What is a deductible?


A deductible is the amount of damages that you agree you will be responsible for if you have a claim.

Most insurance policies have a deductible which states that a portion of the amount paid for the loss will be subtracted (deducted) from the amount the insurance company would otherwise pay. This amount is not paid to the company, it simply becomes your share of the loss and is deducted from the payment.



What kind of insurance can I purchase from Farm Bureau?

Farm Bureau Town & Country Insurance Company can write your automobiles, home, farm, motorcycles, motorhomes, boats, mobilehomes, farm trucks and many other exposures. Through our other affiliates, we can provide for all your insurance needs from Life and Health, to retirement planning. Contact a Farm Bureau agent for details.


Why do I have a deductible?

Deductibles serve several functions. Shifting the cost of small claims to the person buying the insurance (insured) enables the insurance company to reduce premiums. Small dollar claims often cost more to adjust and settle than the claim itself. The cost of insurance would be much higher if there were no deductibles. The higher the deductible, the lower your premium cost.


Will insurance pay for trees that are blown down in my yard?

Your property policy for your home or farm will NOT cover a tree if it is blown down in your yard. You have coverage for the tree for fire, lightning damage, or vandalism, but not for wind.
