Winter in rural Kansas brings unique challenges for farm and ranch owners. From icy conditions to livestock care, having the right insurance coverage can provide peace of mind. Here’s how to protect your livelihood this season:
Protecting Farm Equipment
- Winterize Your Machinery: Drain fuel systems, lubricate moving parts, and store equipment in a covered space.
- Check Your Policy: Ensure your farm equipment is covered for damage or theft.
- Consider Specialized Coverage: For high-value equipment, ask about additional endorsements.
Livestock Coverage
- Plan for Extreme Weather: Provide adequate shelter and access to unfrozen water for your animals.
- Review Livestock Insurance: Coverage can protect against losses from severe weather, accidents, or disease outbreaks.
- Document Your Herd: Keep detailed records and photos of your livestock to streamline any potential claims.
Liability on Your Property
