• February is the month of love with Valentine's Day right around the corner. Make sure that your loved ones are protected with State Farm Life Insurance.

I'm Don Knoche, your State Farm agent in Arcadia. I opened this agency on August 1,1990. It has been my pleasure to handle the insurance needs for so many Arcadians. I am married to my wife Sheila and have two children , Katherine and Donnie, We are blessed to have 6 grandchildren. I was born in Peoria, Illinois and raised on a dairy farm in Nauvoo, Illnois. I was active in the local FFA & 4-H clubs in Nauvoo and Hancock County. In 1968, I graduated from Nauvoo-Colusa High School and graduated from Northeast Missouri State College ( now Truman State University) in 1972. Upon graduation, I entered the army and served 2 years with tours in Korea and Ft Riley, Kansas. Upon completion of active duty I relocated to Arcadia & worked with Desoto County Schools for 17 Years. I'm a member of First Presbyterian Church and a member of the Desoto County Chamber of Commerce and past member of the Arcadia and Zoning Board and DMH Hospital Board.

It's been my honor to be involved with Desoto County youth sports programs as a coach and sponsor. I have recognized the athletes at Desoto High who have earned the sportsmanship awards each season. We can be very proud of our youth, as they represent our community well as they compete in the surrounding communities.

It is a pleasure to work for State Farm, meeting the needs of those we insure. I am very proud of our team. They are very happy and willing to assist you!

Desoto County is a special place and I am proud to call it home!
