Farm & Ranch Insurance
Farm & Ranch Insurance in Texas
Whether you live on a few acres, run a working farm or ranch, or use the property for both, the right questions start with how you use it today.
What may be available depends on the property and how it is used.
From our Madisonville home office, we help rural property owners and operators across Texas understand available options.
Start with what changed
Tell us what brought you here. It might be a purchase, renewal, or change in the property, buildings, animals, equipment, vehicles, or activity.
You do not need to sort it into an insurance category first.
- Purchase or closing
- Renewal
- Buildings or rural systems
- Animals
- Equipment or vehicles
- People and activity
Tell us about the whole property
We may ask about the home and land, buildings and systems, animals, equipment, vehicles, and the people or activity connected to the property.
These are topics to discuss, not a list of covered property. What may be available depends on the details of the property and operation.
Residence and land
Your home, address, acreage, land use, and recent changes.
Buildings and systems
Barns, sheds, fences, pens, wells, septic systems, and other improvements.
Animals
Cattle, horses, and other livestock on the property, how they are kept, and what has changed.
Equipment and stored property
Tractors, implements, tools, and other property used or stored there.
Vehicles and trailers
Vehicles, trailers, and how each one is used.
People and activity
Employees, visitors, leases, sales, custom work, events, or paid access.
How the property is used changes the insurance questions
Two properties that look alike can call for different insurance questions. Livestock, sales, custom work, employees, leases, paid access, and regular visitors may change what we need to understand.
Those details guide the questions we ask.
If you also run a separate business from the property, visit Business Insurance.
Rural risks overlap. Coverage should too.
Land, property, equipment, vehicles, and operations, from a team that understands how they connect.
The details you already have are enough to start
Bring whatever you have. Start with these practical details.
- Current policies and property addresses
- How the property and buildings are used
- Animals, equipment, vehicles, and trailers
- People, sales, leases, visitors, and other activity
- Timing and any contract or lender request
You do not need complete paperwork before you call or start a request.
Planning for renewal? Use our Farm & Ranch renewal questions to organize your notes.
A sheet to keep for your review
Equipment follows the work
Owned, financed, leased, rented and borrowed machinery can raise different questions. Use this sheet to describe the items, where they go and how they are used. These details do not establish coverage or eligibility.
The machinery and its use
- List machines, attachments and implements separately where useful.
- Note the ownership or rental arrangement and identifiers to gather privately.
- Ask how the policy values an item and which value belongs in a quote.
- Describe storage, travel between properties and transport on a trailer.
Work you do for others
- What work do you perform for payment, how often and where?
- Whose equipment is used, and who operates it?
- What agreements or insurance requests apply?
- What will change before renewal or the next job?
Different items, different questions
- Machinery and implements
- Gather ownership, identifying details, proposed values and use. Ask about borrowed or rented items instead of assuming they are included.
- Road vehicles and trailers
- Describe ownership, operators, travel and what is carried. Keep the vehicle and carried-equipment questions distinct.
- Paid work on another property
- Explain the exact work, frequency, location and agreements. A familiar farm task can require a separate operation review when performed for others.
Keep your notes
Print this sheet or use your own notes. Use the blank rows to record several activities, items or jobs together. On a phone, scroll across the table to see all columns. Leave uncertain details as questions for the office.
| Item and ownership | Location and off-property use | Value or document question | Work for others |
|---|---|---|---|
