John Beaudean is the newest Farmers Insurance agent in the Cape Girardeau and Jackson region. Tom Kelsey, commercial broker with Lorimont, L.C., who handled the lease transaction, announced John had located his insurance office at 5785 Highway 61 in the Fruitland/Jackson area. Kelsey said the recently constructed multiple tenant shopping center is located next to the Dollar General Store and also contains a Subway restaurant.

The insurance office has now opened at that location and offers Farmers' complete line of products including home, automobile, commercial, and life insurance. Agents also are authorized to provide financial services and products to their customers such as mutual funds and annuities. Farmers started business in 1928 and serves more than 10 million households with more than 19 million individual policies across all 50 states through the efforts of over 48,000 exclusive and independent agents and nearly 21,000 employees.
