Founded in 1992, Brawner Insurance specializes in crop, employee benefits, Medicare, personal and commercial insurance needs. The full-service agency is located at 2605 N. Baltimore St. in Kirksville, Mo.

“We aim to continue providing the same level of protection and peace of mind that Jake Armstrong and Denise Armstrong have over the last several years,” said Brawner Insurance owner Jared Brawner. “Our agency has been rooted in the North Missouri region for more than 30 years, and this acquisition allows us to expand our geography in a familiar area.” Brawner added that “new hire Jake Bunker is a Kahoka, Mo. resident who has strong Northeast Missouri ties to help grow the agency.”
