Farmers form cooperative insurance in Morton and Olive Counties
The Morton and Olive Counties Fire and Lightning Insurance Company started in 1900 offering $2 membership, 50 cents per $100 insurance, with five year renewals and 10 cents per $10 in force each time. By 1913 a 0.20 and 0.10 per hundred assessment raised rates, now $1.20 per $100 for about fourteen years, plus the initial $2 fee. The plan relies on cooperation, low overhead, and strict fire laws. It now serves 900 members with $1,730,000 in force, with future costs expected to rise modestly due to higher wages and more valuable buildings.
