Meetings re: ag health insurance co-op; ditch mowing

Monday, November 6, 2017

Dear Neighbor,

People who are interested in learning more about the new 40 Square health insurance plan available to ag. workers are invited to attend an informational meeting 4 p.m. this Wednesday, Nov. 8, at the Baymont Inn & Suites in Albany (820 Shamrock Lane).

An overview of this subject was provided in a column I recently submitted to area newspapers. The gist of it is that 40 Square is a member-owned and self-funded option for obtaining health insurance. Enrollment is underway to sign up for coverage starting Jan. 1 of 2018. To be eligible, one must produce an ag commodity and file either a Schedule F or a Form 1065 on their tax return.

Click here for more details about this program in my column or click here for the 40 Square site. I hope you are able to attend Wednesday’s meeting if this opportunity may be helpful.

Also, just a quick reminder about the meetings in St. Cloud and Morris to address MnDOT’s ditch-mowing policies. I touched on this subject in an email last week and in a newspaper column I submitted this morning.

The St. Cloud meeting will take place 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, at the St. Cloud MnDOT Conference Center (3725 12th St. N.) The Morris meeting will be 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15, at the University of Minnesota Morris Science Auditorium (600 E. 4th St.). Anyone with questions can call my office for more information at (651) 296-4317.

Sincerely,

Paul
