New Branch of Service to Farmers in Illinois
A new Farmers Mutual Reinsurance Company will launch under the Illinois Agricultural Association and local farm bureaus to support local mutual fire and lightning insurance. The arrangement lets farmers keep coverage under local mutuals while the state reinsurance protects against heavy losses, reducing the need to seek full policies from old-line companies. Local agents will coordinate with the state company to stabilize assessments and preserve farmer control.
