Driving in North Dakota comes with its own set of risks-icy highways on I-94, rural roads where deer crossings are common, and hailstorms that can leave vehicles badly damaged. At Bowerman Insurance Agency, we provide auto insurance in Steele, ND and Bismarck that keeps you protected on every trip. As an independent insurance agency, we shop multiple carriers to find the right balance of coverage and cost for your needs.

Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI)

Your Primary Safety Net for Weather and Markets

Multi-Peril Crop Insurance is the backbone of crop protection in ND. Offered by private insurers and supported by the USDA, MPCI shields your farm from multiple perils-drought, excess rain, hail, frost, disease, insects-and, with revenue options, price swings. Bowerman Insurance Agency guides our area producers through elections and paperwork so coverage fits your acres and cash flow.

Choose Yield or Revenue Protection

Pick Yield Protection to insure a percentage of your APH, or Revenue Protection to combine yield and market price for a guaranteed income floor. For some operations, Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion can lower premium while still covering yield shortfalls. We'll compare scenarios specific to your farming operation.

Dates, Decisions, and Claims-Simplified

Enroll by the sales closing date, select a coverage level (often 50-85%), report acreage after planting, and update production each year. If actual yield or revenue falls below your guarantee, a claim is paid. Bowerman Insurance Agency coordinates reporting, unit structure, and claims so you can focus on the field.

From Drought Years to Wet Harvests

In a tough season, MPCI can be the difference between breaking even and a major loss. Pairing MPCI with targeted add-ons, like hail coverage for spot losses, creates a stronger risk plan for central North Dakota.
