Steve Hasche
Steve is a lifelong resident of Lake Preston, South Dakota, where his family has deep roots in agriculture. His great-grandfather homesteaded the family farm in 1902, and some of their land has been in the family for over a century. Steve grew up raising registered Charolais cattle and running a commercial Angus herd, in addition to farming.
In 2010, Steve started work as a crop adjuster, first for RCIS and then as a Claims Supervisor for Great American Crop Insurance in 2014. Overseeing Eastern South Dakota and parts of surrounding states, he managed a team of 30 adjusters and helped his crews out on thousands of claims throughout the years. This valuable experience gave Steve keen insights into how insurance responds to agricultural challenges. Now licensed in crop, P&C, and life insurance across 9 states, Steve's lifelong agriculture involvement makes him a valuable part of the Midwest Ag Group team.

John Hasche
In 2018, John and Steve had the opportunity to acquire a book of crop hail insurance business from a local agent in Lake Preston. They've since expanded this into multi-peril crop insurance, life insurance, and property & casualty coverage.
John started his insurance career in college crop adjusting. He did hail adjusting and production claims. He quickly became one of the go-to experts for large, complicated hail claims. John's attention to detail and strong work ethic were evident even then.
Now licensed in crop, P&C, and life insurance to over 25 states, John leverages his expertise to help clients utilize the cash value in their life insurance policies to fund their farming operations or businesses. Through daily Zoom meetings, John provides personalized guidance to ensure clients get the coverage they need.
