FBD report an increased number of enquiries in the past 3 months in relation to forestry and crop insurance, most likely due to the spell of hot weather throughout the country this summer. There have been a number of incidents caused by fires around the country and some farmers have lost crops as a result. Farmers considering crop insurance are advised to contact one of FBD’s 32 branch offices where they can speak to a farm insurance advisor. These advisors cover all aspects of Farm insurance requirements and usually as most cases of cover are different, certain specifications can be discussed to suit your needs.
