Protect your farm & livelihood
Your farm is your livelihood and, likely, your most valuable asset. It is something that needs to be protected and cared for no matter what man or nature throws its way.

Sandifer Insurance is a company that understands your desire to protect your livelihood and we want to help protect people like you, the backbone of America that is putting food on the country’s tables.

Benefits of insuring your farm
A farmer that has agricultural insurance is protecting themselves against setbacks and natural disasters. One of the primary benefits of insuring your farm is to protect against poverty after a natural disaster. When a horrible storm strikes and ruins a crop or an entire farm, it is important that you are able to land on your feet after the dust has settled.
Now, you probably know far more about farming than your insurance carrier. However, with the constant rise in technology in agriculture, your provider will likely help you invest in these new types of equipment to help you be successful. Your success is their success and they want to see you break new ground with top-of-the-line equipment.
The most obvious benefit of insuring your farm is also the most important: peace of mind. As a farmer, you have to worry about enough things as it is. Having insurance on your farm enables you to relax and discard worries of being sent to the poor house just after a natural disaster. We don’t want to see your farm fail, so we will do anything in our power to keep it running.

MPCI is backed by the government and well regulated. Almost 90% of farmers that decide to purchase farm insurance decide to opt-in for MPCI. Its benefits are obvious as it covers a wide range of foreseeable threats to your farm. The MPCI is available on over 120 different types of crop, so it is important to contact us to find out if your particular crop is eligible.
Crop-hail Insurance
South Carolina and North Carolina can have their infrequent hail storms. This type of insurance protects against them in the event that it has a substantial destructive effect on your yield. This is usually purchased as a supplement to MPCI which does not cover hail related damage.
Crop Revenue Insurance
This is a special type of insurance that farmers can purchase to protect their yield numbers. Crop revenue insurance protects you and your farm if the yield is lower than usual or if the price drops on your particular crop.
