General Service Agency’s History

General Service Agency was founded in 1964 to serve the Phelps County Area. Dick purchased the agency in 1978. In 1982 he expanded the agency by signing on as one of the first agents in Nebraska to represent the Federal Crop Insurance program. The McClelland Insurance Agency was founded in 1964 to serve the Beaver City and Furnas County area. General Service Agency purchased the McClelland Agency in 2005. Today, our Independent Insurance Agent status allows us to represent pick of the litter companies from today’s insurance industry.

Our knowledge and experience in crop insurance, ag-related commercial business and health insurance, continues to keep us on the leading edge of the industry. Our association with professionals from The Independent Insurance Agents (IIA) keeps our quest for knowledge and understanding alive. Our middle name “Service” brings our customers back – with their friends.

Our faith in God gives us the strength to face tomorrow.

General Service Agency’s Staff

My insurance career began at General Service Agency in January of 1998. Growing up on a farm in Nebraska taught me the value of hard work and the importance of doing things right the first time. Diversity in commodities kept our family going through tough times. This agency is a lot like our farm: Strive to do things right the first time, and offer diversity in products and companies to protect our clients and friends. Weather or something you can’t anticipate may take away what you’ve worked hard for. I can’t predict the future, but I like to educating clients so they make informed decisions on coverage that fits their budget and risk tolerance.

Dick:
I purchased GSA in April of 1978. My years of insurance experience helping clients analyze their insurance risk. Risk management is essential to farmers. Having the ability to analyze coverage based on individual needs is what I enjoy the most.
Judy:
I married Dick and joined the GSA staff in 1995 as an agent and office manager. I enjoy walking through insurance challenges, but the most important thing to me is the people. Some clients have become dear friends to me, almost like a second family.
