Growers urged to take advantage of rebate to investigate insurance options

Australian growers are being encouraged to take advantage of the Federal Government’s Managing Farm Risk Program which will provide one-off rebates up to $2,500 to help eligible farm businesses with the cost of independent professional advice on insurance options to protect them from the perils of drought, frost, hail and fire. Darryl McCrae, SureSeason managing director, said the offer was a once in a lifetime opportunity for growers to thoroughly investigate what insurance options could mitigate their financial risk from catastrophic events.
