Farm Insurance
Ausure Insurance Broking Services understands the agriculture and farming industry well. Our Managing Director Sam Hunter has had the experience of growing up and working on his family farm located at Bribbaree. While working, he was able to gain knowledge of the farming industry from both his grandfather and father who have been on the land all their life.
Ausure Insurance Broking Services understands the day to day activities that farmers do, the expenses that are involved, the love farmers have for the land and how passionate they are about their jobs. We also understand the large amount of risks that are involved whether it is bailing hay or contract harvesting, along with the continuing change in the Australian climate and the harsh environmental events farmers may encounter such as flood, fire, storm or drought.
