What is Country Estate Insurance? Posted on February 9, 2021, updated on August 8, 2024 by chris The Farm Bureau Insurance Country Estate policy is designed for anyone who lives in rural areas, who owns acreage and may cultivate it, or has agricultural exposures but their primary living is made away from their land. Typically, these individuals will own five or more acres of land and their property is considered a residential agriculture zone.Farm Bureau has been insuring farms for many years, so when it comes to your property, we understand the risks you face and the need for specialized insurance protection.What All Does The Country Estate Policy Cover?The Country Estate policy offers protection for:Home and Personal PropertyFarm and Personal LiabilityFarm Personal PropertyOutbuildingsAnimalsFencesFarm SignsCargoWhat is Considered Farm Personal Property?Your policy will offer you blanket protection for farm related personal property, like grain and hay, equipment, tools, supplies, livestock, and cargo. We’ll help you add up all of your property so you can purchase the right amount of coverage for your needs. You can also insure each item separately, rather than purchase blanket coverage for everything. When it comes to animals, there are specific coverage limits so you may need to increase your coverage depending on your situation. Fences and farm signs may require additional coverage as well.What About Outbuildings?Any buildings used for farming, machinery, or crop storage can be covered under your Country Estate policy.
