Farm insurance provides financial protection against the everyday risks you face as a farmer, from destroyed crops and property damage to liability claims.
Farm insurance typically covers the following:
Many farm insurance policies also come with a few add-ons. These can include cover for:
Business Interruption. If something happens and you need to temporarily stop work on your farm, this can pay you lost income.
Transit. Cover for goods and items while in transit.
Machinery breakdown. If a piece of farm machinery breaks, this can cover repair costs.
Tax audit. This can cover the professional fees associated with hiring an accountant to assist you if you are audited.
Equine and stud stock. This can cover you if your stock dies by accident, illness or disease.
Personal accident. If you hurt yourself and need to take time off working, this can compensate you for the lost income.
You know your farm better than anyone else. Sometimes, it can be helpful to chat with an insurance broker who can tailor the quote to your needs. If you know exactly what you're looking for though, buying a policy online can be quicker.
