Protecting the most important asset on your farm | EP 42
When we talk about assets on farm, we often think of land, livestock, and machinery. But there’s one asset that’s even more important — and that’s you, the farmer.
Farming can be risky, physically and financially, and too often we overlook how vulnerable we are when we don’t have the right support in place for ourselves and our families.
In this episode, we’re joined by Ash Krishna from FMG to talk about the bigger picture when it comes to protecting farmers' health, lives and livelihoods.
He shares some real-life stories of farmers who’ve experienced the unexpected on-farm but got through it because they’d put plans in place.
He also breaks down the common myths and misconceptions around insurance and explains how to get started if it’s something you’ve been putting in the too-hard basket.
We get it – insurance isn’t the most exciting topic under the sun.
But it sure can have a big impact on your business, particularly when something goes wrong, and you’re caught without it.
