We struggle to make enough to keep up with taxes, utilities and building and equipment repairs. I'm nearing 60 and have nothing saved for retirement (in part because I hope to die still working the farm) other than the farm itself, unless you count the $34 currently in my checking account. "Good insurance" is not an option. Even if it was, the best (and worst) insurance is particularly good for insurance companies. You don't see them scrounging up office space in an old barn, or in a formerly abandoned warehouse in the dead part of downtown when their payouts hit hard. Nope, they take your premiums and do quite well by them as part of "managed risk" - the overwhelming odds that most of their policy holders will never make a substantial claim. You likely won't ever see your broker "broke", nor the company they work for. In the worst case scenarios, the gov (your tax dollars) bails them out, after deduction a substantial portion for "management fees".
I'd much rather send someone like Allen a check that does real good to someone who does real work, than send a check to someone who pushes paper and collects bonuses on up-selling riders that bring in more revenue than risk, who in turn might send a small portion to someone who has "suffered a covered loss" (not valid in all instances, some exclusions may apply; read your policy carefully, document everything, and be prepared to hire a lawyer).

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
