Fall and winter are just around the corner, making now the perfect time to prepare equipment for seasonal storage. Farmers should clean, inspect, winterize, and properly store outdoor equipment to help protect their investment and reduce the risk of costly repairs next spring.

Seasonal maintenance is also a great opportunity to review insurance coverage and ensure your farm is prepared for every season.

Harvest season brings long days, dry conditions, and increased fire risk around farm equipment.

Before combines head to the field, take time to clean away crop debris, lubricate moving parts, inspect exhaust systems, and check fire extinguishers, belts, bearings, and wiring. Extra caution is also important when working around dry corn stalk bales.

A little prevention can go a long way toward protecting equipment, crops, and property.

Taking a few minutes each year to update your records can make a big difference if you ever need to file a claim. Having accurate documentation helps verify what you own and can help streamline the claims process after a covered loss.

Consider making these simple tasks part of your annual routine:
• Photograph buildings and other structures
• Save receipts and purchase records for equipment
• Record serial numbers for major machinery
• Store important documents and photos digitally in a secure location

The more organized your records are today, the easier it can be to recover tomorrow.

Today, we recognize the hardworking men and women who help keep farms running every day.

From planting and harvesting to caring for livestock and maintaining equipment, farmworkers play an essential role in feeding our communities and supporting American agriculture. Their dedication, resilience, and commitment are the foundation of countless farming operations across the country.

This Farmworker Appreciation Day, we extend our sincere thanks to everyone whose hard work makes life on the farm possible.

Your farm has changed. Has your insurance?

Over time, even small changes can have a big impact on your coverage needs. Maybe you've invested in new equipment, expanded your acreage, added livestock, built a new outbuilding, hired employees, or diversified your operation with new income streams.

As your farm grows, it's important to make sure your insurance keeps pace. An annual coverage review can help identify gaps and ensure your operation is protected for where it is today, not where it was years ago.

If your operation has grown, your insurance should grow with it.

Many farms do more than produce crops and raise livestock; they also generate income through seasonal hunting access.

If you allow hunting on your property for a fee, it's important to make sure your insurance reflects that exposure. A standard policy may not provide the protection needed for these unique liability risks.

Rockingham Farmowners PLUS offers Incidental Hunting Liability Coverage for qualifying farm owners through a simple policy endorsement. It's an easy way to help protect operations that include incidental hunting activities while providing added peace of mind.

Halfway through the year is the perfect time for a farm coverage checkup.
A lot can change in six months. New investments, expanding operations, and evolving farm activities can all affect your insurance needs, and those changes may not always be reflected in your current coverage.

Take a moment to consider:

• Have you purchased new equipment or machinery?
• Added barns, sheds, fencing, or other structures?
• Increased or changed your livestock inventory?
• Started a new farm-related business activity or revenue stream?
• Made improvements that increase the value of your property?

A quick mid-year review can provide peace of mind heading into the busiest months of the farming season.

As temperatures climb, heat stress can become a serious concern for livestock, farm workers, and family members working outdoors. Taking preventative measures can help keep everyone safe and healthy during the hottest days of summer.

A few reminders for the season:

☀ Encourage frequent hydration breaks for workers and family members
☀ Watch for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke
☀ Check ventilation systems in barns and enclosed structures
☀ Wear lightweight clothing and sun protection when working outdoors

Small precautions today can help prevent major health concerns tomorrow.
