Storms can be scary, and it's natural to hope for the best.

If you’ve ever thought that you may not have enough life insurance, you’re not alone. According to the 2025 Insurance Barometer Study Report, 25 million Americans feel that they are underinsured, while 74 million Americans don’t have any life insurance at all.

So, what stops us from getting the coverage we know we need? Cost, or more accurately, perceived cost. Historically, nearly three-quarters of Americans overestimate the cost of a basic term life insurance policy. It’s worth noting that respondents, 35 and under, who said they were healthy overestimated the price of life insurance 7-10x the actual cost.

The truth is the right life insurance for your needs might be more affordable than you think. Learn more about life insurance and what options are available to you at countryfinancial.com/life.

March 24, 2026, is National Agriculture Day or Ag Day. It’s a day to recognize agriculture’s contribution to our everyday lives and to thank America’s farmers and farm families for their tireless dedication.

Here at COUNTRY Financial, we understand and celebrate the impacts farmers make every day. That’s because our roots are in agriculture. Started by a group of Illinois farmers over 100 years ago, today, we provide farm insurance in 10 states and crop insurance in Illinois and we have over 400 Farm Certified Reps, like me!

Thank a farmer for the food and other necessities they work hard to provide for all of us every day.

Happy Ag Day 2026!
