About Company

On May 1, 1947, a group of Idaho farmers and ranchers founded Idaho Farm Insurance Company that later became Farm Bureau Insurance Company of Idaho. This company was grounded in the belief that neighbors should help neighbors. Because of this, Farm Bureau Insurance has built a customer-centered culture that has helped us grow stronger through decades of change.

In our humble beginnings, we offered only auto insurance from our Pocatello office. Subsequent generations of employees and agents, guided by the founders’ beliefs, built the company into what it is today: the largest writer of farm and ranch insurance in Idaho, and the largest insurance company wholly based in Idaho.

In 2024, the company partnered with the Washington Farm Bureau Federation to offer insurance products in the state of Washington.
