PLANT HARVEST REPORT RELAX

OUR STORY LEE AGENCY HAS IT ROOTS IN THE AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS, SO IT S NO SURPRISE THAT TRUACRE WOULD BE ROOTED IN AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THE AG COMMUNITY. Founded as a means to support the Muscatine Mutual Insurance Company, Lee Agency was initially developed as a way to provide additional insurance coverage to farmers. The success of providing additional coverage was immediately recognized and appreciated by the farming community. As a result, Lee Agency began to grow as quickly as they could keep up. It wasn t long until one of the round-out insurance products was federal crop insurance. In the mid 1980 s, Tom Norton joined agency founder Gary Lee in order to keep up with the growing demand in the area of agriculture. This proved to be a significant hire as Tom grew up on his family farm and thus had immediate rapport with clients. By the mid-90 s, the Agency was specializing in all areas of agricultural insurance. Lee Agency continued to grow and soon became the name synonymous with crop insurance in Eastern Iowa. Over the next twenty years, Lee Agency continued it s strategic, deliberate, and sustainable growth. By 2014, the agency had developed a dedicated team of crop insurance specialists with all members having on-farm experience. However, there was one area that was lacking. Perhaps nothing within farming has changed more in the past few years than the technology associated with it. Farmers are using specified technology and the data that is produced more than ever before...in fact, EVERY area of farming has been impacted by technology in the past few years. As such, the information gathered and necessary for crop insurance has gotten more specific as well. Lee Agency saw this technology trend developing, and in 2014 founded TruAcre Technology, LLC to specifically meet the needs of the precision farming community. Expertise and Industry s Best Service A key component to TruAcre was the hiring of Jeremy Marston. Jeremy worked for John Deere as an engineer and later spent several years on the implement dealership side developing the technology in the equipment. TruAcre will allow farmers to synchronize their data and make decisions that will benefit their operation. As Jeremy and his growing team of farming professionals develop the TruAcre program, one thing remains certain: Farmers will continue to get the quality service and expertise they have come to expect from Lee Agency and now from TruAcre.
