forming its own life insurance
company, Ronald N. Goddard,

announced.
Speaking at a press luncheon
held in connection with the 1973

Co., which writes a full line of
property and casualty insurance.
Life insurance coverage written
by other companies is offered
through Agway General Agency
Inc.
Goddard said the agency will
continue to represent other life
companies in those states in
which the new company is not yet
licensed.
Goddard termed the decision to
enter the life insurance un
derwriting field a "logical step in
a progression of insurance ser
vices that started in 1954.” In that
year, the Agway Insurance Co.
was formed to provide property
and casualty insurance
protection for Agway properties.
In 1959, a group health-life
insurance plan was developed for
Agway members. The plan, now
insuring more than 75,000 farm
people, has paid $33 million in
claims since its inception, ac
cording to Goddard.
Growth of its insurance ser
vices made it necessary for Agw
ay Insurance to find additional
space. The insurance operation
moved from the Agway corporate
headquarters building to a
separate building on Kinne Road
in DeWitt last year.
