Towergate have been dealing with Farm Insurance for many years. We have grown and developed alongside the changing times of the agriculture industry, expanding to understand the developments and challenges you face in modern times. Using an advisory based approach, we review your requirements to find our most competitive insurance package for you. Our online Risk Management tool allows you to build a Health & Safety policy online.
If you keep farm machinery, produce, deadstock or farm buildings, our policies can provide insurance designed and tailored for your farm. If you are a livestock farmer, we can tailor a policy which insures you for a large variety of risks, including options for loss of stray animals, theft, transit, mysterious disappearance, electrocution, and fire.
In a modern world, diversification is playing a large part in the way farms drive revenue. Be sure to let us know how you are diversifying away from standard farm activities, so we can provide a tailored policy matched to your risks. Speak to us about livery yards, farm shops, shooting, camping, agricultural contracting, renewable energy and wind turbines, B&B and holiday lets, commercial property and even drone insurance.
We understand that most farmers may have the need to insure on a multi-vehicle basis, including private cars, commercial vehicles and agricultural vehicles. We offer cover which can group all your farm vehicles under one policy, which typically extends to include trailer implements cover too. Of course, if you only own one vehicle - whether it be a tractor or quad bike - we can cover that too.
When you need to make a claim, we'll guide you through the process and get your claim settled as quickly as possible.
Farm insurance usually comes as an insurance package designed specifically for agricultural businesses, buildings, tools and produce. It can protect things like farm machinery, livestock, buildings, profits and produce, altogether under one policy.
Farm insurance cover includes:
Each farming operation is unique, so you should ensure that you have a policy tailored to your needs.
Yes, if you have a farm or smallholding, it is vital to have liability insurance of some kind.
An agricultural insurance policy can offer you cover against a wide range of risks which may stop your farm operating, or make it run at a higher cost. This help keeps your livelihood secure in challenging times, whether the issues are caused by machinery and equipment, livestock, buildings, profits and produce.
If you have a small farm as a non-commercial hobby, your standard homeowner’s insurance policy may cover some activities. However, most home insurance will not include liability cover for commercial farming, so it’s important you review your current policy. If you are not covered for commercial farming, you should take out farm insurance.
Yes, our policy covers you against accidental pollution.
Absolutely. We are well versed in assisting farmers who wish to maximise their revenue by diversifying. We have policy extensions already in place which offer you cover for things such as commercial camping, holiday lets and caravans, as well as activities on your land such as walking, cycling and farmers' markets/shops.
We can cover you for game bird shooting. Be sure to let us know which activities are taking place and discuss how to get cover.

If you have farm and agricultural equipment, you may need to insure on a multi-vehicle basis, including private cars, commercial vehicles and agricultural vehicles. This is normally excluded from farm insurance policies, but you can take out insurance for agricultural vehicles, which can group cover for all your farm vehicles, such as motor, tractors and quads, under one policy.
As all insurance policies vary, please check your policy document carefully for full details of what is covered and what is excluded under your own farm and agricultural cover.
Full terms and conditions are available on request from your Towergate advisor, and in your policy documents.
