Protecting Your Buildings, Structures, and Farm Assets

Farm property faces risks that go far beyond standard commercial or residential buildings. Fires, storms, equipment damage, vandalism, and unexpected losses can threaten barns, outbuildings, processing areas, and the physical infrastructure your operation depends on. Farm property insurance is designed to protect the structures and assets that keep your farm running.



In San Diego County, agricultural properties often include a mix of barns, sheds, irrigation systems, fencing, storage buildings, and on-site residences. At Valley Center Insurance Agency LLC, we help farm owners secure property coverage that reflects how their land and structures are actually used — helping prevent gaps that can leave critical assets underinsured.

What Farm Property Insurance Covers

Farm property insurance protects physical structures and farm-related property from covered losses tied to daily agricultural operations.

Barns & Agricultural Structures

Covers barns, storage buildings, greenhouses, and other farm structures against covered losses such as fire, wind, and vandalism.

Farm Buildings & Outbuildings

Protects sheds, workshops, equipment housing, and other supporting buildings essential to farm operations.

Irrigation & Water Systems

May include coverage for pumps, piping, water systems, and related infrastructure critical to agricultural production.

Fencing & Fixed Improvements

Provides protection for fencing, gates, and permanently installed improvements that support livestock or crop operations.

On-Site Farm Residences

Can extend coverage to homes located on farm property when properly structured within a farm policy.

Common Questions About Farm Property Insurance

  • Is farm property insurance required in California?

    Farm property insurance is not always legally required, but it is commonly required by lenders and strongly recommended to protect buildings and structures critical to farm operations.

  • Does farm property insurance cover older barns and structures?

    Yes, but older buildings may require special valuation and underwriting. We help ensure proper coverage based on condition and use.

  • Are irrigation systems and fencing covered?

    Coverage may apply depending on policy structure. We help determine what property should be scheduled or included.

  • Does farm property insurance cover equipment stored in buildings?

    Some equipment may be covered under property insurance, while mobile equipment may require separate coverage. We help coordinate both.
