A growing number of small agribusinesses across Ohio are finding valuable support through the Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan. Designed for agricultural businesses with 1–50 employees, this plan offers significant savings and unique benefits tailored to the needs of Ohio’s farming community.
In a recent Ohio Farm Bureau Podcast, Bud Andrako, the top broker for the plan in the state, discussed why this health plan is gaining popularity and how it is positively impacting farmers and small business owners.
Currently, over 600 agricultural businesses across Ohio are enrolled, enjoying affordable, quality healthcare coverage.
According to Andrako, members are particularly excited about the non-traditional benefits, such as options for mental health support, flexible care services, and reduced rates for rural healthcare providers.
The plan is tailored to meet the unique challenges of the agricultural industry, offering flexibility and cost-efficiency. It’s not just about regular doctor visits or hospital stays—it’s about making healthcare accessible and useful for the people working on farms and running ag-related businesses.
Andrako also highlighted how this plan is designed to support wellness and preventive care, helping members stay healthy and reduce long-term medical expenses. These services help attract more employers and employees in the agriculture sector to explore this opportunity.
This program is ideal for farmers, ag retailers, seed dealers, grain handlers, and others involved in agriculture, who may have previously struggled to find affordable health insurance options for their teams.
By offering reliable coverage, cost savings, and community support, the Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan continues to grow in popularity, empowering agribusinesses across the state.
