State Farm insures more cars and homes than any other insurer in the U.S. and is ranked No. 36 on the Fortune 500 list of largest companies. State Farm has about 19,000 agents across the country and handles close to 39,000 claims a day. It was the company’s founder who said, “Honesty isn’t the best policy — it is the only policy.”
