Farmers Union Insurance is known for our fairness, rural values, personalized service and long-standing relationships.  I am proud and grateful to be an independent agent that represents Farmers Union Insurance.

I was raised on a farm south of Revillo, South Dakota, where the value of hard work was instilled in me by my parents.  I have had the pleasure to live and work in Brookings, S.D., over the past 8 years along with my husband and two children.  I am able to insure what matters most to you through home, auto, health, life, and commercial insurance needs.  Farmers Union Insurance is truly “Insuring a Brighter Tomorrow.”

 I am a farmer at heart. Growing up on the family farm in Carthage, SD and working with my dad and  grandpa are some of the greatest memories I have. I still get a chance to get dirty once in a while when I go home to help my dad even today.

I was with Wells Fargo for five years working with farm families every day on their finances and crop insurance.  In 2005 I was given an opportunity to go into the insurance business with my uncle Leroy Person and his son Troy Person in their family-owned agency. It was such a great opportunity as I had the opportunity to learn from Leroy who had more than 17 years in the business and was also a retired teacher.   

I’m married to Jessica and we have two children.  Helping my customers and giving them the service they deserve are what I like most about being an agent.

I grew up in a Farmers Union Insurance family and experienced firsthand how hard work, service, and dedication makes an enormous impact on the community. While my wife and I have only called Mitchell home for last few years, we are incredibly excited to begin serving the community and creating a positive impact.

As a Farmers Union Insurance agent, I have the ability to work with multiple companies to offer great rates with a wide range of coverages. This gives me the ability to find the best company for each client’s unique situation and avoid hassle of sorting through quotes from multiple agents.        

I also am committed to reviewing coverages yearly because frankly, things change. Whether it is adding a teen driver, the ever-changing value on your home or even adding more liability coverage, no change too small. This gives you peace of mind knowing I will always look out for your best interests.  

Some people might think that since it is Farmers Union Insurance that our agencies only work with farmers, but that is not the case. I can work with anyone and find the coverage you need. Not only do I offer auto and home policies, but also life, renters, commercial, and health insurance. This agency is a one-stop shop for all your insurance needs. On top of all that, I am always available when you have questions or concerns. Do not hesitate to call if anything comes up.

Born and raised in Winner, South Dakota, I had the privilege of growing up in a rural area with a variety of unique experiences. After playing basketball at South Dakota State, I coached at Northern State and the University of North Dakota. Living in Winner, Brookings, Aberdeen, and Grand Forks has given me the opportunity to connect with many great people in the Midwest.

I take great pride in developing relationships and am ready to build new connections in this region. Stop in the office or contact me at any time and I will gladly help fulfill your coverage needs.

“We are excited to have Blake and Craig, career agents, and Ronette, licensed CSR, of the Guymon Agency, join Farmers Union Insurance. Their push towards excellent customer service and loyalty is something that we look for in an insurance agency”, said Kevin Ressler, Chief Sales, Marketing, and Brand Officer.     

In 1985, Earl & Craig (father/son) formed the Guymon Agency. They initially offered all lines of insurance, but as customer commitments increased, they narrowed their target market focus to farm, home, and auto insurance.     

For more than three decades, they have provided reliable, timely, and convenient insurance services to the Mitchell and Platte areas of South Dakota.     

The Guymons have said, “As Farmers Union Insurance agents, we have the opportunity to represent many national and regional insurance companies that allows them to provide more choices to their customers.”     

For more information, go to fumic.com or contact the Guymon Agency at their office number, 605-996-7132. More in-detail contact information is below.
