As we close the year, we reflect with gratitude. A century ago, resourceful Illinois farmers founded an insurance company to solve local challenges. Today, that company serves over 1.5 million people across 19 states, standing as Illinois’ #1 farm insurer and a Top 10 nationwide.

Our partnership is stronger than ever. Illinois Farm Bureau provides members an advantage with impactful advocacy, trusted information, and meaningful development. COUNTRY Financial helps farmers plan and protect their legacy. Together, we champion agriculture—farmers and farm families—enriching lives and rural communities across generations.

From the beginning, our focus has been unwavering: serving farmers.

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.
