Newcom aims to serve community through local Farm Bureau insurance agency

Jeremy Newcom joined Kentucky Farm Bureau Insurance as an agent in July 2024, but his commitment to Owensboro runs much deeper.

A longtime resident, Newcom said he was inspired to join KY Farm Bureau to offer more than just insurance policies — he wanted to provide peace of mind to families and businesses across the community.

“Becoming a part of KY Farm Bureau was driven by a deep desire to make a meaningful difference in my community,” Newcom said. “I saw a need for honest, accessible, and dependable insurance services — something that goes beyond just policies and paperwork, which is exactly what KY Farm Bureau stands for.”

Newcom’s office is located at 2645 Frederica Street inside Gavin Roberts’s agency. He provides a wide range of insurance services, including auto, home, life, health, earthquake, and flood insurance.

“This office is more than a business to me; it’s a commitment to helping my neighbors secure their futures, protect what matters most, and navigate life’s uncertainties with confidence,” Newcom said.

The past year has been both busy and meaningful, he said, as he has helped clients recover from severe hail storms and other weather events that impacted the region.

“Standing by our clients and helping them walk through the claims process has been both challenging and rewarding,” Newcom said. “It’s my job to help people see the coverages they need for times such as this, then walk with them step by step until the repairs are made. It’s why I do what I do.”

Newcom moved to Owensboro in 1995 and will celebrate 30 years of marriage this summer with his wife, Kim Baughn Newcom, an assistant principal at Daviess County High School. The couple has three children: Jay, a Kentucky State Trooper; Kenlee, a former WKU soccer player now working in medical device sales; and Josie, a student-athlete at Murray State University.

When it comes to insurance, Newcom said it’s important to have a local agent who’s invested in the community and available when it matters most.

“There are many options out there,” he said. “However, when something comes up, having a local agent rooted in our community is so important. You want to have someone accessible that you can talk to personally…someone willing to take the time to answer questions and guide you through the process.”
