    The most exciting thing about Insurate is the benchmarking data provided - it’s going to give our producers something different to talk about and I think that being able to provide how these businesses compare to their peers is very valuable for our clients.

    In Ag, we know things happen – livestock are unpredictable. But improving engagement and data-driven understanding of risk is a different thought process and certainly an improvement. I’d always rather have more information and better information to support my customers.

    We always talk about work comp rates in the industry by that middle 60%. The bottom 20% of performers are probably getting a way better deal than they should, and the the top 20% best-in-class are not getting as good a deal as they should - so Insurate finding a way to reward those best-in-class businesses with the pricing they deserve is truly remarkable.
