Ag Insurance does not often cover CAFO waste or pollution liability
I have an optimistic streak that used to border on naiveté. As a young lawyer I felt that the purpose of insurance was to insure. That was the naiveté of my youth showing itself in full color. Let us please recognize that the purpose of insurance is not always to insure. A “well written” insurance policy is created to avoid insuring that which the insurance policy writer prefers not to insure.

Ken Notes: This will be tested and my guess is that the author is correct it will not be there.

If I were a county I might be asking for proof of this, just a thought.
