U.S. agriculture and rural life underwent a tremendous transformation in the 20th century. Up to and including the early 20th century, agriculture was incredibly labor intensive. It took place on many small, diversified farms in rural areas and its intent was not only in pursuit of profit but also to sustain the family. It was not uncommon for generations to reside on the family farm and both live and work on the property.

In the second half of the 20th century and continuing into the 21st century, automation has allowed for greater productivity on smaller land masses. As such, ag production has become concentrated on a smaller number of large, specialized farms in rural areas where, today, less than a fourth of the U.S. population lives.

Still, most farms in the U.S. today would be considered small or hobby farms. This presentation is designed as an overview of the ISO Farm Property program, that, when understood and properly used, can afford many of the vital coverages necessary to finance the risk of the small or hobby farmer.

3 Ethics CE Hours

Member $84 / Non-member $120

Instructor: Richard Pitts

For instructors as well as producers, the ongoing study of professional ethics is a continuing education class struggle. By the very nature of the subject, ethics classes run the risk of being filled with platitudes or devolving into sermons. Platitudes and sermons do not make for good attendee engagement, which ultimately hurts the effectiveness of the class.

This seminar uses a few minutes to make this point and to explain what follows. The first hour is to demonstrate that professional ethics are worth studying – and worthy of continuing education – and do have a few objective characteristics to them. The hour concludes with a brief review of how professional ethics is good in theory and often quite bad in practice – it looks at the process of “moral disengagement” from an Insurance Journal article.

The second and third hour seek to engage the students by reviewing actual, case-based situations to determine the best ethical resolution and decide how the controversy could have been avoided. In each instance, the scenario presented is based on a real case. Students receive “resolution” of the dilemma by the discussion of the outcome of the case, but are also left to ponder some of the ethics quandaries that are embedded in each situation.

Businesses whose operations require that they take customers’ autos into their care, custody or control have unique exposures. Their legal liability associated with bodily injury and/or property damage to a third party while in possession of these non-owned autos presents substantial risk. Also, it is reasonable for the customer to expect their vehicle to be returned to them in no worse condition than when they left it and that any requested work be done properly.

Whether your client offers true garage services such as maintenance or repair of customer autos, simple customer convenience operations like valet services and parking garage operations or other services such as full-service carwash and/or detailing services, Commercial General Liability forms have limitations and outright exclusions that force the insurance professional to identify, analyze, control, finance and administer an effective risk management plan.

This presentation will concentrate on using the ISO Commercial General Liability Coverage Form, the Business Auto Coverage Form, and several important endorsements to manage the uncertainty associated with these operations.
