About the course
Modern farm operations combine high-value property, specialized production systems, and living assets that require insurance solutions beyond a standard farm policy. This course examines the unique risks associated with specialty agricultural operations, livestock mortality, and comprehensive farm risk management. You'll learn how to evaluate specialized dairy, poultry, and swine facilities, protect valuable breeding and production livestock, and address critical exposures involving machinery, chemicals, biosecurity, pollution, weather, equipment breakdown, power interruption, and business interruption. The course also explores livestock valuation, veterinary claims requirements, succession planning, environmental liability, and operational continuity, while emphasizing the broker's role in developing integrated insurance programs that protect both the farm's physical assets and its ongoing production. By the end of this course, you'll be better equipped to identify complex agricultural exposures, recommend appropriate insurance solutions, and help farming clients build resilient operations that can withstand both traditional and emerging risks.
