NEW ULM — The David Hirth Insurance Agency is merging with Harvey Stadick of the Stark Farmers Mutual as of Sept. 1. Together the two agencies will combine decades of experience and operation with similar ways of doing business for their clients.

Stadick has been in the insurance business for the past 21 years and has primarily written farm, home and auto insurance.

Hirth has been in insurance for 38 years and covers everything.

“If we don’t write, you don’t need it,” Hirth said.

Hirth and Stadick are both lifelong residents of New Ulm and with their deep ties to the local business community they are confident that this combination will be beneficial for all the clients. In addition, this merger will allow Stadick and his wife to take more time off to enjoy many pastimes. Stadick said this inspired the merger. By working with another agency he has more free time while providing the same level of service to his clients.

Stadick will continue his affiliation with Stark Farmers Mutual and other carriers and offices out of the David Insurance Agency at 510 N. 2nd Street.
