The History of Colorado Farm Bureau Insurance
Insurance is one of many services available to Members of the Colorado Farm Bureau. The insurance company, Colorado Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company, originated as an insurance program offered to farmers and ranchers of Colorado through the Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company of Kansas, with the understanding that Colorado Farm Bureau would assume control when the program became financially self supporting. In 1950, Colorado Farm Bureau Mutual Casualty Company was organized under the sponsorship of Colorado Farm Bureau. Colorado Farm Bureau Mutual Fire insurance Company was chartered in 1953 to provide property insurance. In 1956, both corporate entities merged into one company, Colorado Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company.

In 1953, several Western states recognized the need to sell life insurance. The Farm Bureau Members of six Western states, including Colorado, joined forces and formed a life insurance company owned by those states called Western Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company. The combination of our Mutual Company and the Life Company allowed our agents to offer a complete line of insurance products for our members. In 1994, Western Farm Bureau Life consolidated with FBL Financial Services of Iowa. This consolidation provided our agents with an even broader range of life, health and financial services for Farm Bureau Members. In 1999, Western was merged into Farm Bureau Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of FBL.

In June 2005, Colorado Farm Bureau created a wholly owned subsidiary, Colorado Farm Bureau Investment Company. This company was funded by Colorado Farm Bureau in the amount of $400,000 which was then used to purchase 666 2/3 shares of common stock in Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company, a large Farm Bureau Insurance Company headquartered in Mississippi with over $2 billion in assets. Along with Colorado there are four other Farm Bureau stockholder states; Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina.

While all business is written in Colorado Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company, we cede all losses and expenses of our casualty business (Auto, GL and Umbrella) to Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company. We have maintained an A. M. Best rating of B++ (Very Good) for our Mutual Company and Southern Casualty has a rating of A+.
