About Us

Farming is More Than a Business—It’s Your Legacy

Harvest Shield Insurance was born out of a desire to do more than just push paper. It began with a realization that Minnesota farmers needed an advocate who understood the nuances of modern agriculture—someone who could translate complex policy language into real-world farm logic.

Our Mission

To empower producers with the knowledge and tools they need to secure their financial future.

When the storm hits, we answer the phone. When the markets dive, we have a plan already in place.

Meet Your Agent: From Town Girl to Farm Partner

My name is Mandy, and I am proud to be your partner in agriculture.

Fifteen years ago, I was a "town girl" who fell in love with a farmer. Since then, I have fallen just as hard for the agricultural community. I married my husband, Justin, and together we manage our family farm in Belgrade, MN, in Northern Kandiyohi County.

I don't just sit behind a desk quoting policies; I understand the "chores" because I do them, too.

  • Deep Roots: Our farm has been in the family for over 150 years.
  • Active Producers: We grow corn, soybeans, and canning crops.
  • Livestock Experience: We raise cow/calf pairs and finish steers.

This firsthand experience equips me with a unique skill set. I know how tight margins can get because I see them on our own balance sheet. I feel honored to work alongside producers like you to find appropriate policies that protect your hard work. I enjoy networking at conferences and hearing what you are learning on your farm so I can better serve our community.
