Livestock Farm Insurance covers / can include:
|
|
- Livestock are automatically insured on any land in your ownership or occupation. You do not need to inform us every time that you take on some extra grass keep.
- Retailing of meat from your livestock can be included in your policy.
- Standard public and products liability cover with a £5 000 000 limit.
- Agricultural Contracting can be included in your policy at no extra charge.
- Livestock disease cover can be incorporated i.e. against foot and mouth, brucellosis, TB etc – although the economics of some of the disease cover requires close scrutiny.
- A single policy – another advantage of the cover offered by us is that we can underwrite all of your insurable risks on a single policy to include; vehicle fleet, farm buildings, livestock, farm property, loss of income, liabilities, personal accident, houses and contents etc – greatly simplifying the paperwork involved and in turn reducing your premium cost.
- Our policies can include cover for your inputs (seed, feed, fertiliser and chemicals) without limit on value as part of the cover on your loss of livestock income at no extra cost. With input costs rocketing this is of great value.
- High value livestock, such as pedigree bulls and cows, can be insured individually against death and loss of use. Breeders Guarantee and Luck Penny cover is also available.
- Cover on all vehicles is on a fleet basis, this means that you are automatically covered as soon as you take delivery of an additional vehicle, no cover note is required although you must inform us.
- Setting correct re-build values for farm buildings is notoriously difficult, we will help and advise regarding this.
