What's covered

The coverage, laid out plainly.

01

Dwelling & contents

The home and personal property — same as a standard homeowners policy.

02

Outbuildings (the upgrade)

Detached barns, workshops, equipment sheds, hay barns, livestock shelters — properly sized, not capped at 10%.

03

Equipment & machinery

Tractors, implements, ATVs, livestock trailers, irrigation. Damage, theft, breakdown depending on policy.

04

Livestock

Cattle, horses, goats, sheep, poultry — covered against named perils like lightning, fire, weather, theft.

05

Working-land liability

Visitors on the property, hunting leases, agritourism, custom hay or harvest work.

06

Loss of income

If a covered loss takes the property out of production, certain policies pay for lost income while you recover.

Farm & Ranch insurance is for rural property owners across Guadalupe County and the broader Texas Hill Country. If your property has acreage, working barns, equipment, livestock, fencing, or a mix of personal and agricultural use — this is the policy that fits.

Who this is for

A standard homeowners policy will not cover most of what makes rural property rural. A farm and ranch policy combines the dwelling, structures, equipment, livestock, and working-land liability under one coverage structure built for working land.

The carrier panel for working land

Five carriers we go to for farm and ranch placements: Hochheim Prairie (Texas-based, deep roots in Hill Country rural property), Germania, Travelers, Main Street America, and Liberty Mutual. We shop across them at every renewal.

Why this is different from standard home insurance

Three big differences:

  1. Outbuilding coverage is properly sized. Standard policies cap "other structures" at 10% of dwelling. A real working barn is often worth more than 10% of the house.
  2. Equipment isn't excluded. Standard homeowners excludes most farm equipment outright. Farm policies include it.
  3. Liability fits real activity. Standard homeowners liability assumes residential use. The minute someone gets hurt working your hay or your hunting lease, you may not be covered.
Local context

The Hill Country has its own risk profile.

01

Hail & wind

On outbuildings and equipment, just like residential property — but with much higher rebuild values per structure.

02

Drought & fire

Grazing land and hay storage face fire risk in dry years. Worth confirming your policy responds correctly.

03

Hunting leases

A recurring revenue source on rural property. Standard homeowners liability often excludes lease activity. Farm policies cover it with proper structuring.

Frequently asked questions

What is farm and ranch insurance?

Farm and ranch insurance is a specialty policy that covers rural property — the dwelling, outbuildings (barns, sheds, workshops), equipment (tractors, implements), liability for working land, and often livestock and fencing. It replaces both a standard homeowners policy and a separate equipment / liability policy with one integrated coverage.

Does homeowners insurance cover outbuildings and equipment?

A standard homeowners policy includes a small allowance for 'other structures' — typically 10% of the dwelling limit — which is rarely enough for a working barn, shop, or guest cabin. Farm equipment, livestock, and working-property liability are not covered by standard homeowners at all. A farm and ranch policy fills those gaps.

Can WKI insure mixed-use rural properties?

Yes. We have specialty markets that handle homes on acreage, working ranches, hobby farms, and properties with a mix of personal and agricultural use. The right structure depends on the operation — we walk through it case by case.

Does farm insurance cover hunting leases?

It can, but you need to add the right liability endorsement — most farm policies cover it with proper structuring while many standard homeowners policies exclude it. If you lease land for hunting, mention it during the quote so we set the policy correctly.

Got rural property and a generic policy?

That's the conversation. We can usually structure something better in fifteen minutes. Walk in, give us a call, or quote online.
