A New Fuel Benefit for VT Farm Bureau Members Save on Propane, #2 Fuel Oil & On and Off-road Diesel Fuel!

Vermont Farm Bureau has signed a new recommended provider agreement with Pyrofax Energy. The new program will save money for members on propane and #2 fuel oil, on and off road diesel fuel, and the complete line of Pyrofax heating, air conditioning, water heating, and water conditioning products. It also offers members a free annual tune up and inspection on their residential heating systems. The new agreement is tied to the posted Selkirk average price for propane and the Valero rack price for #2 fuel oil, kerosene, and on and off-road diesel fuel. The Selkirk price changes weekly, and the Valero price is a daily change; both will be made available to Farm Bureau on a regular basis. Farm Bureau members should contact the nearest Pyrofax dealer or Vermont Farm Bureau for details.

 
         
         

 

Nationwide offers professional service from farm knowledgeable insurance agents.

The better your insurance agent knows and understands your farming operation, the more
he or she can act as your trusted partner to help ensure you have the insurance coverages you need while helping to keep your farm insurance costs reasonable.

Nationwide Agribusiness Insurance Company, which is sponsored and endorsed by Vermont Farm Bureau, developed its On Your Side Farm Certification program toward this goal. A farm certified agent is trained to work closely with

you to identify farm risks and to help you prevent losses before they occur. That can keep you and your family safer, and can benefit your bottom line. Along with exclusive training on different types of farm operations, including buildings, equipment, crop and livestock types, and the coverages available to protect them, On Your Side Farm Certified agents are asked to make service commitments to their customers. Farm certified agents are trained to provide customers with:

•A personalized risk assessment report

•An annual insurance review

•Follow-up calls after a claim or coverage changes

•A contact when new farm coverages become available

•Farm certified agents must re-certify periodically to stay current with changes in agriculture and trends in farming and ranching.

Look for an On Your Side Farm Certified Nationwide agent for professional service from farm knowledgeable insurance agents. More Nationwide farm insurance agents are becoming certified every week. To date, twelve Nationwide agents in Vermont have made the commitment to superior farm protection by becoming On Your Side Farm Certified and are listed below. For more information about the farm certification program or farm insurance from Nationwide Agribusiness, contact one of the following agents, or call 800-228-6700.
