The following information is provided by Nationwide, the No.1 farm insurer in the U.S.*
Nationwide is proud to support the Ohio Farm Bureau. Since 1926, Nationwide has provided insurance and financial services to Farm Bureau members and remains committed to helping farmers and ranchers protect what matters most.
As the exclusive property and casualty insurance company of Ohio and seven other state Farm Bureaus (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont), Nationwide has a rich history as a trusted resource for Farm Bureau members.
“We understand farming better than any other insurance company and offer more products and services in one place than our competitors,” said Brad Liggett, president of Nationwide Agribusiness. “But more importantly, we understand and appreciate Farm Bureau members since that’s where our company started. We stand with farmers and ranchers from across the country to assure their operations are properly protected.”
Over the last 90 years, Nationwide has grown from a small mutual auto insurer to one of the largest insurance and financial services companies. Additionally, Nationwide is the No.1 writer of farms and ranches in the United States* and offers farm insurance products that support all aspects of agriculture, from small acreage farms to large commercial agribusiness operations. Products and services cover the many sides of a farmer or rancher:
- Farm, commercial and excess and surplus/specialty insurance products help protect the life work of farmers and ranchers.
- Personal insurance products help individuals and families by protecting automobiles, homes, pets, sport vehicles, personal liability and more.
- Financial services products help prepare for retirement through life insurance, annuities, retirement plans, mutual funds and a variety of other financial services.
Farm Bureau members are eligible for special savings on their Nationwide farm policy and may be eligible for other benefits, such as additional emergency roadside assistance coverage, identity fraud expense, arson/crime reporting awards and accidental death coverage for youth organization animals (4-H or FFA).

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.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
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.
