FMG Started by farmers for farmers, FMG was established in 1905 to give rural New Zealand a better deal.

FMG has its roots firmly planted in rural New Zealand, which is why you’ll find that we're different when it comes to insurance. We were started in 1905 by farmers for farmers and today we’re still 100% New Zealand owned by our rural clients. Giving rural New Zealand a better deal is our core purpose and we live by an advice-led approach to help you identify and avoid interruptions to your farm, business and in your personal life.

🎆 Planning on letting off a few fireworks this Guy Fawkes?

Whether you’re on the farm, a lifestyle block or in town, a little preparation can help keep your people, animals, property and neighbours safe.

Before lighting anything, check it’s safe to do so at checkitsalright.nz

If it’s safe to go ahead, let your neighbours know, choose a clear space away from anything that could catch fire, keep fireworks pointed towards the open sky and have plenty of water close by. Once the fun’s over, soak used fireworks before putting them in the rubbish.

Look out for your people, your animals and your patch this Guy Fawkes.

Small nest. Big consequences.

Birds’ nests account for around $1.2 million in tractor fire claims each year. Don’t let yours be one of them this spring.

Before getting stuck into the day, take a moment to Stop & Pop and check under the bonnet.

Severe thunderstorms and hail are on the way for some parts of Canterbury.

Do not travel unless necessary. If you're driving and a hailstorm hits, pull over (under a covered structure if possible) until the hail stops.

- Cover your vehicles by moving them into a sheltered space such as a garage, or use a hail protector cover if they have to stay outside.
- Move valuable items indoors if possible or cover them if they remain outside.
- Move stock/animals into shelter if possible.

Stay safe 💚

Did ewe know? 🐑

Shearing doesn't just take skill; it's seriously physical too. A shearer can burn as many calories in a day as someone running a marathon.

Now that's what you call putting in the hard yards.

Throwback Thursday! 🚜

An oldie but a goodie, and still a handy reminder for spring.

Starlings love finding cosy spots to build their nests, including under the hood of your tractor. So before you get stuck into the day, stop, pop the hood and have a quick check. A few seconds could save you a much bigger headache.

Share this with someone who needs a spring reminder!

When we think about risk, it's easy to focus on buildings and equipment. But often it's the everyday essentials, like power, water, communications and somewhere to live, that can bring a farm or business to a standstill.

Taking a few minutes now to identify your weak spots and think through a Plan B could make all the difference when the unexpected happens.
