It’s summer and it’s hot and humid. Risk of heat stress increases in periods of high heat and humidity, limited air movement, heavy physical labor, low liquid intake or direct exposure to the sun. It’s important to have a plan in place to mitigate the impact of the summer heat on your employee teams.

Here are five tips to prevent heat illnesses
1️⃣Know the signs and symptoms of heat illness
2️⃣Monitor yourself and co-workers
3️⃣Drink often and before you are thirsty
4️⃣Avoid beverage containing caffeine or alcohol
5️⃣Wear lightweight, light colored, loose fitting clothing

Stay safe!

Not all insurance coverage is created equal — and choosing the right level matters more than you might think.

🔹 Basic coverage helps protect against major catastrophes like fire, wind, or hail. It’s the least expensive option, but it can leave gaps that may cost more down the road.
🔹 Broad coverage builds on the basics by adding protection for more types of losses—more coverage, more peace of mind.
🔹 Special coverage offers the broadest protection, covering unexpected events with specific exclusions like wear and tear or earth movement. It’s often the go to choice for farmers who want maximum certainty that their buildings, equipment, and assets are protected.

The right coverage depends on your operation, your risk tolerance, and what you can’t afford to replace.

👉 Let’s make sure your insurance matches your operation. Give us a call at 1‑877‑466‑9089

Insurance is something you hope you never need — but when you do, gaps can be costly.

We work with a variety of farms, ranches, feedlots and even breweries. Here are some of the most common insurances gaps we see:

• Outdated policies
• Changes to buildings, equipment, or payroll
• New risks that weren’t covered years ago

The challenge? You are an expert at running your operation, not tracking constant insurance changes. That’s where a regular coverage review can make a big difference.
Now is a good time to ask:

Does your insurance match how your operation runs today? If it doesn’t, give us a call for and in-depth insurance analysis at 1-877-466-9089.
