Frequently Asked Questions

We know farm and rural insurance.

What types of coverage does farm insurance typically include?

Farm insurance generally includes coverage for buildings, machinery, livestock, crops, and liability protection. Additional coverages like business interruption and workers' compensation can also be added depending on your farm's needs.

Is crop insurance included in a standard farm insurance policy?

Crop insurance is often an optional add-on to a standard farm insurance policy. It protects against losses due to weather events, pests, and other risks that can affect crop yield and quality.

How does livestock insurance work?

What is farm liability insurance, and why do I need it?

Farm liability insurance protects you against claims of bodily injury or property damage caused by your farming operations. This is essential for covering legal costs and potential compensation if someone is injured on your property or if your activities damage another's property.

How often should I review my farm insurance policy?

It’s advisable to review your farm insurance policy annually or whenever there are significant changes in your operations, such as acquiring new equipment, expanding your farm, or starting a new agricultural venture.

What is business interruption insurance for farms?

Business interruption insurance provides financial protection if your farming operations are disrupted due to an insured event, such as a fire or natural disaster. It covers ongoing expenses and lost income during the period of interruption.

Does farm insurance cover natural disasters like floods and bushfires?

Many farm insurance policies can include coverage for natural disasters such as floods, bushfires, and storms. However, coverage can vary, so it’s important to review your policy and consider additional protections if you’re in a high-risk area.

What steps should I take after a loss event on my farm?

Immediately notify your insurance provider, document the damage with photos, and keep detailed records of all related expenses. This will help streamline the claims process and ensure you receive appropriate compensation.

Can I get coverage for my farm workers under my farm insurance policy?

Yes, farm insurance can include coverage for your workers, such as workers' compensation, which covers medical expenses and lost wages if an employee is injured on the job.
