Doug Bacon has been an insurance agent for most of his adult life. When he retires from Farm Bureau Insurance and Financial Services in Humboldt this month, it marks the end of a 37-year and 2-month career with the organization, helping families and customers, some of the same ones Doug grew up with.
Doug’s longtime partner in the agency, Kent Mueller, has had a parallel path.
