Reducing Equipment Losses and Operational Downtime

Farm equipment represents a major investment and plays a critical role in daily agricultural operations. Tractors, harvesters, and specialized machinery are exposed to theft, accidents, and damage that can quickly disrupt productivity and create costly downtime. Farm Equipment Insurance helps protect these assets when unexpected losses occur.


At Valley Center Insurance Agency LLC, we help farmers across San Diego County secure equipment coverage based on how machinery is actually used — whether it stays on-site or moves between fields and properties. With offices in Valley Center and Escondido, we focus on preventing coverage gaps that leave valuable equipment underinsured.

What Farm Equipment Insurance Covers

Covers tractors, harvesters, loaders, and other core agricultural equipment against covered causes of loss such as fire, theft, and accidental damage.

Specialized & Custom Equipment

Protects specialty machinery and custom-built equipment used for specific crops or farming methods.

Common Questions About Farm Equipment Insurance

  • Is farm equipment covered under a standard farm property policy?

    Some equipment may be included, but many policies require separate scheduling or equipment-specific coverage. We help determine what needs additional protection.

  • Does farm equipment insurance cover equipment used off my property?

    Coverage may apply depending on how the policy is structured. Equipment that moves between locations often requires specialized coverage.

  • Is leased or rented equipment covered?

    Not automatically. Leased or rented equipment often requires additional coverage, which we help coordinate.

  • Does equipment insurance cover mechanical breakdown?

    Mechanical failure may require separate equipment breakdown coverage. We help evaluate whether this is appropriate for your operation.

  • How much equipment coverage do I need?

    Coverage depends on replacement cost, usage, and exposure. We help review equipment values to avoid underinsurance.
