Farm Insurance in Great Falls, MT – Serving Farms Across Central Montana

Smart coverage. Simple options. Support from someone who knows your name.

Farming in Montana comes with real challenges—and your insurance needs to reflect that. Between weather, equipment demands, and daily operations, your coverage should match how your farm actually runs, not just a standard policy.



At Tschetter Agency, we work with farmers here in Great Falls and across nearby communities like Fairfield, Fort Benton, Choteau, and Cascade. While we’re based locally, we also support farm operations throughout Montana—helping you protect your land, your equipment, and your livelihood with coverage that fits.

Coverage That Supports Your Farm Day to Day

Farm insurance is designed to protect more than just property—it helps keep your operation moving when something goes wrong. We walk through how coverage applies to real situations on Montana farms.

Crop Loss Protection

Weather, pests, and disease can impact your yield without warning. Coverage helps reduce the financial impact when crops are damaged by covered events.

Livestock Protection

Your livestock is a major part of your operation. Coverage helps protect against loss from accidents, illness, or theft.

Farm Structures and Equipment

From barns to machinery, your operation depends on working assets. Coverage helps repair or replace what keeps your farm running.

Liability Coverage

Accidents involving visitors, contractors, or third parties can happen. Liability protection helps cover medical costs, damages, and legal expenses.

Income Protection During Downtime

If your operation is interrupted by a covered event, this helps cover lost income and ongoing expenses so you can stay afloat.

Key Considerations When Choosing Farm Insurance

Farm insurance in Great Falls and across Montana should be built around how your operation actually works—not just a basic policy.

Montana Weather and Seasonal Risk

Wind, snow, drought, and seasonal changes all impact farms differently depending on your location and setup.

Type of Farming Operation

Crop farms, livestock operations, and mixed-use farms each require different coverage structures.

Equipment Investment

Modern equipment is expensive and essential. Coverage should reflect real replacement costs—not outdated estimates.

Liability Exposure on Your Property

Visitors, workers, and day-to-day activity increase your exposure to liability claims.

Coverage Flexibility Across Carriers

Different carriers offer different strengths. We help align coverage with your farm instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.

We walk through your operation so you can make a clear, informed decision—not just assume you’re covered.

When Farm Insurance Actually Matters

You don’t think about your coverage until something disrupts your operation—and that’s when it matters most.

Severe Weather Across Central Montana

Storms and extreme conditions can damage crops, buildings, and equipment quickly.

Equipment Failure or Loss

If critical machinery goes down, your operation can stop immediately.

Livestock Incidents

Unexpected loss affects both production and income.

Property Damage

Liability Situations

Questions we often hear

Straight answers that reflect our approach

  • Are you a fiduciary and fee-only?

    Yes. We are legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest in every recommendation and decision. Fee-only means we are compensated only by you, not by commissions or product incentives, which helps remove conflicts that can cloud advice. You will know exactly how we are paid and what you can expect in return. This structure supports objective guidance and a transparent relationship from day one.

  • What does your planning process include?

    Your plan begins with a structured discovery to understand your goals, resources, and constraints. We evaluate retirement readiness, cash flow, estate and beneficiary structure, insurance needs, and tax-aware strategies across accounts. The result is a prioritized action list with timelines and ownership so progress is measurable. We review and update the plan regularly to reflect life changes and market conditions.

  • How do you manage investments for risk and return?

    Portfolios are built around your objectives using diversified building blocks and a disciplined rebalancing schedule. We focus on controllable factors such as costs, taxes, and behavior to improve the consistency of outcomes over time. Monitoring is ongoing, and adjustments occur when your plan or risk profile changes, not based on headlines. You receive clear reporting that explains what changed and why.

  • Can you coordinate with my CPA and attorney?

    Yes. We regularly collaborate with outside professionals to align planning, tax strategy, and estate documents. Our role is to make sure each decision supports your overall objectives and to keep all parties informed. This coordination helps reduce errors, avoid duplication, and surface opportunities that may be missed when advisors work in silos. With your permission, we facilitate the information flow and meeting cadence.

  • What is the typical first step if I am interested?

    It starts with a short introductory call to confirm fit and discuss your priorities. If we both wish to proceed, we schedule a discovery meeting to review your financial picture in more detail and outline next steps. You will see how the planning and investment process works, what the timeline looks like, and what the fees will be. There is no obligation, and you will leave with a clear understanding of how we can help.
