Great Lakes Agricultural Labor Services, LLC

Based in Michigan, Great Lakes Agricultural Labor Services, LLC is a full service agent specialized in securing agricultural workers through the H-2A visa program. The company has been applying the standards of the U.S. Department of Labor to farms since 2015 and has become the largest H-2A filer in Michigan. The team has navigated the H-2A process many times, and on-site visits ensure that employers understand the process and regulations.

A self-funded medical plan for Ohio Farm Bureau members

As today’s farmers and small businesses with employees continue to search for health coverage options, the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation has taken action to help employers save on these expenses. The Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan can lead to more rate stability and is a smart solution that offers potential savings for Ohio farmers and small businesses with 1-50 employees.

Ohio Farm Bureau Property Protection Program

The Ohio Farm Bureau Property Protection Program has been in existence for more than 40 years. It began in 1971 with the purpose of deterring crime in rural areas. Over time, the program has been updated, particularly increasing the reward to keep pace with current economic values. 

Effective Jan. 1, 2020, the Ohio Farm Bureau Property Protection Program will pay a $5,000 reward to anyone providing information to law enforcement that leads to the arrest and conviction of persons for eligible property crimes committed against a Farm Bureau member’s property.

To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

Giving farmers a voice
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

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.
