Bob Robbins of Farm Bureau Insurance in Franklin County notes that Farm Bureau Mutual and RFB Insurance will distribute over 1.5 million dollars in dividends to Kansas policyholders for 1972. The declaration covers policies in force through December 31 1972 with 15 percent on crop hail 10 percent on fire and extended coverage 5 percent on homeowners Farm Master and Mobile Homes and 10 percent on automobile loss free. Crop hail checks were sent in December 1972 with March 1973 fire line distributions and May 1973 for auto. The auto dividend reflects loss free experience from January 1 1972 to December 31 1972. Comprehensive coverage is excluded. Robbins cites fewer losses and underwriting profit from safer driving and reduced storm activity as the basis for dividends.
