Keynote Speaker Opportunities

Agriculture is my passion and I want to take opportunity to share my story offline with others in the community. I take advantage of opportunities to present workshops, speak for clubs, field days, banquets, and meetings. My messages include training for use of Social Media in agriculture, pursuing your passion with a career in agriculture, and connecting our food from pasture to plate.
