Company History
On October 9, 1894 a group of local farmers met for the purpose of adopting a constitution and bylaws for organizing a fire insurance company. The name adopted was Farmers Fire and Lightning Mutual Insurance Company of Macon County, MO.
The first problem faced was getting $50,000 insurance in force to complete the requirements of chartering. On May 15, 1895, this qualification was met and the company began issuing policies.
The first annual meeting of the company was held November 16, 1895.
About the same time the Fire Company was getting started, thirteen (13) farmers, on June 10, 1899, organized the windstorm company. The first name selected was Farmers Mutual Cyclone, Tornado, and Windstorm Insurance Company of the First Congressional District of Missouri.
In November 1954 the Boards of the fire and wind companies met to consider a cooperative policy. At the annual meeting on February 2, 1957 the two companies merged, retaining the Directors of both companies and doing business as Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Macon.
