[QUOTE="PAaugus, post: 1286712, member: 24323"] The plot thickens: The Lancaster Farming Newspaper printed a story of my plight on Oct 10 2015. In the story, the owner Mr Jeff Craig led the reporter to believe that he had insurance thru LMA. But,Thanks to one of posters here that suggested I contact LMA things are getting interesting. What Mr Craig didn't know was LMA sent me an email stating Greencastle Livestock Market did not have a livestock policy with them. After the story printed , I contacted LFN and sent them a copy. The reporter did some fact finding and Mr Craig said he self insures. He made the statement that he runs the program on his own. He also said: " Not everybody in this industry has something like this" See Follow up story in LFN Oct17 th issue. It appears he has been doing this for several years and he is not licensed to sell insurance in PA. So it appears Mr Craig has been selling his own insurance in house, he decided what animals were covered, he made the statement that he charges insurance on all animals sold at the sale barn. BUT only covers healty animals. I guess my gut feeling something wasn't right was correct. So farmers have been paying for a product that they didn't get anything for it. Maybe he facings a Fine from the Pa Insurnace Dept ? Class action lawsuit. Hopefully the staff writer or some agency will do some more digging. I find it hard to believe this man is paying to bury 200 animals per year. There may be more hidden here. [/QUOTE]
