About Us

 Built on Trust. Backed by Generations.

Local Folks. Real Conversations. Insurance That’s Meant to Work.

We’re a small-town agency with deep roots and a no-nonsense approach. Since 1933, we’ve helped people around Hutchinson figure out what they need, skip what they don’t, and get on with their day. Our job isn’t just quoting policies—it’s helping you make decisions you can feel good about. Whether it’s your home, your business, your farm, or your future, we’re here when you need us. No scripts. No hard sells. Just real help.

 Why People Stick with Us

Not Big. Not Fancy. Just Straight Shooters Who Know Insurance.

We Keep It Personal

We don’t treat you like a number, and we don’t push canned policies. We’ll ask a few questions, listen close, and explain what makes sense—plain and simple.

We're Independent

That means you’ve got options. We work with multiple carriers so you’re not boxed into one-size-fits-all coverage.

We Know the Area

We live here too. We’ve insured everything from Main Street boutiques to farm trucks, so we understand the kinds of risks you actually deal with.

The Team You’ll Actually Talk To

When you call our office, you’ll speak with someone who knows your name—or soon will. Our team is small on purpose, so you get familiar faces and real follow-through, not hand-offs or voicemail mazes.

I was in an auto accident, totally not my fault. All was handled professionally! Wish the kid who hit had good coverage...kids, stop texting and driving! I'm glad I was covered!

Carla Smalley

I switched my insurance to, locally owned, Wade Patton after multiple issues with online insurance companies. It has been a much better experience so far!
