California Farm Insurance

With California being one of the most abundant farming states in the nation it is hard to believe that there are only a few options to choose from when you are looking for a California farm insurance policy. Traditionally there have only been a few choice companies that the majority of farm owners have been insured with. Well times have changed and now there are more options than ever before.

If you are tired of working with the same old farm insurance companies and are ready for a second opinion on your California farm insurance policy then you have come to the right place. We are an independent insurance agency and work with several carriers to ensure that we are able to provide you with all of the coverage that you need with one of the nation's top rated carriers, all at a competitive rate.

It is crucial that you work with an agency that fully understands all of your farming operations and that is able to provide you with coverage for all of your exposures. Whether you own a simple farm, lease a farm property, or are just a harvesting contractor then we are here to help. At Bains & Woodward Insurance we are not limited like other agents that have exclusive arrangements to work with a single company for the farm owners or that are completely captive. These types of agencies can only quote your policy with a single company. When they present you a rate it is take it or leave it with no exceptions.

What Types of California Farm Risks Are We Able To Help?

Farm Owners With Multiple Locations - If you own a farm and have additional locations that you lease land out for your business we are able to provide you primary liability coverage for your primary location and extensions of liability to your additional locations as well. The best part about many of our carriers is that the rating base is based upon the total acreage for most of the policies that we have access to. The additional location extensions are often a flat rate liability premium surcharge. This means savings for you as opposed to other carriers that traditionally rate per acre of additional location.

Also for these types of risks we can schedule all of you building coverage for your primary location including the primary home, additional storage buildings, barns, and trailers. In addition, we can schedule coverage for additional structures on other owned location that you farm on. The best part is that all of this will come on a single policy with a single premium for your building coverage, liability, extensions of liability, specialized endorsements, and scheduled equipment.

Farmers That Lease Land From Others - In many cases we find that our clients have farm property that they lease to farming contractors for full use. Many of the traditional insurance companies will sway away from these types of risks because they do not fit the mold of their exact appetite. This is not the case with the carriers that we have access to. Since we are an independent agency, our market access give us the ability to not tell you that "we can't help". What you will hear from our representatives is no problem. We can help you with your California farm insurance policy for the land that you own that you lease out to others. We can even schedule the policy as a lessor's risk to include lessor's risk liability and building coverage when needed.

Contract Harvesters - Most contract harvesters in California are getting used to hearing "We can't help you" or "we need to have your primary farm policy covered". Well this doesn’t help you and this is not what you will hear from us. We understand that the majority of contract harvesters DO NOT have a primary farm. We understand that you are running a business and you are in the business of earning a living by harvesting for a fee. We can help you with you California general liability and get you scheduled farm equipment covered, no problem.

Scheduled Equipment - As a farmer in California your equipment is some of the most expensive equipment used in most businesses.
