Let me do the talking…
I bring a speaker’s presence shaped by real dirt under the nails—not talking points from a boardroom. You’re bringing an authentic farmer who:
shares vulnerability as much as victory;
has lived through economic seasons and droughts in the same heartbeat;
and speaks with humility, a wry smile, and the hope that comes from walking the turn rows.
Audience members tell me later they felt seen—not preached at. That’s beyond the bushel impact.
Let’s keep telling the story, together.
-
Speaking Locally
Right here in NEA and across the Delta, I show up where real farming happens—on county fair stages, in Extension meeting rooms, co-op dinners, classrooms, and around tailgates. My neighbors know I’m not shy about hard conversations, and I bring that same candor to:
County Extension meetings & conservation summits
Farm Bureau events & local producer boards
Ag in the Classroom & FFA leadership days
Community panels, field days, and co-op celebrations
-
Speaking Nationally
When I step onto a stage in D.C., Des Moines, or Denver, I bring rural realities to places that don’t always hear them. I’ve testified before Congress, addressed national ag groups, and spoken to non-ag audiences who want to understand the soul of farming. You’ll find me at:
Farm Bill roundtables & federal policy briefings
National trade shows & industry summits
University commencements & ag college keynotes
Corporate events, foundation boards, and advocacy panels
