Since 1994, John Phipps has been providing unique speaking and writing services to agriculture, agribusiness, and rural communities. From seminars and keynotes, to articles and commentary, John generates up-to-the-minute provocative presentations that stimulate interest and response. Interlaced with wit and perspective, John's presentations can breathe life into tired meeting formats and touch deftly on areas of farm and rural living that trouble and excite us. His experiences in the trenches as a commercial grain farmer lend both credibility and empathy to his comments.
Familiar to farm audiences from the pages of Farm Journal (John's World) and Top Producer (Perspective), John has established himself as an independent observer who does not flinch from asking the hard questions or suggesting honest answers, even challenging the status quo. By mixing his gift for humor with his passion to help farmers lead happier lives, John works to understand and be understood. His presentations are neither rote recitations nor stand-up comedy, but a fast-paced, laugh-filled adventure to new thoughts.
In August 2005, John also began hosting US Farm Report, the nation's longest-running farm show. Appearing weekly across America, US Farm Report is evolving to match the changing nature of agriculture in America.
Sortly after assuming duties at US Farm Report, John began a blog - John's World - which offers unique information and commentary to farm, agribusiness, and general audiences. It's hard to describe but already a favorite page on AgWeb.
A singular blend of humor and insight permeates his work on paper and at the podium. As an independent farmer, he has no political agenda or economic motive - just a determination to provide forthright commentary as part of his commitment to the profession he loves. He sells no product or service but his opinion, and more importantly, his hopes for the agriculture industry. | * Visit John's World for the latest thoughts to escape John's brain.
