Farmers for Independent Agents?

[sankykid]

I was under the impression that if you sold Farmers products you only sold Farmers products, but recently noticed that Farmers rates are available in comparative raters such as FSC. Anybody know why that is? Are Farmers products available to independent (non-captive) agents?

Farmers has been available to some east coast states via independent agents for a few years. As far as I know they are captive only everywhere else - midwest, west, southwest. Just some east coast & southeast states through independents.

Yes, I am in north Louisiana and Farmers is prevalent to alot of independent agents here. Their homeowner rates are pretty good.
