Evidence summary¶
| Field | Content |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Short extension bulletin framing five risk categories, agent selection, and coverage families (liability, physical damage, product liability) with agritourism called out as often needing commercial liability vs general farm liability. |
| Authority mix | Land-grant extension publication (high for education; not a contract of insurance). |
| Decision relevance | Question list for insurance agents; distinguishes general farm liability vs commercial business liability for non-typical-farm activities; emphasizes reading the policy and matching carrier appetite for agriculture. |

Key claims (from extract; public-safe):
- Liability products should match acreage owned/rented and enterprise type (production vs agritourism).
- Product liability may matter for direct sales / on-farm consumption contexts; some buyers may require proof of coverage.
Open questions / follow-ups
- Pair with carrier-specific endorsements for on-farm processing, events, and off-farm product delivery when those phases activate.
