How come I see ads and posts with people that have State Farm, and my buddy and myself are told State Farm cannot insure us with VW trikes.

Was it a State Farm Agent or just "They said"?
My wife worked for State Farm for 20 years and tells me her agent insured several VW trikes. BTW, We're in Indiana
I built two VW Trikes from scratch years ago, and got em' both insured with State Farm. I've been with State Farm since 1971 with zero claims...wish I had all the money back in one lump now....I've owned a lota' vehicles...:wtg:
Frankentrike's reference to the underwriters is probably the issue, and they may have different underwriters for different areas. I had a similar issue with another product (not a motorcycle of any sort) where my State Farm agent told me that they don't normally insure that product, but would submit it to the underwriters. After a few days, the underwriters approved it based on all the other different policies I have with them.
My Agent in Aiken SC told me that State Farm has changed their policy on insuring custom/home-built trikes and bikes. They will not insure them. Manufactured yes but not if you built it yourself. This was last summer. Geico will and they are way cheaper than Progressive.
Everything I own is insured with State Farm (Tennessee).....They insure VW Trikes here. There are several in Lynchburg that have insurance at my same Agent. Yep, Insurance is regulated by State Insurance Boards, and varies a lot State to State.....
