Agribusiness
Farm Bureau Insurance offers an Agribusiness Program for large farming operations that pay $15,000 or more in total premium. The Agribusiness Program provides access to specialized account billing, annual account reviews and a Loss Ratio Discount for accounts with a good claims history. If you run a large farming operation and want the personalized attention and service you deserve, ask your local agent for more information on the Agribusiness Program and how it may benefit you.
SMART
We also understand that not all farming operations are large enough to qualify for the Agribusiness Program, so the SMART Program is geared toward the smaller South Carolina farmer. The SMART Program is for operations of $10,000 or more in total premium and offers a discount on the Farm General Liability policy. It’s easy to get started and enroll, so ask your local Farm Bureau Insurance agent about the SMART program.

Dedicated to protecting you, your farm, your family and your workers, Farm Bureau Insurance will help you assess your coverage needs and identify ways to save money through loss control and prevention. As an added service, Farm Bureau Insurance can provide loss control and prevention inspections at no additional cost. To learn more or to request an inspection with one of our field underwriters, contact your local Farm Bureau Insurance agent.
