Investing in Agriculture
Wyoming residents rarely link the life insurance business to livestock, hay, barley, wheat, sugar beets and wool. But they should. Life insurers strongly support agriculture in the state. With agricultural mortgage loans totaling $79 million that have been issued to farmers in Sheridan, Gillette, Casper, Riverton and more, life insurers are aiding a major industry in the Equality State.

Investing in Retail
Mining, tourism and agriculture power Wyoming’s economy. But retail plays an essential role as well. It accounts for 22 percent of jobs in the state, according to the National Retail Federation. And life insurer investments totaling $38 million in retail mortgages in the state support many of these 88,000 jobs.
