Every farmer hopes they never have to deal with on-farm devastation. Most days things operate well, employees stay safe and accidents don’t occur. Unfortunately, sometimes accidents and losses happen, and that is when you realize it pays to have an insurance agent who understands your dairy business.
DBA member East-Colt farm experienced first-hand the importance of having an agent and insurance agency who had their back. Three years ago, their worst nightmare came true when their barn burned down, and all the cows were lost in the fire. The family was devastated. Their agent and adjuster were out the next day and immediately cut a check to help with initial expenses. Hastings was quick to pay out everything, including high-valued cattle on the farm.
Hastings continues to be a great partner to the Dairy Business Association. All members insured by Hastings receive a 10 percent discount on their farm insurance policy. The insurance company also provides a generous kick-back in monetary support to DBA for all members insured, allowing the association to continue its critical work in advocating on dairy’s behalf.
