Nationwide Insurance

 Company Profile: Nationwide® sold their first policy in 1926, and The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation is open for business. Early growth came from working together with Farm Bureaus that sponsored the company. Nine Farm Bureaus continue to promote Nationwide today. Over the last 90 years, Nationwide has grown from a small mutual auto insurer owned by policyholders to one of the largest insurance and financial services companies in the world.

Nationwide® is still owned by policyholders, but they protect a lot more than just autos owned by Ohio farmers. Today they offer a full range of insurance and financial services across the country, including car, motorcycle, boat, homeowners, pet, farm, life and commercial insurance, as well as administrative services, annuities, mortgages, mutual funds, pensions, long-term savings plans and specialty health services in all 50 states.
