YUBA CITY, CA (MPG) - In a first-of-its-kind venture, Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau has acquired Fletcher & Associates Insurance Services, Inc. Located in Marysville, the insurance agency was founded over 20 years ago by Randy Fletcher, and offers a variety of commercial, farm & crop, worker’s compensation, auto, home, flood and life insurance policies.
Established in 1919, Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau’s mission is to protect and promote family farms and ranches in our region. Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau will form a new board to serve as the corporate board for the insurance agency.
“This is truly a win-win scenario. It provides an immediate benefit for our members and provides for the long-term sustainability of Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau,” said Mike Denny, Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau Vice President and the insurance agency’s newly appointed corporate Board President. “Our members will have access to personalized policies and local customer service. The profit from insurance policies will belong to the Farm Bureau membership and no longer go out of state, or to the bay area.”
“The Farm Bureau’s bottom-line suffered greatly during COVID as we could not hold our traditional fundraisers,” said Denny. “We need additional, more stable income sources to be able to provide innovative programs and services for our members. I’m proud of our local board for making this innovative venture happen.”
Fletcher has been a member of the Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau since 1979. The majority of Fletcher & Associates Insurance’s current customers are ag-based. Fletcher will continue to oversee the day-to-day operations of the agency, and serve as CEO.
“Two-plus years ago I began working with Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau discussing the possibility of this venture and I’m proud to say it’s now a reality,” said Fletcher. “With Farm Bureau, Fletcher & Associates Insurance can remain dedicated to providing peace of mind and security for all our clients for generations to come.”
