No matter which pathway you choose, you\'ll not only receive the award-winning University of Farmers education, you\'ll also have over 85 years of Farmers Insurance experience at your beck and call with our local District Office experts, including a personalized and comprehensive training course, assistance with strategic business and marketing planning, and sales and management mentorship.
