CHASE COUNTY, Neb. (RFD-TV) — Finding health coverage for farm families can be challenging, but Nebraska Farm Bureau is working to simplify the process through its health plans.
Member Grant Jones shares his experience with the program, which offers affordable coverage options and accepts applications year-round. He says the plans have helped him navigate the challenges of finding insurance as a self-employed farmer.
Similar challenges affect agricultural families nationwide, and a handful of other state Farm Bureaus offer health plans. Farmers can contact their state organization to see if similar options are available.
