Agricultural Insurance

Few economic groups have a greater need of insurance than do the farmers. This need embraces nearly all the forms of protection offered by fire, life, and casualty insurance companies. Insurance against fire and lightning is quite as necessary to the farmer as to the city man, while such coverage against windstorm is even more generally needed in the country than in the city. Farm property is more exposed to wind, as well as to lightning, than is city property, and, in the case of severe storms, the farm building is more subject to destruction because of the relatively light frame work that characterizes the great majority of such buildings.
