The sort of exemption you talk about is a very old legal principle, the kind of thing one expects to find on the books; so it wouldn’t surprise me if many states have such laws.  Nor would it surprise me if insurers used ignorance of such legal protection to increase policy rates…

 

I’m certainly not saying you should take the existence of such protection for granted, but I would check before assuming there is no such protection.

 

And now to protect myself from the topic police:  Our few surviving pomegranates have a mild but sweetly delicious flavor.  I wish I had enough to juice!  I usually find the juice too heavy, but these would produce something light and refreshing.  Next year I’ll try bagging them to stop the dreaded squirrels.  Were I back in the country, I might have tried bagging the squirrel…

A few years back my Home Owners Insurance company refused to issue an umbrella policy specifically becasue of my involvement with NAFEX and to a lesser extent fruit growing in general In the end even with curtailing my NAFEX involvement the underwriters refu= sed to accept the umbrealla risk so I never did get the policy.

Did you try another insurance company?  Farm Bureau canceled my homeowners policy when they found I have a wood fired furnace in the garage to heat my house.  State Farm took me with the same coverage limits and at a lower premium. 

Do you live in California?

Indiana passed legislation that protects landowners from nuisance suits when people are using others property for sporting and outdoor recreation unless paying for that service. Landowners are no longer liable for deer hunters who fall out of a tree, for example, while hunting. Sportsman are welcome here. NAFEX members also.
