Future Farming Programme

Farmers are currently seeing the biggest changes in agriculture for more than 50 years. As a mutual insurer, we’ve stood by South West farmers since 1903 and through our Future Farming Programme, we are helping our Members and the wider farming community navigate the changes ahead in this transformative time. Find our latest information and resources below.

As part of the programme, our Next Generation group aims to improve the industry skills of Members’ families and their young farm workers, and inspire them to stay in farming. We’re also offering Cornish Mutual Young Farmer Bursaries to support the training and development of young people entering the industry.
