Complying with health and safety legislation is compulsory. Insurers expect compliance with statutory regulation. Indeed many assurance schemes, whether they be retailer-led, LEAF or more industry-wide red tractor standards, require minimum standards to be met.We can help you keep up-to-date with legislation and offer advise for protecting your farm and staff.
Farm diversification
Many farms are increasingly branching out from traditional farming activity to develop new revenue streams. These new activities are often innovative and complex. So as not to put the core assets at risk, it is essential to have the correct cover in place for each element of diversification alongside your traditional farming activity.
Farming legal expenses
There are many reasons why you may incur legal expenses. We have access to insurers who have designed a specialist solution providing legal expenses cover for farmers, including cover for contract disputes, criminal prosecution, employment, tax, property, Basic Payment Scheme disputes and issues with public rights of way.
Environmental Liability
The Environment Agency has the power to impose clean-up costs upon you if you are responsible for a pollution event. Having appropriate environmental insurance cover on your policy could be crucial in avoiding unexpectedly large bills for clean up costs.
Livestock disease cover
Animal and poultry disease outbreaks are unpredictable and often devastating. In recent times Avian Influenza, cattle farmers facing problems from TB and risk of foot and mouth means that the chance of disease is a real risk. Whilst government compensation does assist, it usually only goes as far as contributing average replacement values for livestock lost to the disease. Having insurance in place could be crucial to dealing with livestock disease.
