Safety & Insurance

For Virginia Farm Bureau customers with towing and labor coverage on their auto insurance policies, help just got a lot easier!

Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria in 2017 were stark reminders of the need for preventive action before a storm.

Virginia Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Co. has been offering farm insurance since 1951 and is currently the No. 1 farm writer in the state. In April 2017 Farm Bureau introduced the Farmowner Advantage endorsement, which bundles several popular existing products with new coverage for equipment breakdown and lock replacement.

Agritourism activities such as corn mazes, hay rides, festivals, berry picking and farm tours are popular additions to farm businesses. When hosting these activities, it’s important to remember that some are not automatically covered under a farmowner insurance policy.

Experts say distracted driving is reaching epidemic levels. In Virginia last year, 208 of the 842 fatalities on Virginia roads were due to distracted driving.

As Smokey Bear has told Americans since 1947, “Only YOU can prevent forest fires.” Turns out, he’s right because fires are often preventable.

Personal auto insurance customers may be eligible for two money-saving enhancements for their auto policy: new vehicle replacement coverage and accident forgiveness protection.

It’s Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and Farm Bureau and other organizations are asking motorists to do just one thing while they’re driving—drive.

Spring planting and the harvest of wheat and other small grains in May and June means more Virginia farmers will need to be moving tractors and other heavy equipment on public roads.
