Burnet County is the heart of the Texas Hill Country, and agriculture is woven into the fabric of the region. Cattle ranches, goat and sheep operations, horse properties, and working farms stretch across the rolling hills and cedar breaks of Burnet County, and the landowners who run them need insurance coverage that is built for the unique exposures of Hill Country agricultural operations. Silva and Sons Insurance Services provides farm and ranch insurance for agricultural landowners in Burnet and throughout Burnet County.
Burnet County ranches face a distinctive set of weather and environmental risks. Extended drought is a recurring challenge throughout the Texas Hill Country, and wildfire is a serious threat during dry periods — the cedar-covered terrain of Burnet County can carry fire rapidly across large areas. Severe hailstorms and high winds are also common, and flash flooding along the Colorado River and its tributaries can affect agricultural properties throughout the county. A farm and ranch insurance policy covers your dwelling, barns, equipment, livestock, stored crops, and farm liability in a single coordinated program designed for Hill Country agricultural operations.
Burnet County is well known for its cattle and goat operations, and livestock coverage is a critical component of any farm and ranch program in the area. The Highland Lakes — Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake, Lake LBJ, and others — also make Burnet County a popular destination for agritourism, hunting leases, and outdoor recreation. If your property hosts hunting leases, farm tours, or other visitors, agritourism liability coverage is an essential part of your insurance program. Texas has an agritourism statute that provides some protections, but it does not eliminate all liability exposure.
