Landus Introduces New Farmer-Focused Health Coverage to Meet the Growing Needs of Farmers

DES MOINES, IA (August 27, 2024) - Landus, an Iowa-based agriculture solutions company, today announced new farmer-focused health coverage options through Landus Health and Conduit Health. This unprecedented initiative, powered by Momentum Ag, a Division of Patriot Growth Insurance Services, LLC, will provide comprehensive coverage through a nationwide provider network, ensuring health care is affordable and accessible for thousands of farmers across the nation.

Historically, health programs have been overwhelmingly expensive, and coverage has been limited across the ag industry, with farmers paying the majority of their healthcare expenses out of pocket. Landus Health and Conduit Health make health coverage available for farming operations of any size and is specifically designed with rural families' needs in mind.

Landus Health and Conduit Health offer:

  • Comprehensive Coverage: Program includes $0 preventative and telemedicine along with care coordination and disease management for chronic conditions.
  • At-Home Access to Care: All farmers who sign up for Landus Health or Conduit Health will receive a TytoCare kit for convenient, efficient at-home access to health providers and diagnoses regardless of proximity to provider locations.
  • Affordable Program Options: Multiple program options are offered to fit every budget with solutions for employee only, employee/spouse, employee/children, or family.
  • Nationwide Provider Network: Available options use the Cigna nationwide network, so it's easy to find an in-network provider wherever you are.

"This is a gamechanger for farmers everywhere," said Dee McCune, Health Program Project Lead at Landus. "As a farmer myself, I know first-hand the challenges that many face in this industry. Through Landus Health and Conduit Health, it will now be easier than ever for farmers to have affordable nationwide coverage for not just themselves, but their families and employees."

"We listened to our farmers. There have not been affordable health coverage options out there for them without a member of their family finding a job away from the farm. Landus Health and Conduit Health will change that," said Matt Carstens, Landus and Conduit President & CEO. "Rural vitality is central to our mission here at Landus and affordable, high quality health coverage is a key part of that. I look forward to partnering with a farmer-focused company like Momentum Ag to get this critical support in the hands of farmers."

"Working with companies like Landus who truly put the farmer at the center is one of the many reasons why I founded Momentum Ag," said Lucas Strom, Founder & CEO of Momentum Ag. "Accessible and affordable health coverage is hard to come by in rural communities, and we are changing that. Everyone should have access to affordable health program options, from one person to one family to a company with over 100 employees and everything in between."
