OAKWOOD, Ga. — Wayne-Sanderson Farms announces a partnership with Vestwell to launch a new retirement savings program designed specifically for the company's more than 2,000 farm partners.
This collaboration underscores a significant step toward bridging the savings gap for agricultural workers, one of the American economy's most essential yet traditionally underserved sectors, the company noted, adding that, farmers work tirelessly to feed the nation, yet many lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans. According to the USDA, while many farmers have some form of retirement savings, their overall balances tend to be lower than the national average. . .
