John Tucker Harris, a prominent Lee County farmer and past president of the Lee County farm organization, sent in the first pre-insurance application. Since then, Alfa has grown to offer an excellent array of insurance coverages-including life, property and automobile -to its clients and has also become known for superior customer service. Alfa and its affiliates now provide insurance and other financial services to more than 1 million customers in multiple states.
