The CertWatch dashboard tracking certificates of insurance for farm contractors and equipment lessors

Seasonal vendors are the hardest COIs to keep current

A lot of the outside labor and equipment on an ag operation isn't year-round — custom harvesters show up for a few weeks, equipment lessors rotate machines in and out, labor contractors bring crews on for a season and disappear until next year. That makes it easy for a certificate to lapse between visits without anyone noticing, right up until an accident happens or your own liability or workers' comp carrier asks for proof during a renewal or audit.

If an uninsured contractor is hurt or causes damage on your land and you don't have a current certificate of insurance on file, that exposure can land on your policy instead of theirs — the same way it does for a general contractor with an uninsured sub. Tracking it by memory or a notebook works fine until the season gets busy, which is exactly when it stops working.

Who farm operations track with CertWatch

If they're on your land with their own crew or equipment, you probably want their coverage on file.

Custom harvesters

Track their GL and equipment coverage before they roll onto your fields each season.

Equipment lessors

Confirm leased equipment and operators are covered without digging through last year's paperwork.

Seasonal labor contractors

Workers' comp certificates for contracted crews, tracked the same way whether they're on for a week or a season.

Haulers & other vendors

Any outside vendor whose insurance status your own carrier could ask about during an audit.

Workers’ comp certificates that actually hold up

Most ag contractors carry workers' comp and nothing else, and that's usually exactly what you need — so CertWatch lets you require just that, rather than flagging every crew for liability cover they were never going to have. We read the coverage lines off the certificate, check the limits against what you set, and confirm the certificate is actually made out to your operation and not a previous client's.

How it works

Add your vendors and contractors

Enter each one's name, their insurance agent's email, and the current policy renewal date — even for vendors who only show up once a year.

We email their agent automatically

As the renewal date approaches, CertWatch emails the agent asking for an updated certificate — and keeps following up if it passes without a response, so it's handled before the next season starts.
