DALLAS –
NOVEMBER 30, 2021 – Integrity
Marketing Group, LLC (“Integrity”), one of the leading independent
distributors of life, health and wealth products, today announced it
has acquired Northwest
Farmer-Stockman (“Farmer-Stockman”), an insurance distributor
and financial services provider, based in Spokane, Washington, an entity
of Cowles Company, a publishing, real estate, insurance and financial
services conglomerate. Following the acquisition, Farmer-Stockman will
become a division of Integrity partner American Independent Marketing
(“AIM”), an independent marketing organization (“IMO”) providing health
and life insurance products to the senior market. Financial terms of the
acquisition were not disclosed.
“Farmer-Stockman
combines an amazing legacy of service to the farming and ranching
community in the Northwest and Midwestern part of the United States,”
expressed Bryan W. Adams, Co-Founder and CEO of Integrity. “As part of
Integrity, Farmer-Stockman now has access to our full array of
proprietary offerings — from industry-leading technology and product
development to association with other trailblazers in our partner network.
These resources will ensure that Farmer-Stockman and its agents can
provide the right products as clients’ needs evolve. Integrity is
committed to making it easier for more Americans to protect their health
and wealth, and Farmer-Stockman will be an invaluable part of helping us
achieve that goal.”

With a presence
established nearly a century ago in rural Washington, Farmer-Stockman has
created deep relationships with ranching and agricultural families across
the American West. Farmer-Stockman consults with clients to help them
preserve the assets they’ve cultivated for a lifetime.
“As a 4th
generation family-owned company, we were impressed to see that Integrity
operates under the same values and high ethical standards that the Cowles
Company holds,” said Betsy Cowles, Chairman of Northwest Farmer-Stockman.
“Across our diverse businesses, we believe in looking toward the future
to ensure each entity achieves its goals. For Farmer-Stockman, that meant
finding the right partner with the additional resources and diversified
product offering that Integrity provides. I can’t think of a better
organization to pass the reins to, and we look forward to
Farmer-Stockman’s next century of growth serving American families as
part of Integrity.”
Farmer-Stockman can
scale its reach by leveraging the proprietary Integrity platform with
resources that include CRM, quoting and enrollment tools, data and
analytics, product development and MedicareCENTER. Becoming an Integrity
partner also entitles Farmer-Stockman to utilize Integrity’s centralized business
services, which include accounting, legal, compliance, IT and access to a
world-class advertising and marketing firm.
“This partnership opens
up an entirely new era for Farmer-Stockman,” said Michelle Musgrave,
Manager of Northwest Farmer-Stockman. “We bring well-informed advisors
who understand the strengths and challenges of rural American families.
Now, we can reach more of those families with greater resources to plan
for their unique concerns and preserve their life’s work. By integrating
with AIM and becoming part of Integrity, we can maintain the family
atmosphere and loyalty to our team that has been so important to us over
the years. The future has never been more exciting for
Farmer-Stockman.”
“AIM has had a close
working relationship with Farmer-Stockman for more than 25 years and we
are incredibly honored to lead Farmer-Stockman’s transition into becoming
an Integrity partner,” said David Wane, President of AIM and Managing
Partner at Integrity. “Using the Integrity platform, we have the
opportunity to transform our business together. Farmer-Stockman’s team of
dedicated, capable professionals combined with the research capabilities
and deep resources Integrity offers will provide a runway for us to
experience even more success. We are excited about this next iteration of
AIM and eagerly welcome the Farmer-Stockman team to Integrity.”
Farmer-Stockman provides
valuable perspective to Integrity’s rapidly expanding network of
partners. These industry-leading organizations collaborate to create
strategies and find solutions that streamline the insurance process for
the American consumer.
As part of Integrity,
Farmer-Stockman can now offer its employees meaningful company ownership
through the Integrity
Employee Ownership Plan.
