Idk why I'm still with Farm Bureau. Every year when I have to pay my $50 annual dues I think to myself, "why the frick am I with these people?" But begrudgingly pay it, and forget about it until following November.

How about a prescriptive period longer than 1 year?


This is the simplest solution for "tort reform". Will lead to less lawsuits as there is more than year to settle a case without having to file suit. Less lawsuits means less costs for claims. Very few states have a 1 year prescriptive period.

Any of you Geico baws having problems with them constantly raising the rate? Have had them for 2 years and my starting rate was really good, but they raise my rates every renewal by about 8-$10/ month.

You’ll appreciate being with Farm Bureau if you ever have a claim. They’re one of the easiest companies to deal with and treat their insurers well.

JBE has nothing to do with it. People have been leaving for years. They are getting killed by independent agents. Independents will save you a lot of money with the same service

So you're pissed off that they caused you to get better insurance at a cheaper price? Sounds like they did you a favor.

Yep took pitures and everything. Hopefully State farm will fight for me and won't surrender.


They will not. Easier to pass costs on to you via premiums.

I didn’t switch to Geico from SF because Geico raised the quote over a short period of time. They quoted me a price then a few months later when I went to sign up, the cost was significantly higher and about the same as SF.
