Farm Equipment: What Coverage Do You Need to Ensure Your Equipment Is Covered 

Farm equipment is the backbone of any successful agricultural operation in Pennsylvania. These assets, from tractors and combines to irrigation systems and specialty machinery, represent a significant investment for farm owners and operators. Protecting this equipment from unexpected loss or damage is essential to keeping your farm running smoothly and minimizing financial setbacks.

Understanding Farm Equipment Insurance Options

Farm equipment insurance is designed to help safeguard your machinery against various risks. At D'Arcy D Sampsell LLC, we work with Pennsylvania farmers to tailor coverage for each operation’s unique needs. Here are some key coverage options to consider:

• Scheduled Equipment Coverage: This allows you to list specific pieces of equipment on your policy, ensuring each item is protected for its stated value.
• Blanket Equipment Coverage: This option provides a single insurance limit for all your equipment, offering flexibility if you have a large or frequently changing inventory.
• Replacement Cost vs. Actual Cash Value: Policies may offer replacement cost coverage (paying to replace damaged equipment with new) or actual cash value (factoring in depreciation). We help you understand which option best fits your needs.

What Risks Are Typically Covered?

Farm equipment insurance can protect against a variety of risks, including:

• Fire, lightning, and windstorm damage
• Theft or vandalism
• Accidental collisions or overturns
• Flood or water damage (may require additional coverage)
• Mechanical breakdown (optional add-ons may be available)
