Equipment Breakdown Coverage
Tractors, combines, and other field equipment are typically covered by your farmowner's policy. Equipment Breakdown Coverage takes it a step further and covers your stationary farm equipment such as compressors, generators, etc., due to electrical or mechanical failure.
Repairing today's complex farm equipment – ventilation systems, milking equipment, generators– is a far more complex and expensive challenge. Equipment Breakdown Coverage covers the physical damage and financial loss that can occur with a breakdown.
That's the peace of mind that Equipment Breakdown Coverage from Homestead Mutual can provide – one less thing for you to worry about.
