Corn farming is one of the most essential—and hazardous—sectors in American agriculture. From producing animal feed to biofuels and food ingredients, corn operations rely heavily on mechanized harvesting, which introduces major injury risks for farm workers.
The most common and dangerous equipment used includes corn pickers and combines. While these machines increase efficiency, they also pose serious hazards, especially during maintenance or when clearing jams. Workers can suffer from:
- Lacerations and puncture wounds
- Traumatic amputations
- Crushing injuries
- Fatal entanglements in fast-moving parts
Even seasoned workers can be caught off-guard. For instance, when removing stalk obstructions from a running corn picker, a slight misjudgment can result in a catastrophic injury.
Because these injuries often lead to long-term disability or require significant medical intervention, Workers’ Compensation (WC) is essential. However, due to the high-risk nature of this work, many agriculture clients struggle to secure affordable coverage.

We provide Workers’ Compensation coverage to businesses in need, no matter the risk, and help agents find the best PEO coverage and savings for their insured.
