In April of 1992, the Georgia Agribusiness Council began studying the potential for a workers’ compensation insurance program for its members. On November 1, 1993, Georgia Insurance Commissioner Tim Ryles issued his approval of the Council’s family of workers’ compensation self-insured trust funds. Certificates of Authority were granted with Georgia Agribusiness Council Chairman Gene Sutherland and President Gary W. Black on hand. The three funds were consolidated into one Fund—AgriTrust of Georgia—on January 1, 1997.
The Fund is owned by its policyholder members and is sponsored by the Georgia Agribusiness Council. Georgia Administrative Services provides third party administration for AgriTrust of Georgia.
