    Protect the pens, sheds & corrals on your farm

    insurance for your farm shed or pen

    Pens, sheds, corrals, chutes and feed racks can be protected as part of your farm property insurance policy.

    What it covers

    • Equipment used in the service of the building – such as water pumps, motors and outdoor equipment
    • Furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment used for the operation of the building

    Ask your agent

    Be sure to talk with your agent about:

    • Whether to insure your sheds or other structures for replacement cost or actual cash value.
    • The causes of loss you want to insure for. From least to most comprehensive, your options are basic, broad or special.
    • How much deductible to carry. A higher deductible may lower your premium, but you would have to pay more in the event of a loss.
