Our Start.
1947
As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we reflect on what made Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company of Idaho what it is today. We began with a dream to address the insurance needs of people in Idaho, and a belief that neighbors should help neighbors. Today, we remain committed to these values and the culture of caring they have inspired.
We look back with pride on what has been accomplished over the years: We are one of the state’s leading auto insurers, the second largest writer of all insurance lines in Idaho, the largest writer of farm and ranch insurance in Idaho, and the largest property and casualty insurance company based solely in Idaho.
