TELLING AGRICULTURE’S STORY
Farmers from across Iowa are ready to
share their stories with you as members of the Iowa Farm Bureau Speaker Corps.

Because they are farmers, they are in
the fields and on the front lines of commodity, livestock, environmental and rural issues. They are volunteers, ready to take time out of their own schedules to increase the public’s awareness of agriculture.

The Speaker Corps members are available to speak to civic and community clubs, church groups, school organizations or business leaders who want to learn more about production agriculture. They are also ready to assist members of the news media.

Members of the Iowa Farm Bureau
Speaker Corps are available to speak at no charge. To arrange speaking commitments, contact a member of the Iowa Farm Bureau Public Relations team.

 
To contact these individuals, call or email Laurie Groves, Public Relations Manager
Phone: 515-225-5414
Email: lgroves@ifbf.org
If unavailable, please call 515-225-5532 for further assistance.
