The world was a very different place in 1998. Titanic swept the nation, Google was founded, the first MP3 players burst onto the scene, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire had us all asking, "is that your final answer?" 

While 1998 was a monumental year in terms of pop culture, it was even more monumental for SECURA as our home and auto package, MILE-STONE® was born. 

The annual Fine Arts Exhibition at the Trout Museum of Art in downtown Appleton showcases Wisconsin's most talented artists that make up our rich local arts community. Once again, we're proud to partner with the Trout Museum to provide free admission to the exhibition from May 4 through June 2. 

In New York City, work began on the locale’s first section of subway. In Paris, the first Olympic games that allowed women to compete took place. And, in Seymour, Wis., Julius Bubolz formed the Farmers Home Mutual Hail, Tornado & Cyclone Insurance Company.

The year was 1900, and it brought with it these exciting achievements. Why is Bubolz’s accomplishment so exciting? That insurance company became one we know well — SECURA Insurance. This Friday, March 1, our company celebrates its 119th anniversary.

Each year, we gather to honor our top agencies for their outstanding business performance at our annual Premier Agent Professional Development Conference. 

We place a high value on the relationships we have with our agents and we are proud to honor six agencies that represent the best of the best. These agencies were chosen based on their premium volume, profitability, growth and loss history with us. 

Kevin Schock's Story

Most people would probably consider someone who majored in agricultural studies and minored in agronomy at Iowa State University to be more than proficient when it comes to farm knowledge. Tack on actual firsthand farming experience, and you have a true expert.
