Five years ago, Rokstone Agriculture set out with a clear ambition: to bring specialist expertise, innovative thinking, and a fresh approach to livestock insurance.
Today, that vision has grown into a nationwide platform supporting agricultural businesses across the United States, with USD 125 million in premium income achieved since launch and USD 38 million in GWP generated in the 12 months to June 2026.
But while the numbers tell an important part of the story, they only capture one side of the journey. Behind every milestone is a team of agricultural specialists, trusted partners, and technology designed to make specialist insurance more accessible, responsive, and aligned with the needs of a changing industry.
Built Around Specialist Expertise
From the beginning, Rokstone Agriculture’s focus has been on understanding the complexity of modern agriculture and providing solutions built around the risks agribusinesses face.
Over the past five years, the team has expanded its expertise across a diverse range of owned and non-owned livestock and equine exposures, supporting customers with specialist knowledge as the agricultural sector continues to develop.
Under the leadership of CEO Eric Conklin, we have significantly expanded the Rokstone Agriculture presence, becoming licensed in 47 US states and completing 32,500 admitted and non-admitted transactions since our first piece of business.
The team has also issued 16,750 new policies and more than doubled our broker network, with 15% of partners now placing more than USD 1 million in premium annually. For Eric, the success reflects the strength of the people behind the business. He said,
“What we have achieved is a testament to our talented team and their unique ability to continuously deliver a fresh and innovative approach.”
Growing With The Market
The agricultural sector is changing, with businesses facing increasingly complex risks that require specialist understanding and flexible solutions. Rokstone Agriculture has continued to invest in the expertise needed to meet those challenges, expanding our team to include six specialist livestock underwriters and three dedicated claims professionals.
That investment has been matched by growing support from leading capacity partners, with USD 30 million in A rated Lloyd’s capacity secured across partners including Accelerant, Convex, Professional Solutions, Canopius and AXA XL.
We also launched our in-house TPA, Verus Claims Management, LLC, combining 25 years of experience with a 24/7 claims response service and the ability to settle a loss quickly with eCheck services.
With full delegated underwriting and claims authority, Rokstone Agriculture continues to combine specialist decision-making with the financial strength required to support a broad range of agricultural risks. As Eric explains,
“Our strong and growing base of both capacity and broker partners demonstrates just how unprecedented the support for our specialist underwriting model and the diverse portfolio we bring to the world of livestock insurance really is.”
The Journey Continues
The past five years have been defined by growth, innovation, and the confidence of partners who share Rokstone Agriculture’s vision. We have continued to expand our offering, including the launch and growth of Rokstone Farm and Ranch, based in Ohio, which reached USD 15 million GWP earlier this year.
Together, these milestones demonstrate the strength of a specialist approach built around expertise, partnership, and a commitment to supporting the future of American agriculture. Reflecting on the next chapter, Eric added:
“This is a solid platform from which to further accelerate our growth trajectory in the next five years.”
