For the best farm insurance advice, talk to a local expert

When it comes to making decisions about your farm, no one is more of a subject matter expert than you - the farm owner.

There will come times, however, when you need to deal with external advisers, such as is the case when organising a farm insurance policy, the best way to ensure your assets get the protection they need is to talk to an expert in the field.

Not just any expert though - you need someone that is as well versed in the local region as you are, on top of being a risk management specialist.

A local expert knows the environment you work in, has experience dealing with farms in your area - and in all likelihood lives on one!

They are much more likely to be able to understand your business needs and how to provide a comprehensive insurance cover to protect your assets.

With Elders Insurance, you can rest assured that your local insurance agent is just the sort of regional expert you are looking for.

If you need insurance advice in Narrandera, NSW, look no further for your local expert than Julie Shore.

For Julie, the ability to relate to farmers and business owners as fellow community members is a big plus.

"That's the biggest advantage of our services," says the Elders Insurance Narrandera agent.

"The personalised service and the knowledge of the local industry that we can offer - we understand what farmers do, as well as what they don't do; we are able to talk their language."

Julie is from a farming background herself and lives on a large acreage broadacre farm.

That means she doesn't just know about the concerns and business needs of farmers, but she lives them herself.

She spends time meeting clients on their farms - mainly broadacre crop farms in her region - in order to get to know their particular operations inside out.

This way she can ensure that their covers are comprehensive, competitive and stay current with the evolution of their businesses.
