Lynn,
Four of us producers make up the "Wyoming Fresh Market Committee". This committee carries our liability policy and we provided no social security numbers for insurance purposes.

There is a new complication with our Farmers' Market, set to open
tomorrow. The insurance carrier (general liability)won't insure us as we
are (a bunch of people coming together for a Farmers' Market). The only
solution they see is for one or both of the organizers to put the
insurance in our name (provide our social security number). Whoever does
that would be a "sole proprietor" -- the entity -- that is responsible for
the market.

That doesn't sound like a good idea to me; I worry enough about the
liability on my own farm. I don't want to be responsible for a lot of
other people. Any thoughts on this?
