There are only 3 insurance agents in the state of Ohio that are Elite Farm Certified and Legacy Certified. You might ask, “Why do I care?” Your family doctor could operate on your heart, but you would probably prefer a heart surgeon do this. Any insurance agent can write farm insurance, but WE can be your specialist. Being "Elite Farm Certified" means that we are one of a limited number of agents in the country that are certified at the highest level of farm insurance Nationwide Agribusiness has. This means members of our staff have gone through continuous training and education. The training and education our staff members have received is on farm insurance specifics such as liability, pollution, property coverage, etc. as well as on the the farming industry and the growing needs in an ever-changing industry. Being a Legacy Certified Agency is also a huge benefit of trusting your business with us. The training required to reach this level allows us to help walk you through the estate planning process, provide suggestions for succession planning as well as get you the additional help you need to set the future of your farm up for success. We also want you to know, that we do this as a service to you. Our time spent helping to evaluate your options will be of no cost to you.
