This manual section is used to write Farmowners policies and Farm Fire policies. A few parts of this section do not apply to both Farmowners and Farm Fire. These parts indicate if they apply to Farmowners or Farm Fire. The Farmowners policy is primarily for owner-occupied farms and provides both property and liability coverages. The Farm Fire policy is primarily for non-owner occupied farms (although owner occupied farms may be written) and provides only property coverage.
FARMOWNERS PACKAGE POLICY PROGRAM
The Farmowners Package Policy program has been designed to fill the property and liability coverage needs of both the Farmer and the Rancher. Farm “Package Policies” are not alike! The North Star Farmowners has several strong points summarized as follows:
1. The entire policy is on an “easy read” or simplified language policy basis. This makes everything much easier to read and to understand.
2. Personal property is automatically insured to 60% of the dwelling coverage (75% on Farm Dwelling Plus). Personal property usually at a residence other than the insured premises is limited to the greater of 10% of the Coverage C limit or $1,000.
3. Additional living cost is covered for actual loss sustained in 12 months with no dollar limit. 4. $500 Fire Department Service Charge coverage is included in base policy without additional charge. 5. Coverage for death of livestock (excluding sheep) by collapse of buildings, accidental shooting, drowning and
attack by dogs or wild animals is included without additional charge (when Basic Perils applies). 6. Provides Borrowed, Rented or Leased Farm Machinery and Equipment coverage up to $10,000 at no additional
charge for Basic Perils. 7. The “Damage to Property of Others” coverage in the Farm Liability is included up to $1,000 and includes
damage done by animals and damage to farm machinery in the insured’s care, all without additional premium charge. Limits higher than $1,000 may be purchased (up to $10,000 limit).
8. Liability coverage for outboard motors 50 HP or less is automatically included without additional charge. 9. Fire, smoke or explosion legal liability coverage is automatically provided for damage to farm dwellings or
outbuildings the insured uses or rents for up to the Farm Liability limits, without additional charge. 10. Farm Employee coverage for part time farm employees working 40 days or less per year is automatically
included at no additional charge. A charge must be made for each farm employee that works (a) over 40 days, but less than 180 days per year; or (b) 180 days per year or more.
11. Limited Farm Pollution and Clean Up Coverage is provided - $10,000 (aggregate limit) for a discharge, dispersal, seepage, migration, spill, release or escape of agricultural chemicals, liquids and gases that occurs quickly and abruptly and is accidental. Optional aggregate limits of $25,000 or $50,000 may be purchased.
12. $100,000 (aggregate limit) for property damage caused by accidental spray drift of agricultural chemicals applied on the insured premises is also provided.
FARM FIRE POLICY PROGRAM
The Farm Fire Policy program has been designed to fill the property coverage needs of both the Farmer and the Rancher.
Only farm properties are eligible. This could include small acreages not eligible for Homeowners or Mobile Homeowners policies or farms that do not meet the eligibility requirements of the Farmowners. Vacant, unused farm properties are not eligible. The North Star Farm Fire policy has several strong points summarized as follows:
1. The entire policy is on an "easy read" or simplified language policy basis. This makes everything much easier to read and to understand.
2. $500 Fire Department Service Charge coverage is included in base policy without additional charge. 3. Coverage for death of livestock (excluding sheep) by collapse of buildings, accidental shooting, drowning and
attack by dogs or wild animals is included without additional charge (When Basic Perils applies). 4. Provides Borrowed, Rented or Leased Farm Machinery and Equipment coverage up to $10,000 at no additional
charge for Basic Perils.
The rates in this manual section include the Farmowners Package discount. Add 15% to the rates for a Farm Fire Policy which is not eligible for the package discount.

DEDUCTIBLES - PROPERTY COVERAGE
A flat $1,000 deductible applies (unless an optional deductible is written) to all property losses in all property forms except:
1. the Incidental Property Coverages provided for Emergency Removal, Fire Department Service Charge, Credit Card, Electronic Fund Transfer Card Or Access Device, Forgery, and Counterfeit Money;
2. an optional property coverage that states a specific deductible is applicable; 3. an optional property coverage that states a deductible does not apply; or 4. an Inland Marine form. Inland Marine forms have their own deductible. See the Inland Marine Manual Section.
The deductible amount is subtracted only once per occurrence regardless of the number of covered items affected.
The policy may be issued with a single deductible amount that applies to all perils and all coverages that are subject to the deductible provision. Multiply the premiums by the appropriate factor in the Optional Deductible chart below.
Split Deductible Option
The policy may be issued with a split deductible. This means the deductible option selected for property covered under Coverages A, C and D differs from that selected for property covered under Coverages E, F, and G. When an occurrence affects 2 or more items with different deductible amounts, only the highest deductible applies. Multiply the premiums by the appropriate factor in the Optional Deductible chart below.
Common Loss Deductible
In the event that a covered loss occurs as a result of one occurrence to property covered under more than one policy insured with North Star Mutual, only the highest applicable deductible will apply, regardless of the number of covered property items damaged or destroyed. This provision will not apply: 1. to property rented to others for a fee when that property is insured on a separate policy than the insured’s
owner-occupied property, 2. if the total loss is less than the highest deductible, or 3. if it is in the insured’s benefit that separate deductibles be applied.

ROOF SURFACE REPLACEMENT COST FACTOR
As roof surfaces age they become more susceptible to damage by windstorm and hail. To maintain replacement cost coverage, a charge will be made on dwellings with asphalt shingles or Class 4 impact resistant asphalt roof surface 16 years old and older. For steel or asphalt roofs under 5 years old or Class 4 impact resistant asphalt roof surfaces under 14 years old, a credit will be applied. No combinations of discounts will be allowed. Asphalt or steel roof categories cannot also qualify for the Class 4 discount.
To qualify, impact resistant asphalt roof surfaces need to have earned an impact rating of Class 4 from Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Standard 2218. The impact resistant asphalt roof surface must cover the entire roof surface, be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications, and not be overlaid onto an existing roof surface. The insured must provide appropriate documentation showing the type of roof surface, the date of installation, and the UL Class Rating.
The roof surface age is determined by the difference between the current calendar year and the year the roof surface was installed. For example, calendar year is 2012 and the roof surface was installed in 1995, the roof surface age would be 17 years. When a dwelling has multiple roof surface ages the oldest roof surface age will be used to determine the applicable factor.

The amount of coverage for this is shown on the Declarations. The amount of coverage can be increased by applying the rate from the rate page to the amount of the increase.
Special Form – When special form is written for this coverage, a premium must be charged for the $10,000 coverage that is included [(Special Rate – Basic Rate) x (10,000/100)].

Examples:
Assume the $1,000 deductible rates for this coverage are Basic Perils - $0.28 and Special Form - $0.42.
To add Special Form to the $10,000 included, the premium calculation is [($0.42 -$ .28) X ($10,000/$100)] = $14.00.
To add Special Form and increase the coverage to a total of $18,000, the premium calculation is [($0.42 - $0.28) X ($10,000/$100)] = $14.00 plus ($0.42 X $8,000/$100)] = $34.00 for a total charge of $48.00.
