Markel Withdraws Farm Package Program in Oregon

Markel Insurance Company, part of Markel Corporation, has filed to withdraw its Markel Farm Package Program in Oregon, effective January 1, 2026, for both new and renewal business. The filing, covering forms, rates, and rules, formally closes the program to new business and includes a Sample Notice of Nonrenewal for existing policyholders.

As of September 9, 2025, the program had 26 active policies representing $199,885 in total written premium across the state. The move follows a strategic review of Markel’s agricultural portfolio, with the company citing a focus on streamlining its specialty offerings and exiting low-volume product lines.

The withdrawal affects Markel’s Commercial Farm and Ranch coverage, a niche segment within its broader commercial package portfolio.
