Farm Property vs. Crop Coverage: What Missouri Farmers Should Check Before Planting Season

At TEC Insurance, we understand the risks our state’s agricultural community faces. Knowing the difference between farm property insurance and crop coverage, and making sure your policies are up to date, can help you manage risk and recover from unexpected setbacks.

What Is Farm Property Insurance?

Farm property insurance is designed to protect the physical assets on your farm. This typically includes your home, barns, equipment, machinery, and sometimes livestock. If a fire, storm, theft, or other covered event damages your property, this insurance can help cover repair or replacement costs. It’s important to review your policy limits and ensure all your valuable assets are listed, especially if you’ve made recent upgrades or purchases.

What Is Crop Coverage?

Crop insurance is focused on the crops you plant and harvest. There are different types of crop insurance, including yield-based and revenue-based policies. Each offers varying levels of protection, so it’s essential to choose the right fit for your operation and the specific risks in Missouri’s climate. Depending on the policy, coverage may help cover damage from events such as drought, flooding, hail, or disease.
