Crop Insurance is essential to any farmer who is dependent on a successful harvest. It affords farmers the necessary peace of mind that their livelihood is protected by comprehensive and specialised cover. Any potential crop loss or damage caused by adverse weather conditions like hail, drought and frost, or conditions such as insects or diseases is provided for.

There is much more involved in farming than livestock or crops; farmers need insurance for potential damage to their buildings, machinery, farming implements, etc. Perils include fire, lightning, storm wind and water, as well as possible damage caused by animals. Dam walls also need to be catered for and need to be insured against depending on the specific needs of the client. Death or injury can easily occur at a farm as a result of farm workers operating dangerous machinery. Therefore, farmers also need to be insured for possible legal liabilities.

Good weather conditions are a major contributing factor to the success of a crop and in some cases, the crops that follow. Specialised insurance products like Weather Insurance are available to farmers who require comprehensive cover against the effects of adverse weather conditions.

As a cyclist, you want your bicycle insurance to comprehensively cover your bicycle while in use or during a race, both for road cycling and mountain biking. It is important to note that your general policy does not cover your bicycle while in use or at a race; therefore, Professional Bicycle Insurance is needed in addition to your general policy.
