Does Your Combine Have the Right Coverage Before Harvest Season in Mercer County? 

A breakdown during harvest can cost you more than downtime. Without the right coverage in place, a mechanical failure, accident in the field, or loss from fire or theft could leave you absorbing a financial hit that strains your entire operation. Harvest season in Mercer County can bring long days, heavy equipment use and elevated risk, and your insurance policies should be built to match that reality before the season begins.

What Policies Should I Consider?

Farm equipment coverage is the starting point for any combine owner. A few key policies and endorsements to review include:

• Farm equipment insurance: This can cover your machinery, tools and other equipment if stolen or damaged by fire, natural disasters or vandalism.
• Farm liability insurance: Covers bodily injury or property damage that occurs during your farming operations.
• Commercial auto insurance: This can help with damage to vehicles used for business purposes caused by fire, natural disasters, theft or vandalism.
• Workers’ compensation insurance: This can cover employees’ medical expenses and lost wages if an on-the-job incident causes illness or injury.
• Business interruption insurance: This can help offset lost income if a covered risk forces you to temporarily cease operations.
