I am only renting a farm and do not have significant assets. Do I need a farmowners policy?
Yes, you do need a farmowner’s policy, regardless of the value of your farm assets. You should insure your farm assets against loss. However, in today’s society, the important coverage in any insurance policy is the liability protection. How would you pay for damages done by the steer that got loose through the opening in the pasture fence? Or how about the milk contamination in the bulk tank driver’s last load? Or even damage to another vehicle caused by your tractor and equipment out on the road?
