On the latest Our Ohio Weekly, Nationwide Agribusiness associates share how they are on the forefront of agriculture innovations, their new department focusing on larger operations and how they take risk management to the next level.
Over the last 90 years, Nationwide has grown from a small mutual auto insurer started by Ohio Farm Bureau members to one of the largest insurance and financial services companies in the world. Early growth came from working together with other Farm Bureaus that sponsored the company. Today, the Fortune 100 company offers a full range of insurance and financial services across the country and remains the largest farm insurer in the county.
