Insurance Solutions for Farm & Agriculture

Every farm, no matter how unique, typically requires a diverse range of insurance coverage. 

Some essential coverage you may need includes –


Protection for your farm structures. Farms usually consist of various buildings, including barns, storage facilities, and your home.

  • Vehicle insurance. You’ll need coverage for your trucks, trailers, and farming equipment.
  • Liability insurance. Just like any other business, it’s crucial to have protection in case someone files a lawsuit due to accidents on your property or injuries sustained while working on your farm.
  • Coverage for your livestock and crops. Since your animals and crops are essential to your operation, having insurance to safeguard them against damage is vital.
  • Business interruption insurance. If an unforeseen event, like a fire, disrupts your farming activities, this coverage can help support your family until you’re back on your feet.

What types of farm insurance are available in Ontario?

Farm insurance covers different parts of your farm to keep it safe. It includes crop insurance to protect your plants from bad weather and pests, and livestock insurance to cover your animals if they get sick or stolen. Farm property insurance takes care of your buildings and equipment, while liability insurance protects you if someone gets hurt on your farm. Business interruption insurance helps you financially if something stops your farm work, and farm vehicle insurance covers your tractors and trucks. At Hicks Insurance, we offer all these types of coverage to make sure your farm is well-protected and can keep running smoothly.

If your farm operates seasonally, you might not need year-round coverage for all aspects of your farm. Instead, you can consider Peak Season Coverage, which increases your protection during the busiest times when your farm’s assets are at their highest. This type of coverage is cost-effective and customizable, allowing you to specify the start and end dates of your peak season 

It ensures that your crops, livestock, equipment, and other assets are fully protected during critical periods without paying for increased coverage during off-peak times.
