Farmers Protective Mutual Insurance

Mutual of Arkansas Insurance - A Legacy of Trust and Protection Since 1896

Our Humble Beginnings

Mutual of Arkansas Insurance was founded by local farmers in 1896, with the primary objective of protecting one another from loss. This commitment to mutual values is the cornerstone of our company's success. Over the years, we have evolved into a robust farm mutual aid association, dedicated to insuring farms and neighbors.

The Merger and Growth

In 2012, two companies, Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Rogers and Farmers Protective Insurance Company of Stuttgart, entered into discussions regarding the challenges of the current market environment. This led to a merger in October 2013, forming the newly established company, Farmers Protective Mutual Insurance Company. As a tribute to the legacy of both companies, FPMI continues to provide coverage for our rural partners across the state. Both locations are proud to be the oldest business in their respective home towns.

Farmers Mutual Insurance Company Rogers

In 1909, a congregation of Benton County, Arkansas residents met in the schoolhouse at Little Flock to form a farm mutual aid association. They received their charter and were formed as the Benton County Farmers Mutual Insurance Company under the Farm Mutual Aid Association provisions for insurers in Arkansas. The association met at various homes and public halls until it relocated above the old Strouds Building. The mutual moved to its present location in 1973 after new construction was completed. Over the years, the company has stayed true to its conservative principles in insuring primarily farm and rural coverages.

Farmers Protective Insurance Company Stuttgart

In 1891, several farmers met to provide mutual aid for one another by forming the Farmers Protective Aid Society of Grand Prairie. It was incorporated in 1896 into the company that would later change its name to The Farmers' Mutual Insurance Association of the Grand Prairie. In 1959, the company changed its name to Farmers Protective Insurance Company. The company had been located in an upstairs room of the Majestic Theater (now gone). By 1956, they outgrew the quarters and moved to 214 South Main, over what was then Conn Hardware. By 1968, increased business again had the office bursting at the seams. In December of 1969, it was decided to move the dwelling away and replace it with additional office space. The new section was built in 1971, doubling the floor space to 2,500 square feet. In 2014, after the merger, the office was moved to its current location in the newly renovated building at 1920 S Main Suite 102 in Madison Square, making it more accessible for the ever-expanding membership.
