A Missouri farm mutual that teetered on the brink of insolvency after the Joplin tornado in 2011 is now back on solid ground, says the state's insurance department.
Barton County Mutual Insurance Co. has been released from the control of the Missouri Department of Insurance.
"Through an innovative arrangement with the Missouri Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association, long with significant underwriting and management changes overseen by the department, Barton is now poised for a long and prosperous future," says John M. Huff, director, in a statement.
