Description: In the summer of 2007, The Access Project joined with The University of North Dakota Center for Rural Health and Brandeis University to gather data about the source, type and characteristics of farmers' and ranchers' health insurance as well as about the financial burden healthcare expenses place on farm and ranch families.
Data were collected through a telephone survey of over 2,000 non-corporate farm and ranch operators in seven states: Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The Survey was called the 2007 Health Insurance Survey of Famers and Ranchers, and a series of briefs were released reporting on different aspects of the findings.
