Ohio Senate Passes Farm Bureau Health Plans

“Fortifying the strength of the state’s agriculture sector.”

Ohio’s state Senate unanimously passed a measure that would expand health care coverage for Farm Bureau members.

The bill will allow Ohio farmers access to Farm Bureau Health Plans, which are already offered by numerous Farm Bureaus across the country. The bill now heads to the state House, but Ohio’s Farm Bureau president is praising the progress.

Bill Patterson states, “With health care being the driving factor of whether a farmer can focus solely on the farm or not, these health plans have the potential to grow the number of full-time farmers, fortifying the strength of the state’s agriculture sector.”
