Agent Joe McCollum: A True Partner in Farm Protection
At Farmers Union Agency, our agents are more than just insurance advisors, they are trusted partners who understand the unique challenges of farming communities. Few embody this better than Agent Joe McCollum.
Joe grew up in the insurance world, learning firsthand from his father, David McCollum, who dedicated over 40 years to serving farmers through Farmers Union Agency. Alongside that legacy, Joe also worked on his own family farm, specializing in crop production. This combination of hands-on experience and industry knowledge means Joe doesn’t just understand farming, he lives it.
That expertise has made a difference in countless situations. When a hog farm suffered a devastating fire that destroyed a structure and claimed 6,000 hogs, Joe was there on the scene, providing both support and reassurance in a moment of crisis. A year later, when a tornado hit the same farm, Joe once again stepped in to guide them through the process of replacing lost hogs and rebuilding a barn. Thanks to Joe’s guidance and their coverage, the family was able to recover without major setbacks.
Joe’s dedication extends beyond emergencies. A 20-acre grain farm recently transitioned from another agency to work with Joe. After carefully reviewing their policy, he was able to rewrite it to ensure broader coverage and better protection for their operation.
Stories like these reflect why Agent Joe McCollum is such an asset to the Farmers Union Agency team. He combines deep agricultural roots, an unmatched understanding of farm operations, and a commitment to standing by his clients when they need it most. For Joe, it’s not just about insurance. It’s about relationships, trust, and helping farmers protect what they’ve worked so hard to build.
