Today, the division provides coverage for full-time farms, ranches, and other agricultural operations in 44 states. The farm products can cover businesses that range from fruit and vegetable farms to livestock operations and the equine farm products cover a wide range of risks ranging from monoline property and liability, care custody or control to umbrella and auto.
