that the health and safety of your animals directly affects the health and profitability of your farm. Livestock Insurance can protect you and your farm against the financial losses that could occur if your animals are harmed or killed as a result of a covered accident such as a fire, blizzard, or other natural disaster – even when your animals in transit.

Livestock Insurance policies will vary from person to person, farm to farm, and animal to animal. The insurance value of each animal is usually its purchase price, but other factors such as performance level or value of your animal’s offspring can increase that value. A specialist at Lutz Agency Inc., can help you determine the right amount of coverage at a price that meets your needs.

Keep Your Equipment Running Strong

As a farmer, you rely on your equipment to run like clockwork. But in the event of equipment breakdown or failure, it can be difficult and expensive to repair. Damaged or broken equipment can easily cost thousands of dollars to replace which is why Farm Equipment Insurance is just as important to your agr-ibusiness as the equipment itself.

At Lutz Agency Inc., we’re dedicated to the success of your farm or ranch, and we understand that equipment breakdown can mean lost income. That’s why we design comprehensive insurance policies to keep farms running smoothly in the event of an accident. Equipment breakdown coverage goes beyond your standard Property Insurance policy to protect against damage caused by power surges, mechanical breakdown, motor burnout, and even operator error.

Equipment and machinery included under a Farm Equipment Insurance policy includes, but is not limited to:

  • Heating and Cooling Systems
  • Production Equipment
  • Boilers, Pressure Vessels, and Water Heaters
  • Pumps
  • Electrical Distribution Systems
  • Refrigeration Equipment

It’s More Than A Farm. It’s Your Home.

Operating a farm or ranch is a unique business in many ways. One big difference from most other jobs is that many farmers don’t just work on their property – they live there too. And having the right protection depends on the situation of each individual family.

While not as comprehensive as a complete Farm Owners policy, some people may find that Farm Dwelling coverage is enough to meet their needs.

Dwelling Insurance from Lutz Agency Inc., protects the building you live in and any attached structures, including rental properties, by helping to pay for damages that result from a covered incident. Depending on your specific policy options, it can also include additional coverage for personal property or provide additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss.

Other insurance provisions such as Liability or Medical Payments coverage are not included in a Farm Dwelling policy, so if you’re looking for a more complete solution for all your Farm Insurance needs, a comprehensive Farm Owners policy may be the right choice for you.
