I paid for fodder beet upfront to help someone out with money issues, when the time came for it to be lifted it was rotten, where do I stand?
if you are wise you would insure itHere's another one
If you buy straw at an auction and the shed burns down before you collect , who's loss is it ?
If you read the Auctioneers small print it's clearly states the goods become the buyers responsibility at the fall of the hammer and its up to him to take out appropriate insurancethe farmers whos shed it is

The only complication is if the buyer has not paid for the item/goods. It is always strange with machinery auctions become buyers responsibility upon fall of hammer but not allowed to move etc until paid for!If you read the Auctioneers small print it's clearly states the goods become the buyers responsibility at the fall of the hammer and its up to him to take out appropriate insurance
We are insured for over 100 k for goods bought but not yet collected
yes but if the straw burns because of an electrical fault in your shed, the other man's insurance will chase you for it. Better to have double insurance than noneIf you read the Auctioneers small print it's clearly states the goods become the buyers responsibility at the fall of the hammer and its up to him to take out appropriate insurance

fodder beet is very prone too frost even more than Sugar beet. Should have been out the ground long agoSorry to read this but surely you have lost YOUR fodder beet if you had paid for it. It no longer belonged to the grower. Could it not then have been insured in the same way you would insure your other crops. Rotting due to flooding ?

The do in the US , but we are not the US are weI didn’t think you could insure against acts of god?
There is a difference though between if the OP bought 'X tonnes of beet to be delivered to my yard on Y date' or he bought 'X acres of beet lying in field Y'.Sorry to read this but surely you have lost YOUR fodder beet if you had paid for it.

You can insure against almost anything if you are prepared to pay the premiums. Hail is just one act of god you can insure against for crops.. And then there is also consequential loss policies that cover for knock on effects after the initial loss ie failure to deliver contract..I didn’t think you could insure against acts of god?
