This is a great program. It gives even the smallest business a chance to provide this benefit to their employees.

We've been working on trying to do something in this area for more than three years. Initially, we tried to find a way to extend the group health insurance we offer our employees to the farmers we do business with, but that wasn't possible within regulations.

In no way are we trying to infringe on how or where you get your healthcare. We just want to help reduce the cost associated with your healthcare.
