The Wisconsin Farmers Union is voicing concerns about health insurance for farmers.
The WFU reports that 14% of Wisconsin farm families have no health insurance at all, and another 17% have catastrophic coverage solely for severe, work-related accidents.
Nationally, 41% of dairy farmers lack health insurance coverage.
As a 2026 Special Order of Business, quality health insurance is a topline issue this year for Wisconsin Farmers Union.
