Governor Terry Branstad has declared Dec. 2-8 as ‘Iowa Farm Bureau Week,’ honoring the many accomplishments and contributions of the 94-year-old grassroots farm organization as well as marking the organization’s annual meeting.

To kick off Iowa Farm Bureau Week, the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation has added a new benefit partner to help members qualify for an average of over $4,000 in tax savings to reduce out-of-pocket and health insurance premium costs.

BASE, a third party benefit administration company headquartered in Adel, will work with Farm Bureau members who are self-employed or small business owners to customize a benefit plan for their specific needs and ensure the plan is in compliance with government regulations.
