FARMER · RISK ADVISOR · CONTENT CREATOR
Helping People Manage Risk. Sharing the Story of Agriculture.
I’m Sam Riegsecker—a third-generation farmer, insurance advisor, and communicator from Northwest Ohio. My work brings together real-world farm experience, risk management, and a passion for sharing the people, decisions, and stories behind agriculture.
Different Roles. One Perspective.
My career hasn’t followed a traditional path—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I grew up around agriculture and today help operate my family’s third-generation farm in Northwest Ohio. That experience has shaped the way I approach my work as an insurance advisor, giving me firsthand perspective on the decisions, risks, and challenges that farmers face.
Along the way, my background in business, marketing, and communication has also created opportunities to share the stories of agriculture through photography, drone video, and social media.
While each role is different, they all come back to the same thing: real-world experience, practical perspective and a desire to help others better understand the industries and risks that affect them.
What I Do
Three Areas. One Real-World Perspective.
Insurance & Risk Management
Helping farmers, businesses and families better understand their risks and make informed decisions about protecting what they’ve worked hard to build.
Farming & Agriculture
As part of a third-generation family farm in Northwest Ohio, I’m actively involved in the decisions, challenges and opportunities that come with producing corn, soybeans and wheat.
Content & Storytelling
Using photography, drone video, and social media to share an authentic look at agriculture, the people involved, and the stories happening behind the scenes.
INSURANCE & RISK MANAGEMENT
Real-World Experience. Practical Perspective.
Insurance is about more than simply having a policy in place. It’s about understanding the risks you face, knowing how your coverage works, and making informed decisions before the unexpected happens.
As both a farmer and an insurance advisor, I bring firsthand experience to my conversations with clients. I understand that every operation, business, and family is different—and that the right insurance strategy starts with understanding what matters to you.
Crop Insurance
Helping farmers understand their options and manage production and revenue risk.
Farm & Agribusiness
Protecting the operations, equipment and assets that keep a business moving.
Business Insurance
Helping business owners identify and manage risks beyond agriculture.
Personal Insurance
Protection for your home, vehicles and the things that matter most.
AGRICULTURE
Farming Isn’t Just Part of My Story. It’s What I Do.
I’m part of the third generation at Maranatha Acres, a family farm in Northwest Ohio founded in 1963. Today, we grow corn, soybeans, and wheat while continuing to build on more than 60 years of family farming.
Farming gives me a firsthand understanding of the decisions, challenges, and risks that come with agriculture. It also provides an opportunity to share what happens behind the scenes—from planting and crop scouting to harvest and everything in between.

CONTENT & STORYTELLING
Sharing Agriculture From the Inside.
Some of the most meaningful opportunities I’ve had have come from simply sharing what I see and experience every day.
Through photography, drone video, and social media, I create content that gives people an authentic look at agriculture—the work, technology, challenges, and people behind it.
Much of that work happens through Maranatha Acres, where we share the day-to-day story of our family farm. I’ve also had opportunities to work on agricultural campaigns and collaborations that help connect more people with the industry.
EXPERIENCE & INVOLVEMENT
Built Through Agriculture, Business & Professional Experience.
My career has included farming, business ownership, marketing operations and insurance. Each experience has helped shape how I approach problem-solving, communication and working with people.
Today, those experiences come together through my work in agriculture, risk management and industry involvement.
