Farming is a volatile industry full of risks that many other businesses do not face. Farmers often don’t have a say in setting the prices for their products or what they must pay to support their businesses. However, one thing you can do is look at how much you pay for insurance to ensure you have the right coverage at the right price. To understand your poultry farm insurance coverage better, ask these questions when you meet with your agent.
