While we do have a tremendous farm insurance product, and have access to numerous crop and hail insurance companies, we also offer competitive home and auto insurance products as well. 

No. I am licensed to sell insurance anywhere in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Arizona. I can provide insurance for you anywhere in those 3 states. If you feel I'm best suited to provide your insurance protection, I'm happy to do so. Farmers Union does have a great team of insurance agents spread across the state. Its one of the great things about our company. We are present in many of the small towns that many of the other companies don't feel are worth their time or investment.

I don't just consider being an insurance agent a job. I consider it a professional career. With that comes the need for education and training. I have met the necessary requirements to become an Ag and Farm Insurance Specialist (AFIS), as well as a Certified Professional Insurance Agent (CPIA). I take pride in having achieved these designations as well as being part of the network of other agents across the country that have also achieved them.

Fun fact: I also carry the official title of Lord. That story I'll save for an in person conversation. Lord Tyler Van Bruggen does have a nice ring to it though, doesn't it?
