What does NFU stand for in insurance?

A word from their home page: "the North America Farm Bureau Federation is a nonprofit organization representing farm families."

They represent "farm families" so they support "traditional farmers." Who defines "traditional farmers"? The definition offered on the NFU web site shows how their definition of "traditional" differs from what we mean when we say "farm." A traditional farm is one that has not transformed to the modern farm. The NFU defines the modern farm as one that produces livestock, poultry or fish industrialized facilities with mechanized equipment that have become commonplace. They even define a "farmers' market" as an example of a modern farm: "Most farmers' markets are now operated in conjunction with restaurants or supermarket chains. Their vendors are often large companies that provide agricultural products to the wholesale food distribution industry. The products sold at these markets tend to be pre-packaged."

The NFU doesn't like organic farming because it uses traditional farming methods and the production of organic foods hasn't transformed into the modern industrial model. And this doesn't just apply to the food we eat.

The NFU also condemns genetic engineering. It does so based on "scientific" evidence that was never peer reviewed and was written by non-experts in the field of genetics.

In their opinion, GE (Genetic Engineering) is causing a decrease in crop yields and an increase in pesticide use. They believe these are signs that organic farming is successful and that it's time for GE to be adopted on a large scale.

NFU wants to limit the amount of time farmers can spend growing crops. NFU wants them to replace traditional crops with "new high-tech varieties" as quickly as possible. They want farmers to switch to genetically engineered crops and they want to "restrict the variety of crops that may be grown."

The NFU supports the federal government's proposed policy of prohibiting the release of all GM crops to the public and restricts consumers from growing their own GM food. NFU believes that if enough money is spent in research then more research will result in finding a "magic bullet" solution to all problems. They think a magic bullet will make food more available and cheaper to make. They want to make it easier for farmers to choose and grow high-tech commercial crops.

They believe GMO is the solution today's problems.

Who runs the NFU?

It's no secret that the National Farmers Union is a member-funded organisation. The NFU receives approximately 5m a year in membership fees (which includes farmers, businesses and others with an interest in agriculture). This revenue is then ploughed back into the NFU's activities to support and promote its farmers' agenda.

How much of this money comes from direct membership fees? This depends on whether or not you want to pay a subscription fee for NFU membership. But even if you are a 'lifetime member' of the NFU, the amount of money that comes directly from membership is relatively small.

In 2023 the NFU made a loss of 13.6m, the equivalent of 0.00056 person. In the past ten years the NFU has had only four net losses:

2010/11 - 12.4m 2009/10 - 11.2m 2008/09 - 4.9m 2007/08 - 1.7m As a result of this loss of income, the NFU has been unable to fund many of its projects, such as research, campaigning and youth work. What's more, the NFU does not disclose who its members are. Only individual members are able to access the NFU's Annual Report and accounts. Because these are made public the NFU's finances are clearly open to scrutiny.

But despite this, the NFU has refused to reveal the number of individual members. And because it is a non-profit-making organisation, the NFU has never been subject to any sort of annual audit.

Although the NFU was founded in 1889 as the Federated Farmers of Great Britain and Ireland, it was rebranded as the National Farmers Union in 1990. Its members today are farmers and landowners from all over the UK, and it is funded by the very people whose interests it is supposed to be representing.

What's more, it doesn't seem to have a website that allows people to find out who actually runs the NFU. You can go on the NFU website but they don't list the names of anyone who is employed by them. It's impossible to search for who works in any particular department.

What is NFU Mutual? NFU Mutual is a membership organisation that promotes the interests of farmers. You can join as a member, or you can associate with one of our many local branch offices. Find out more about the company and the services we offer in our guide to NFU Mutual.

What are the benefits of being an NFU Mutual member? There are three main benefits that come with being an NFU Mutual member. First of all, there is access to our benefits scheme, which offers discounts on a wide range of products and services.

In addition, members also have access to a range of services and benefits that will help them to grow their businesses and to help them make the most of the opportunities available. And finally, we offer a range of support services so that you can get the help that you need to maximise the potential of your business.

With so much to offer, why not join today? Why do I need an NFU Mutual Business Insurance policy? All members have access to the NFU Mutual Benefits Scheme, but you need to be covered for any particular risks that you might face at work. The benefits that are available to you through the scheme can give you peace of mind and help you to take advantage of new business opportunities.

What kind of cover do I need? If you are going to be farming yourself, then you can take out a comprehensive farm insurance policy. A farm policy will cover all the risks that you might face when you are involved in farming. It will protect against theft, storms, equipment failure, fire, flood, and other unforeseen events.

If you plan to employ other people to help you with your business, or if you are thinking about starting your own business, then you can take out a limited company (business) insurance policy. A business policy will cover the start-up costs, and it will ensure that your employees are protected if something goes wrong.

What will my premium be? It's a good idea to think about how much you can afford to pay for your insurance. Think about the likely risks that you might face at work, and about the kind of protection that you want to include in your policy.

What does the NFU do?

The NFU works to ensure the future health of Britain's countryside, wildlife and grassland through farming, grassland and land management, land and environment research, fisheries and forestry. We are the representative organisation for farmers, fishers, wildlife professionals, conservationists, graziers and others who work on and around British farmland and pastures.

Our Mission Statement. We are passionately committed to ensuring the future health and productivity of British farmland, forest and grassland, through providing the widest possible range of relevant, practical and well-informed services, advice and publications to the farming, land management, tourism and recreational industries, together with others in our interests. We recognise the fundamental importance of natural environments to people and societies and support sustainable land management, by improving the understanding and valuing of the many aspects of wildlife and the natural environment.

The NFU: what we do and how to join. It's more than a union. It's a movement. So join the NFU and help us change the face of farming in the UK.

Together, we have driven the most far-reaching reforms for farmers in a generation. From being treated like second class citizens, to being valued for their contribution. The result has been a strong, unified movement who are at the forefront of the issues affecting rural communities.

The biggest issue. Is it fair? We believe farmers should be paid fairly for what they produce - whether that's grass, fruit, oil or wool, meat or milk. But the law doesn't always reflect this, and so the NFU supports changes in the law to ensure farmers get a fair price for their produce, and that consumers don't pay high prices for commodities.

With the best pay and conditions, higher quality produce and better animal welfare, there is no better career for today's modern farmer. And when you talk to your friends about farming they will usually agree it is the best job in the world. You don't need to make huge sacrifices. You can still enjoy the countryside and have fun.
