In the U.S., what do farmers do for insurance?
Most farmers, I think, operate as small business owners.
They have equity in their land, equipment and homes, but what do they
do for health, disability and life insurance?
In my limited experience insurance is too expensive for
a single family to buy. Most people who have insurance
have it through their employer.
Farming is a moderately dangerous profession; injuries are common.
That would make health or disdability insurance even more expensive than it is for others in less dangerous lines of work.
Do farmers form co-ops, and the co-op buys insurance for its members?
Thanks,
