At our Cornerstone Insurance Group office in Columbus, we believe being part of the community means more than helping protect what matters most—it means giving back to the people and organizations that make Columbus such a great place to call home. One of our favorite traditions each summer is sponsoring Hartman Post 84 Baseball Fan Appreciation Night. For the past 11 years, we've enjoyed helping create a fun night at the ballpark by providing free Cornerstone Insurance Group T-shirts and complimentary popcorn for fans while cheering on our local team. This year's game on June 3 was one to remember, with the Columbus Seniors earning a thrilling 4–3 victory over rival Kearney. We're incredibly grateful to Hartman Post 84 for allowing us to be part of their program year after year. Supporting local youth, families, and community events is something we're proud to do because this community has supported us for so many years. When we're not at the ballpark, you'll find us right here in Columbus, helping our neighbors protect their homes, vehicles, farms, businesses, and families with insurance solutions tailored to their needs. We believe insurance is personal, and we're committed to providing the local service and trusted advice you deserve. If you're looking for an insurance team that knows Columbus, cares about this community, and is here when you need us, we'd love the opportunity to earn your business. Stop by our office, give us a call, or connect with our team—we're here to help.

The project raised $2,000 for the York Public Schools Foundation and $2,000 for York County Kids, leaving a lasting impact on the community. Graduates were recognized during a celebration on June 3 at the York Country Club, where former Nebraska Senator Greg Adams encouraged the class to continue serving and leading within their communities. We are proud of Gage for representing Cornerstone Insurance Group and for investing in the future of York through leadership and community involvement.

Pivot InsurancePivots are damaged in Nebraska nearly every year, causing high dollar losses, a great deal of extra work, and, most of the time, crop loss due to delayed irrigation. They’re likely the most durable piece of equipment on your farm, but there are times when your center pivots are up against the forces of Mother Nature. That’s why insurance is one of the most important things you can add to your irrigation system.
With the increasing cost to replace and insure pivots, Cornerstone Insurance Group is here to help you find the best coverage options. By working with one of our independent agents, you’ll have access to multiple carriers, ensuring competitive rates and coverage tailored to your specific needs—including replacement cost for older pivots. Here are some common questions growers have when evaluating pivot insurance policies:
