    Protecting your ‘next’ with Nationwide

    As we continue to stay ahead of the curve for farmers and ranchers, find out how we can work together to protect your next.

    Ohio Farm Bureau Staff | Posted on

    January 13, 2022



    spring planting

    Since our start as a small mutual auto insurance provider in 1926, Nationwide has watched farms evolve from horses and moldboard plows to drones and autonomous machinery. We’ve grown and evolved in that time, too.

    As the No. 1 insurer of farms and ranches in the U.S.* and the exclusive property and casualty insurance provider for nine state Farm Bureaus (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia), Nationwide’s commitment to helping farmers and ranchers protect their next is stronger than ever.

    We’re evolving as farmers and ranchers evolve

    Every time agriculture leaps forward, so do we. That’s what protecting your next is all about: always looking and planning ahead – working to provide the insurance products and services progressive farmers and ranchers need to succeed.

    Today, that means staying on the leading edge of new tools, practices and technology farmers and ranchers need to get their jobs done. Our firm grasp on these types of changes means we’ll continue to offer the products and services our customers need, whether they’re working to better align with public interest or grow and diversify a farm or ranch.

    “We are always challenging ourselves to identify ways we can evolve our products and services. We take our commitment to supporting farmers and ranchers’ changing needs very seriously,” said Brad Liggett, president of Nationwide Agribusiness. “Nationwide is there for you today. We’re also working hard to make sure we protect your next.”

    Valuable resources for Farm Bureau members

    Nationwide offers business solutions to help Farm Bureau members protect their next. That means business planning, insurance tools and transition expertise, including:
    • Farm, commercial and surplus/specialty insurance products to protect your life’s work.
    • Personal insurance products and services for homes, vehicles and personal liability.
    • Financial service products like life insurance, annuities and retirement plans.

    As a Farm Bureau member, you are eligible for special savings on your Nationwide farm policy. And you may be eligible for other benefits, such as:
    • Emergency roadside assistance coverage.
    • Identity fraud expense.
    • Arson/crime reporting awards.
    • Accidental death coverage for youth organization animals (4-H or FFA).

    And our Ag Insight Center provides expert tips and insights to help you navigate the changing agricultural landscape, run a successful business and maintain the safety of your operation.

    New and beginning farmers
    My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.

    Growing Tomorrow Grant
    We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.

    It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.

    Giving farmers a voice
    The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

    Select Partner Program
    Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

    Advocacy
    So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
