How Farmers can use Crop Insurance to their Advantage

Regional Insurance will find the best insurance policy for you, including comprehensive cover from planting through to harvest and beyond.

Traditional cover is Fire and Hail insurance, which will pay 100% of the yield that is damaged, but only for the yield at the time of the damage. We have also found that the limiting factor with Fire and Hail is the yield that Farmers have nominated at the time of claim. Often, this has been reduced to save insurance premiums and doesn’t reflect actual yields.

If you require more than this, then it’s wise to seek advice to cover all your bases.

At Regional Insurance Professionals, we can help you find policies that let you cover all key stages, in-field, in-silo, and on-the-road, so your whole crop investment is safeguarded.

Policy options can include:

  • Fire & Hail: It protects against crop loss from hailstones or fire events, paying out the insured yield.
  • Agreed Value: Lock in a yield value per tonne so your cover is guaranteed even if market prices swing.
  • Reducing Excess: An optional excess deductible that falls as the damaged area increases, lowering your base rate. In simple terms, the worse the damage, the less excess you have to pay.
  • Storage & Transit Cover: Protects harvested crops stored in silos or silo bags, as well as goods in transit.

Flexible Premiums/Other Benefits/Extra Harvest Options: Contact our team to discuss which insurance option best suits your situation or if you are looking to make a change.

Why Choose Regional Insurance Professionals

Our brokers live and work in rural Australia; we know farmers, and we will bat for you.

We have a wide network of Australia’s top crop insurers, giving you access to the best capacity and rates.

Because insurers often limit cover in high-risk areas, having many insurers means we can secure insurance even where capacity is scarce.

We Can Help With

  • Any Farm Size: Whether you have one paddock or multiple properties, we can insure them all. You can cover multiple fields or farms on a single policy, keeping things simple and clear or mix and match policies depending on your situation. But we will always help negotiate the best rates for your farm, no matter the size.

  • Flexible Premiums & Payment: Take advantage of options that fit your budget, for example, arrange cover early with no payment due until after harvest, or choose a higher excess to lower your base premium. These choices help you manage costs without skimping on cover.

  • Comprehensive Risk Protection: We ensure your policy covers the biggest threats, hail, fire, transport accidents, and more. In addition to standard perils, our brokers find plans often include extra benefits (like fire-fighting or replanting costs) to minimise your losses.

  • Peace of Mind: With the right insurance in place, you can make bolder cropping decisions. Farm insurance acts as a safety net that transfers risk and helps you recover from setbacks. In practice, this means you can weather a bad season without jeopardising your entire operation.

How Our Crop Insurance Quotes Work

We have many ways to help estimate your quote, but the most straightforward is to ask for a few simple details for each paddock:

Location: Approximate latitude/longitude (insurers use this to assess regional risk).
Expected Yield: Your anticipated tonnes per hectare for the crop.
Area & Crop Type: Paddock name/ID, area in hectares, and crop planted.
Price per Tonne: Current market value ($/t) of that crop.

We then calculate each field’s insured value as: Area (ha) × Insured Yield (t/ha) × Price ($/t).

For example, 50 ha × 2 t/ha × $300/t = $30,000.

Summing all paddocks gives the total insured sum, and the insurer’s premium rate is applied to that total. (Keep in mind: location is a material factor. Farms in frequent hail corridors or bushfire-prone zones often attract higher rates than low-risk areas.)

By following this process, we deliver a fair, accurate quote tailored to your farm. Our goal is to make crop insurance simple and affordable, so you can focus on growing a great harvest.

If you’re still unsure or if this kind of quote isn’t quite what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out.
