Insurers are usually a pretty hard-nose, practical bunch who stick to what their actuarial tables tell them. I was idly wondering whether organic farmers might get a lower insurance rate (for health or life insurance) than conventional, chemical farmers. If the actuarial tables suggest that the risk of health affects is less for organic farmers, lower rates would certainly be justified. On the other hand, maybe the risk of injury or death from machinery use is so overwhelming (relatively speaking) that it masks any effect of chemical exposure. Does anyone on the list know?
