This isn’t just your farm. It’s your future.

Farming is never just about land or yield. It is a home, a way of life and a future. It deserves cover that can change with it.

No two seasons are ever the same. One year, the rains arrive on time, the next a late frost cuts deep. A pump fails, a market dips overnight or a fire takes hold on a dry afternoon. Farming has never been predictable, nor has the cover farmers need to rely on.

You’ve lived through more than just changing seasons: droughts that lingered, diesel hikes that pushed margins to the edge, markets that shifted faster than a summer storm. Through it all, you kept on farming. What you’ve built is far more than just land and livestock. It’s a way of life, a household, and what lies ahead for the next generation. It is a legacy that deserves cover that understands what farming really takes.

Each day and season bring new pressures. A dry winter can turn into sudden flooding. A promising crop can fall to pests or price swings before it even leaves your farm. And even when the weather – usually unpredictable – holds steady, there are other challenges: rising input costs, security concerns, and the uncertainty of passing farms down to the next generation.

Adaptability has always been part of farming. Today, it matters more than ever. It is what enables farmers to carry on when conditions change overnight. Insurance should work the same way: flexible enough to move with the farm instead of holding it back.

One solution for the entire farm

A farm is never one business – it’s many in one. Machinery must run; sheds, equipment and fences must be maintained; herds and crops require care; and the household depends on it all. A setback in any area can ripple through everything else.

That’s why Old Mutual Insure created Agriplus. It brings the full operation under a single, flexible policy. The same cover that insures the family home also includes vehicles, harvesters, irrigation systems, pumps, and liability risks. Instead of managing multiple policies, farmers have one solution designed to adapt to their needs, so they can focus on farming – from planting, harvesting and managing markets to preparing for the next generation.

For wine producers, Agriwine extends this approach even further, covering your legal liability, buildings, vehicles, trellises, wine tanks, and specialist equipment unique to the industry. It ensures that one event doesn’t undo everything you’ve worked for.

Beyond the obvious risks

If a blaze spreads beyond your land, you could face legal liability for damage to neighbouring properties. Workers’ actions can also trigger unexpected legal liability. These realities add to the already heavy task of safeguarding both assets and a way of life.

Old Mutual Insure goes further than simply replacing physical assets, offering cover designed around real farming, your world, and the years to come.

Specialists who know the land

Insurance only matters when it works in practice. This is why Old Mutual Insure’s agri specialists are central to its approach. Many come from farming families themselves and understand the uncertainty of the changing seasons, the pressure of rising input costs, and the complexity of compliance.

It is that knowledge – and their passion for your world – that make the difference, with solutions that hold steady when conditions turn against you.

Cover for what you’ve built

A farm is never just a piece of land. It is a workplace, a home, and for many a legacy. The right cover ensures that years of work are not undone by a single event.

Old Mutual Insure has stood with South African farmers for generations, offering cover when the unexpected happens and support that stays firm in both good years and difficult ones.
