Agriculture is more than just an industry—it’s a way of life built on faith, resilience, and community. Farmers don’t just grow crops; they cultivate relationships, strengthen communities, and ensure families across the country have food on their tables. Their work is demanding, unpredictable, and deeply rooted in the principle that no one succeeds alone.
As winter begins to fade and spring approaches, many people assume that the worst of the cold weather is behind them. However, late-season storms and fluctuating temperatures can still pose serious risks to homes, businesses, and ministry buildings. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures don’t always follow the calendar, and the transition from winter to spring can bring its own set of challenges, from sudden snows to unexpected wind storms damaging roofs and outbuildings.
If you’ve ever opened your insurance renewal notice and wondered why your premium changed, you’re not alone. It’s a common question: “Does insurance go up every year at renewal?” The answer isn’t always straightforward. While some rate changes stem from personal factors like claims or coverage adjustments, others are driven by broader trends like inflation, increased risks, or even changes in the insurance industry.
