FARMERS INSURANCE
Keeping the Farm running is vital
Farmers have a unique work environment and, therefore, need a unique form of insurance. As a farmer, you know how unpredictable life can be. On top of the day-to-day risks of manual labour, you face the same health threats as everyone else. And you can only be as productive as your body lets you be. The everyday duties of running a farm or sharemilking business don’t stop just because you become sick, injured or worse still, die.
A well planned and thought out Personalised Farm Protection Plan can protect you from the financial consequences of a serious illness or accident or untimely death, helping to keep your farm running and in good shape for the next generation.

Rural Key Person Insurance
Unlike most businesses, a farm or sharemilking business cannot afford to stop operating in the event of a loss of a key person. The financial consequences of a disability or extended illness could be devastating for your lifestyle and those that depend on you. When you work and live in the same place, along with your family, a threat to the farming operation is also a threat to your home life.
Succession Planning
Farms are often a generational legacy where the parents build up a generational asset through the ‘family farm’. In the normal course of events the farmer works the land, educates the children and passes the farm on to the next generation ….
BUT …. what would happen if the farming parent or parents were to die unexpectedly, have a serious accident or suffer a severe illness at a youngish age which meant they could no longer work the farm?
-
Debt levels could force a mortgagee sale from the bank
-
Your stage of life could mean the farm may not be able to be passed on
-
The farm may not be in a position to afford a farm manager
-
The stage of the development of the farm could mean the children are not in a position to take over the farm financially
-
The farm may have to be sold because one or more of the children want to be ‘paid out’ instead of running the farm
