Since inception Ag Workers has provided Texas agriculture professionals with
quality auto insurance. We are owned by our policyholders and have paid
back over $150 million in dividends. Operating as a select-risk company
allows us to pay the highest dividends to policyholders. Since we do not
employ agents, you can deal directly with our friendly home office staff.
William C. "Brigham" Young, our founder, and
entrepreneur taught agricultural science in Slaton, Texas,
prior to forming Agricultural Workers Mutual Auto Insurance Company in
January, 1948.
Mr. Young yearned to create an insurance company owned by the
policyholders. He was supported in his efforts by founding members, T.L.
Leach and L.M. Hargrave, professors at Texas Tech University.
Dutch Hahn played an instrumental role in gathering support
from County Extensions Agents. In 1948, the year Ag Workers was born, Mr. Hahn was serving as the Washington County
Extension Agent in Brenham,
Texas. Paul Walsher and Ira Black were among other elite
agriculturists who lent support to our fledging company.
From humble beginnings with 1,000 policyholders, Ag Workers
has grown into a thriving company with over 20,000 policyholders and an
annual net written premium which exceeds $25 million.
We have expanded, but we still adhere to the principles our
founders felt were necessary for success. Our continuous efforts to
maintain a "select-risk" group of drivers on whose honesty,
integrity, and loyalty our company is built, is our secret to success.
Through hard working management and policyholders that
maintain solid driving records, we have been able to offer a dividend every
year since 1949. This dividend is not guaranteed, but the employees of Ag
Workers do all they can to ensure the highest dividend possible.
