Company History
Austin Mutual Insurance Company's origins date back to 1896 when a group of local farmers and townspeople in Austin, Minnesota, organized the Farmers United Township Mutual Hail Association of Minnesota in order to provide crop hail and, later, farm windstorm insurance at the lowest possible cost. In 1917 our name was changed to the Austin Mutual Insurance Company. Throughout the years we have changed, but our core values have not.
