We understand that there are endless ways that your operation differs from others in your industry, and we have decades of experience working alongside rural clients - so we know what it takes to succeed in what can be a challenging business environment. We take the time to walk the farm, understand every aspect of your business, and make sure the cover we recommend is right for you, down to the last fencepost.
Talk to a rural brokerAgriCover+ is the first and only rural insurance package of its kind in New Zealand. It’s designed to go above and beyond standard offerings to strengthen protection across all aspects of farm or agribusiness, from civil and statute liability to Directors and Officers liability. Whether you’re involved in the day-to-day operations, or as an investor or trustee, AgriCover+ gives you confidence that you’re protected.
The fast-changing legislation that governs New Zealand’s primary industries is the driver behind some of the world’s most innovative agricultural and horticultural operations. We’re proud to support our rural clients, many of whom are industry leaders in their own right, with innovative insurance solutions that future-proof their organisations and enable growth.
Think about everything you use on a daily basis and everything stored in your shed or in the yard; would you be able to run your business if they were gone tomorrow? At the height of the season you need these replaced ASAP. We can develop tailor-made cover that protects your assets following a loss. This can include everything from plant to buildings; from the smallest pump shed to a large scale dairy shed and everything in between.
Whether you're shifting cows on the AG100 or harvesting crop in the latest header, we’ll assess all your rural vehicles and mobile plant to create the best cover. Then each year we will assist in keeping track of these vehicle values. With the current sophistication of farm machinery it's vital to have the right insurance to protect each farm vehicle.
It's really important to have the right cover for your homestead and worker's cottages. We can customise a robust plan around replacing your home and contents.
From protecting the herds and flocks in the paddock, to your stud stock and working dogs. We also have specialist markets available for standardbred and thoroughbred horses (including Polo ponies to showing and hunting horses). Cover can be extended to include vet expenses, infertility, and transportation.
Farming is an industry that comes with unique liability risks, from your stock on the road to a fire escaping your property and causing damage to the neighbour. In addition the current focus by the Workplace Health and Safety regulator on the sector brings a real need to have robust cover in place. We can help in advising you on this important part of your farm insurance programme.
We understand that dairy farming is a lifestyle, more than a job - and it's a 24/7 labour of love that comes with its own challenges. Those challenges shouldn’t include worrying about insurance. We can provide a comprehensive package with specific cover for your farm and milk solids, as well as dairy shed systems and equipment.
