    Mel Partington was appointed general agent in place of Havenhill in 1947, over Louisa County and Jay Sellers was transferred to Washington County as general agent.

    Another coverage was added in 1948 when the Iowa Mutual Hail Insurance was added to give the members crop hail protection.

    And in May of 1948, C. E. Colglazier joined the agency as a special agent in Louisa County and in January of 1950 he was appointed as general agent of the entire county.

    By September of 1953, fire, wind and extended coverage insurance was also added, thereby giving the Farm Bureau members a complete insurance coverage written under the Iowa Mutual Hail Insurance company charter.
