OUR HISTORY

Our company was organized in 1891 as Minnesota Farmers Mutual Insurance for the purpose of writing crop and hail insurance for Minnesota farmers. In 1906, operations were broadened to include farm windstorm insurance. General fire and inland marine lines were added in 1929. Automobile and dwelling coverages were added in 1930. In the late 1970.s, the company expanded its product offerings to include homeowners and personal automobile coverages. To more accurately reflect the company.s broadened product lines and its lesser focus on the farm market, in 1983, the board of directors changed the name of the company to Midwest Family Mutual Insurance Company. In 1991, the company introduced its first commercial lines insurance products allowing the company to further broaden the products available to its independent agent sales force. In 1997, the company further diversified by adding the states of Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota to the two existing states, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
