Boy they seem to say that to everybody. And it is so illogical and stupid too. Must be a script from the Main main office. Farm Bureau Idaho told me exactly the same thing when my garage collapsed after a brutal winter with tons of snow fall.
It was like a part time job dealing with them as my demolished garage stayed on site in dangerous situations for the eight months + that it took for them to finally fund it for a rebuild.
One helpful person was a Code Enforcement officer for our city. He got quite offended at the notion that our garage was not a garage only in the eyes of the insurance people. I used him as a reference along with many contractors whom I had come out for an estimate. EVERYBODY considered the structure to be a garage but the insurance people. (of course since it was one).
They encouraged a dangerous condition to exist on my property for almost three full seasons. I had never had a claim of any kind before on any of my insurance policies before in 35 years of home/vehicle/business insurance so I was very shocked by the bizarre, disrespectful and rude behaviors I experienced with Farm Bureau Idaho.
yet some people get a check without an adjuster even coming out-that winter took out a lot of barns, roofs, garages, chimneys and some got taken care of normally and immediately and a lot like me it took them so long to get honest and deal that a lot of my property got ruined in the wait for a garage with a roof on it.

What you found was a dishonest adjuster. Your garage is indeed covered under your policy of insurance. Apparenlty he wasn't interested in dealing with this size of a loss. Easier to blow you off then to deal with your claim. Call Farm Bureau's home office and request a supervisor. Explain your situation and you should see results.
