Workers’ compensation meetings available
A complete list of dates and locations for workers’ compensation safety training classes is now available. Ohio Farm Bureau’s Workers’ Compensation Group Rating Program members are required to attend one safety seminar per year to remain eligible in the program.
The program enables small employers with better-than-average claim histories to combine claim expenses and rate calculations to take advantage of premium savings currently reserved for large employers. Most members save the maximum 53 percent allowed by the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.
If interested in participation in the program, call CompManagement at (800) 825-6755, option 3 or request a quote.

As a member of Farm Bureau, I am glad that this organization takes action when necessary to protect and advance agriculture.
If you have issues with local planning or have legal questions, someone at the Farm Bureau has the answer for you, or they’ll connect you with someone who does.
Farm Bureau is an incredible organization that has given me countless professional development opportunities in addition to advocating for all sizes and types of farmers.
We go to a lot of Farm Bureau events, and there’s a lot of camaraderie built because you’re meeting with people who have similar interests and goals.
Through its policies it brings together people in the agricultural community and invests in building vibrant communities that support agriculture.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington, D.C.
