Farm Insurance Built for Oregon Agriculture
Oregon farms are as diverse as the state itself — from dryland wheat operations in the Columbia Basin to irrigated vegetable farms in the Willamette Valley, hay and cattle ranches in Central Oregon, and specialty crop operations on the coast. Each type of farm faces unique risks that require tailored insurance solutions.
A standard homeowners policy is not designed for working farms. Farm insurance combines property coverage for your farmhouse, barns, and outbuildings with equipment coverage for tractors and machinery, liability protection for farm operations, and optional crop and livestock coverage — all in a single, coordinated policy.
Insure Pacific has been insuring Oregon farms since 1935. Our agents understand the specific risks of Pacific Northwest agriculture and work with specialty farm carriers to build programs that match your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about farm insurance in Oregon
What does farm insurance cover in Oregon?
Farm insurance in Oregon covers farm dwellings and outbuildings, farm equipment and machinery, crops, livestock, and farm liability. A comprehensive farm policy combines property coverage for structures and equipment with liability protection for farm operations, agritourism, and farm employees.
Is farm insurance different from homeowners insurance?
Yes. Farm insurance is specifically designed for working farms and includes coverage for farm structures (barns, silos, machine sheds), farm equipment, crops, and farm liability — none of which are covered under a standard homeowners policy. Farms require a dedicated farm owner's policy or a combination of farm and commercial policies.
Do I need separate crop insurance for my Oregon farm?
Crop insurance is typically purchased separately through USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) as Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) or through private carriers as named-peril or crop hail policies. Insure Pacific can help you evaluate MPCI options and supplement them with private crop hail or revenue protection policies.
How much does farm insurance cost in Oregon?
Farm insurance premiums vary widely based on farm size, types of crops and livestock, equipment values, structures, and liability exposures. Small hobby farms may pay $1,000–$3,000 per year, while large commercial operations may pay significantly more. Contact Insure Pacific for a customized farm insurance quote.
