"When I was growing up, people thought Farm Bureau was conservative and interested only in agriculture, and yet respected as an effective organization. Now, people are seeing a leading edge organization that is really leading the way for redevelopment in Iowa and it’s a trusted organization.” Chuck Offenburger, author, former Des Moines Register columnist - Member since 2005
"After the birth of our daughter, we found ourselves faced with an unexpected medical emergency. Looking at mounting medical bills, we could only hope that our insurance coverage was adequate. Thanks to our wonderful Farm Bureau health care coverage and the agent that consulted with us, we found that we were so well prepared that it allowed our lives to go on as normal. We still wonder where we'd be today if we had accumulated that incredible debt. Thanks to Iowa Farm Bureau, we'll never have to know." Rahn Eischeid, Carroll, Ia.
"Farm Bureau’s dedication to Iowa’s youth goes far beyond the playing fields. They provide millions of dollars for awards, recognition programs, grants and scholarships – helping to create stronger schools, stronger communities and a stronger Iowa." Bernie Saggau, Member and Former Executive Director of the Iowa High School Athletic Association - Member since 1997
"The Trees Forever Working Watersheds: Buffers & Beyond Initiative continues to improve Iowa’s water quality. The Iowa Farm Bureau has provided a lot of leadership to this program, encouraging members to participate. Planting buffers is a clear solution, and one that brings people of all ages together, working toward a more positive future." Shannon Ramsay, Founding President & CEO, Trees Forever - Member since 2008
“Farm Bureau, through their Rural Family Medicine Scholarships, encourages physicians, such as myself, to pursue a medical career in Iowa’s rural communities. Just another way that Iowa Farm Bureau is looking out for the health and welfare of rural Iowa.” Dr. Brent Hoehns, Atlantic, Ia. - Member since 1990
"I went with Farm Bureau for my health insurance, because I knew that by getting into the large Farm Bureau pool the cost of insurance is reduced. As a member of Farm Bureau, I also got the added bonus of a no-cost hearing healthcare plan with discounts on Siemens hearing aids. To those of us who need hearing aids, purchasing them can be difficult, especially on a fixed income, because no insurance is available." Thanks to this great hearing plan, I was able to purchase the Pur 500 aids and the results are beyond belief. I encourage others to take advantage of the many savings only available to Farm Bureau members. I'm sure glad I did." Judith Henricksen, Clinton County - Member since 2004
“We thoroughly enjoy the many opportunities and benefits of our membership. We saved almost $1,000 on my LASIK eye surgery. The nurse at the Wolfe Eye Clinic told us we were lucky to be Farm Bureau members as it is the largest discount they offer. It’s great to belong to an organization like Farm Bureau that works so hard to provide member discounts on family health care.” Amy Swenka, Johnson County - Members since 1993
“Our business membership in Farm Bureau has paid for itself over and over. We get better discounts on our Grainger orders as a Farm Bureau member than we did as an independent loyal Grainger customer. Plus, as members we now get free shipping on all online orders which have a 24-hour turnaround. Our costs are lower and our response time is faster. Our customers are happier and we are too. Every business should look into the advantages of Farm Bureau membership.” Rick Thornton, co-owner of Marick, Inc - Member since 2006
