WOW! I guess it is all where you live. We have Kansas Farm Bureau
Insurance. Our agents here bend over backwards on claims and finding
good insurance. I will agree that they are a little bit higher; but I
also feel like I am paying for the voice too. Which in Kansas is top
notch in voicing the farmers concerns in Topeka. As for policy, that is
set by representatives from your county Farm Bureaus...by FARMERS. I
suggest you visit with your county board, or better yet...get on the
board!!! Take the opportunity to make yourself heard. FB is supposed
to be a grassroots organization. When good men do nothing...evil
abounds!!
