Ohio BWC

Provided by Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation

Ohio’s agriculture industry accounts for one in eight jobs in the state. It takes many families, individuals and partners working together to bring safe and affordable food to the tables of Ohio consumers. From those working in the fields to those working along the various supply chains of agriculture production, there’s plenty of room for accidents to happen. 

Thankfully, Ohio’s agriculture industry has a great record in taking safety seriously. The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Division of Safety and Hygiene works hard to make sure our agriculture industry is covered. Here’s a quick video that highlights all the ways your agriculture business can work with Ohio BWC to ensure your workplace remains safe and secure. 

Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation can be a strong partner in helping you keep your agriculture business and employees protected. Visit bwc.ohio.gov or call 800-644-6292 for more information.

Farm Labor Resources
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.

Strong communities
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.

Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.

Growing our Generation
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.

Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.

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.

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.
