For example, the cost of rebuilding a period-type residence will be greater than the cost of rebuilding a modern bungalow and the sum insured should reflect the same.

What risks impact the cost?

  • House being unoccupied
  • Previous claims
  • Year of build of the House

Environmental Liability

Environmental Liability protects against costs associated with gradual environmental damage and pollution, including own land and third party clean-up costs.

   

Employers’ Liability

Every farmer should have employers’ liability cover.

This cover provides protection for the farmer against legal liability for injury or disease caused to employees in the course of their farming duties. The calculation of this premium is based on the wages paid by the farmer to employees.

Remember, you should include family members’ wages, such as a daughter or son farming at home on a full time or part time basis. This is also the case for voluntary helpers. You’ll need to declare extra activities, such as Agri Contracting, to the Insurer as well.

Personal Accident

Farmers very often have everything covered with their farm insurance except themselves! However, it should be an essential part of your insurance plan.

How will the farm continue to operate if the farmer breaks a leg or injures / incapacitates themselves, particularly during busy times on the farm? The cost incurred in hiring someone to run the farm for a few months can be substantial. However, building good Personal Accident cover into the Farm policy can cover these expenses, hassle-free.

Personal Accident cover operates 24 hours a day, is not restricted to farm accidents, and you can even extend it to cover sporting accidents. We also include Capital Benefits in the event of death or permanent incapacity.
