Farm Insurance

At Howden, our team knows that every farm is different, so our insurance for farms in the Waikato or anywhere in New Zealand is designed to suit you.

Comprehensive Farm Insurance

Don't let the unexpected jeopardise your livelihood.

Protect your assets including:

  • buildings and vehicles
  • milk contamination and fines cover
  • rural liability to cover incidents

Every farm is different, but whether you are farming sheep, cattle or crops, having comprehensive farm insurance is a good business decision.

Rural insurance is different from typical business insurance and will give you cover that suits your specific needs. Howden manages a range of farm insurance and our experienced Hamilton-based insurance brokers can help you find the right policy.

As well as farm insurance our team can also organise your heavy vehicle insurance, fleet insurance and liability insurance, as well as home and contents insurance and car insurance.

From livestock cover to your farm vehicles, Howden has you covered.

Farm insurance from Howden can cover you for everything from buildings to products. Farming is an industry that includes many hazards so rural liability insurance is essential to your insurance portfolio.

A rural liability insurance package can protect you from liability arising from farming operations such as grazing livestock, employers liability insurance which covers accidental injuries caused by operating farm machinery or handling hazardous substances, and statutory liability insurance to cover unintentional breaches of statutes.
