New Policies

AAIS Develops Agricultural General Liability ProgramThe American Assn. of Insurance Services (AAIS) will initiate a countrywide filing of its new Agricultural General Liability Program.The program includes two base forms. The Farm Commercial Liability Form limits coverage to farming and certain related operations, but allows coverage for additional exposures to be added by endorsement or dec page entry. The Agribusiness Commercial General Liability Form functions like a traditional CGL policy in automatically providing coverage for all operations of an insured, except those explicitly excluded.Both forms include a built-in coverage for farm chemicals limited liability, plus an option to provide personal liability coverage by endorsement, among other options. Both forms also include an up-to-date series of exclusions, including exclusions unique to agriculture that address liability from certain logging or lumbering operations, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act and animal diseases. The two forms differ in their approaches to “agritainment” and custom farming.The Farm Commercial Liability Form excludes coverage for educational and recreational activities undertaken for compensation, but coverage can be added by identifying such activities on the declarations. Under the Agribusiness Commercial General Liability Form, there is no restriction of coverage for such activities, but coverage can be excluded by endorsement.The program includes a manual with rules, agricultural rating classifications and loss cost rating information.For more information, visit www.AAISonline.com.
