To say the market is changing is an understatement. We are going to be (if not already) forced to deal with many of these trends. This course starts with the changing market place and all of the pressures we will face in the coming year(s). We will then shift gears to actual claims and coverage issues that have been creating a little heartburn for agents. Come along and enjoy perhaps one of the more cutting-edge courses of the year.

This presentation is a fast-paced and wide-ranging examination of issues connected to naming insureds correctly on insurance policies - a seemingly simple matter that has deep implications. The seminar is divided into two parts. The first is the "rules" of how to determine what name or names go on the dec page as a named insured. The second is the "whys" of those rules, seeking to answer: (a) why it matters who's named on the policy; and (b) what the policy implications are.

Property and liability forms available for the agribusiness client are risk finance tools, typically developed for the ‘average’ risk in this industry. As insurance professionals, we understand that very few of the clients with whom we work are ‘average’ in every aspect of their lives and businesses. As such, it is imperative that we seek endorsements and/or additional coverage forms to fill gaps for those particular exposures that are other than ‘average’. This presentation will explore endorsements that should be considered for every small or hobby farmer.
