Fodder Crisis Relief – Farm Insurance

The Department of Agriculture and the Minister for Agriculture have recognised the difficulties farmers have faced with the recent fodder crisis. They have taken a number of steps to aid farmers in Ireland.

A low-call crisis number – 1850 21 19 90 will be monitored until midnight each day, for farmers who are struggling to feed their livestock. Banks have been asked not to request loan repayments until the situation improves and some flexibility will be exercised with any farm inspections. Additional supplies of hay are being imported into the country, following recent, extensive wet weather and the shortage of feed.

Unpredictable weather, increasing fuel costs and fluctuating meat and milk prices are just some of the issues a typical farmer has to deal with on an annual basis. Farm insurance is flexible, but can provide cover for farm livestock, buildings and contents, public liability and environmental liability against induced contamination. Try Paddy Compare today for your farm insurance in Ireland, by comparing quotes from insurance brokers in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Donegal, and across the country.

A good public liability insurance policy will cover you against claims for damages from injury to members of the public and also if you cause damage to property outside of your premises. At Paddy Compare you can compare public liability insurance across Ireland free of charge.
