NFU and Hastings Mutual Insurance Company (HMIC) announced their marketing partnership last week. HMIC is an award-winning, regional Property/Casualty insurance carrier serving the Midwest since 1885.

Through this new partnership, Hastings Mutual will serve as an endorsed insurance carrier of Farmers Union and will offer a premium discount on its farmowners insurance policies to Farmers Union members in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin.

"Hastings Mutual is an outstanding insurance company that can offer top farm insurance products to our members, in addition to other great coverages including home, auto, and commercial insurance," said NFU President Roger Johnson. "We look forward to the added resources and benefits available to our members through this strong marketing partnership."

In addition to offering insurance expertise and a farm policy discount, the partnership between Hastings Mutual and Farmers Union will support rural communities through farm safety training courses and materials, membership networking and educational events, community co-ops, and additional farm industry resources for mutual members of the partner organizations.

"We are thrilled to partner with National Farmers Union and the individual state organizations in our territory to offer increased benefits for our mutual members," said Dan Hill, vice president of Marketing at Hastings Mutual.

The partnership will also seek to increase growth for Farmers Union's association membership in the Midwest as well as continue to expand Hastings Mutual Insurance Company's presence in the region's farm insurance market.
