Health Care Cost ConcernsHealth Insurance - a major cost of
doing business• $11.500 = Average cost for
employment based health insurance in 2006 for a family of four
• $3000 = Average employee’s contribution
• 87% increase in premiums since 2000 (18% inflation during the same time)
• 73% of farmers in CSF study stated health care is a financial burden

Worker (Human) Capital
Need to reduce: • Health insurance cost• Workers’ comp cost• Disability cost• OSHA Concerns • Liability risks • Sick leave
Need to improve:• Employee retention• Worker morale• Financial bottom line

Five Areas of Producer/ Worker Health Concern
Injuries Needle Sticks Noise Manure gases Respiratory exposures
![Page 6: The University of Iowa Kelley J. Donham DVM Risto Rautiainen PhD](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/5681372a550346895d9eb605/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Manure gases Hydrogen Sulfide
Methane 40% deep pits = risk Anaerobic conditions Agitation Acid conditions in pit Sulfates > 250 ppm in water When pit warms up (late spring) Prevention
Minimal agitation Check sulfates in water More frequent emptying Lime the pit

Respiratory Concerns
Exposures Dust Endotoxin Ammonia
Mostly Chronic Exposures concern
Airways concern Organic Dust Toxic
Syndrome Bronchitis Asthma-like condition

Respiratory Prevention
Research since 1974 Dust control Gas control How clean is clean? Wellness Checks Management Engineering Education

Pulmonary Function in CSF Farmers
Baseline Tests19.4% of CSF
had FEV1 deficits > 20% of predicted
After 4 Years70% improved

• 47% ($183/yr vs. $332/yr) reduction in costs
Overall cost savings (insurance and out of pocket) =
27%27% ($374/yr vs. $512/yr).

Health care costs are related to on-farm safety review scores:
Safer farms = lower health care costs
