If you are not currently with NFU for your Home Insurance, give them a call to see if they will cover this risk, if you move your Home Ins cover to them.

GM Imber and Sons Ltd Insurance Brokers appear to cover such risks under a standalone policy they can arrange. Google them online for details.

I agree, if your have your farm insured with someone like NFU or AIU try them otherwise try the company huckster has recommended.

It can be expensive though especially if you have any traffic marhsalls

Thanks both of you, NFU werent helpfull about public liability for my farm. Why would traffic marshalls make it more expensive?

...you'd have to have insurance cover for them as employees I guess.

With traffic marshalls the Insurer can start picking up Road Traffic Act car claims through the marshalls making mistakes / people accusing them of causing accidents and the marshalls being hit by cars. Public Liability Insurers do not like getting involved with motor claims as they can be a lot more expensive than your normal slip and trip type claim.

As gordkin mentioned you would also need Employers Liability for them (You will need it for any employees you have).
