Farm Bureau (MI)

Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company of Michigan (NAIC 63096) is part of the Michigan Farm Bureau Family of Companies, offering life insurance protection in a state where agriculture and small business have long shaped local financial priorities. Michigan Farm Bureau Insurance describes life insurance as a tool for protecting families and businesses, reflecting a mission-driven approach tied to member and community needs rather than purely national scale.

Public rating-agency materials provide a governance and financial-strength snapshot of the organization.

The carrier's story is also influenced by the operating environment. In its 2024 annual report, Farm Bureau notes one of the most difficult insurance markets in decades, citing storms, inflation, and broader cost pressures that have challenged insurers and their ratings. [3] For a life insurer, that kind of macro volatility shows up in investment yields, credit spreads, and consumer purchasing behavior. The opportunity, historically, has been to pair local distribution and service with steady balance-sheet management so long-duration promises remain credible across economic cycles. Specific material reinsurance relationships, if any, are not described in the public-facing sources reviewed here and are typically documented in statutory statements and rating-agency analysis.
