Nationwide Agribusiness Insurance Company

October is National Fire Prevention Month, and while fire remains a major concern for farmers, severe weather and other property risks can be just as costly.

On this episode of the podcast, we'll hear from Nationwide Agribusiness about some of the leading causes of property losses on farms, what farmers can do to reduce those risks, and new resources available through Nationwide to help protect operations.

That's what's coming up after this.

[upbeat music] At AgCredit, we've been proudly providing support and financing for agriculture and rural Ohio for generations.

From barn fires to severe weather, property damage can create significant financial challenges for our farm families.

Nationwide's claims data shows that property related risks account for 65% of farm claims, with fire, wind, and hail among those leading causes of loss.

Laramie Sandquist, Senior Associate Vice President of Risk Management for Nationwide Agribusiness, joins us to discuss common property risks facing farms, steps farm families can take to prevent costly damage, and how Nationwide's new property risk solutions program can help protect agricultural operations.

Laramie, welcome back to the Ohio Farm Bureau podcast.

October is National Fire Prevention Month, and of course, that is, uh, a time where we highlight a lot of the property risk of fires and, of course, just thinking about risk on the farm and ranch in general.

We wanna learn about Nationwide's new property risk solutions program and have a conversation with friend of the show, Laramie Sandquist, Senior AVP of Risk Management at Nationwide Agribusiness.

Laramie, good to talk with you again, sir.

Hope all is well.

Hopefully, the weather will, will appre- or, you know, uh, uh, it will, uh, cooperate with us here over the next couple weeks so folks can get out there and get moving.

Uh, but let's just make sure we're doing it in a safe and effective manner.

Couldn't agree more, and I know folks can get more details on the Property Risk Solutions program, or just more advice and tips in general, nationwide.com. Laramie Sandquist, Nationwide Agribusiness, good to talk with you, sir.

Thanks for joining us on the show.
