What you’ll hear

In this episode of the BulkLoads Podcast, Jared Flinn sits down with Jeff Vale and Larry Hurt of the Bulk Insurance Group to explore a critical yet often overlooked component of bulk freight and agriculture: insurance. This discussion introduces the new farm and agribusiness insurance services now available through Bulk Insurance Group—tailored specifically for farmers, grain elevators, feed mills, and ag operations closely tied to bulk trucking.

Learn why many ag operations are underinsured, how blanket coverage actually works, and what separates farm insurance from agribusiness policies. Jeff and Larry explain how combining trucking and ag insurance under one expert team simplifies coverage, reduces risk, and can even cut costs. This episode is packed with actionable insights for agribusiness owners, co-ops, grain companies, and farmers navigating rising costs, aging agents, and increasing liabilities.

If your business hauls bulk commodities, operates a feed mill, or runs a grain elevator, this episode is a must-listen. The Bulk Insurance Group team brings insider knowledge and a personal approach to protecting the people and assets that drive America’s ag economy.

Whether you're insuring livestock, grain bins, trucking operations, or need cyber coverage and life insurance for estate planning, this episode breaks down what you need to know to stay protected and profitable.
