Josh Vickerman has been named the new President and General Manager of the Agency, replacing Rodney Allebach. “Our office staff and agents enjoy volunteering at the Maplewood location,” Josh said.  “Sorting and distributing food at Second Harvest Heartland is not only a great team building exercise, but it is also an important part of our plan to give back to our community.  Our Agency is pleased to partner with MAX Insurance® and its Agent Community Grant program to make this gift possible.”

Farmers Union Insurance Agency is an Independent Insurance Agency representing MAX Insurance® in St. Paul and throughout Minnesota.  MAX Insurance®, based in Overland Park, Kansas, is a unique fair, faithful and socially responsible insurance enterprise.  Founded on religious principles, the company’s mission is to restore wholeness to communities and individuals in need.  It lives out its mission through a variety of quality, fairly-priced insurance products, outstanding personalized customer service and its unique Mutual Aid Ministries program.
