1 FARM UMBRELLA Program Description This program contains the rules and rates governing the writing of Farm Umbrella Liability Policies.

Scope of Coverage This policy will pay, on behalf of the insured, the ultimate net loss in excess of the retained limit which the insured shall become legally obligated to pay as damages because of Personal Injury or Property Damage. Retained limit is the limit on other policies that the insured is required to carry, or the Self-Insured Retention (Deductible), for those exposures where primary coverage is not required. Ultimate net loss is the amount actually paid in settlement of satisfaction for a loss in which the insured is liable.
