I'm willing to try anything, but I recall having agents tell me they checked a company called Citizens. I can talk to them again.

"Farm this." "Farm that." You name it. Called.

Eqgroup doesn't even respond. Exactly what I expected. As I said before, I contacted every insurance company and independent broker in the area.

From $3400 to $8000 in one year. And my area has never, in history, had sustained hurricane winds. They appear to be using people in low-risk areas to make up for their losses from the coasts.

Hey, I'm open to suggestions. Marion County, Florida. But I spent over a week calling every insurer and broker I could find, and every single one told me the same thing. I'll bet you can't name anyone I didn't call.

Thanks for the replies. I wear Carhartt because they sit at my real waist, they last about ten times as long as Levi's, and they are tailored for work, not sitting on a bar stool. They have lots of pockets, and there are no rivets to scratch furniture or cars. Turns out Carhartt doesn't make...

I got married, and my wife arrived with girly jeans that are really blue stretch pants pretending to be jeans. The ones nearly all women wear now. They are useless on a farm where there are thorns and so on. She still has not visited the pasture or the woods. We went to Rural King. I figured...

Hasn't killed anyone yet. He may have to leave anyway, because Florida insurers will not insure homes with cattle any more. That includes insurers with "Farm" in the name. I tried them all. No idea what to put here next.

Not correct. I talked to numerous insurers. Cattle are a problem in 2023.

Since it has been brought up, my contract doesn't actually rent out the property as a whole. It provides the farmer with the right to put the cattle there. He's not really a tenant. He has no right to exclude me. He has to maintain the fences and so on. I reserved the right to shoot or do...

I don't know why he came over to the fence the first time. Seemed very friendly on that occasion. I guess I can pick up an air horn. It sounds like fun to tame cattle and treat them like pets, but if they're too used to you, they will crowd around you and prevent you from doing anything.

This is a little weird. A tenant has cattle on my farm, and I also live there. One of the cattle is an Angus bull. A while back, while I was standing at a fence that separated me from the cattle, the bull wandered over slowly and presented his forehead. This was a new experience to me. I used...

I appreciate the help, but I have called everyone in the universe. Today I talked to a guy who does nothing but insure farms, and he said I have to have horses plus a horse barn in order to get insurance through his carriers. Cattle are dealbreakers. Even my 8 scrawny tax-dodge cattle. Looks...

Farm Bureau finally returned my call after several days. Farm Bureau does not insure farms in Florida.

They are going to get back to me. Florida is really something. USAA just told me they could insure me if it weren't hurricane season. That was a new one on me. Apparently if your insurance renews during that half of the year, it can cause you problems. I'm going to see what I can do about...
