Colorado Farm and Ranch Insurance

Farm and ranch insurance is designed to protect those who own and operate farms, ranches, or other agricultural properties from financial losses. It provides coverage similar to standard homeowners insurance, covering the homes and possessions of those who live on an agricultural property. Additionally, the coverage offers commercial protection, extending to other buildings and structures on the property, equipment, machinery, livestock, and even loss of crops in the case of natural disaster, theft, and other similar hazards.

Some policies cover for liability in the case that accidents occur on the property, and some may also include business interruption coverage for loss of income to the farm, ranch, vineyard, or orchard if it cannot operate as a result of a covered risk.

Coverage varies according to the policy, and it is important to have a policy that best protects you from the perils that your operation faces based on its size, location, and the type of farming or ranching that is done.

Farm and ranch insurance is not legally mandated in Colorado, though farms and ranches participating in certain government programs may be required to have specific types of insurance in order to comply with the program’s requirements. This form of coverage is highly recommended for all individuals who own or live on agricultural property to protect them, their assets, and their operations in the case of unforeseen events.

Farm and insurance policies can be tailored to meet your needs and the specific needs of the operation in order to protect against the financial burden of losses arising from the perils included in the policy. Perils may include natural perils, such as hail or wildfire, or even sickness or disease of livestock.
