Anyone ever hear of farmers insurance?

I think they probably would use it for hedging against like a drought or a blight.  They also often sell futures so that they don't carry the market risk.

Im pretty sure farmers doesn't even sell farm insurance. Nationwide is the #1 insurer of farms in the country.

Are there any websites that aggregate quotes for you, so that you can plug your info in only once? I'd pay 50 bucks for that.

If you have a Berkshire stock it's 7% or 8% off, I don't remember exactly.

They don't make you prove it, it is a question on the enrollment iirc. Many people own some through a mutual fund or retirement account.
