AG Speaker Rik Roberts knows what it is like to work. With a background working on a tobacco farm Rik relates to farmers more than most speakers. Helping his Dad out at a young age in the fields taught him about work ethic. It taught him to appreciate good times. It also taught him how to prepare for times that are tough as well.
If you need an AG speaker who can keep it 100% clean – yet 100% funny – Rik is the guy for you. He also spent 4 years working with Thoroughbred horses. The beautiful (and sometimes stubborn) animals taught Rik to laugh at the things you can’t change. The hours mucking stalls and mowing fields gave him time to “think” and sometimes get into a little mischief. Above all, it gave him time to use his imagination.

“Rik Roberts was great. He connected with our audience immediately and had them laughing from start to finish. We had him start the show dressed as Barney Fife issuing citations to a few of our guests. He was a huge hit and our audience loved him!”
AG Speaker Rik Roberts brought laughs and the law to Moro, OR.

“We had the privilege of having Rik at our Annual Conference where he performed and spoke both as himself and in character as Barney Fife. He did a great job interacting with our attendees outside of the sessions at which he spoke. They all enjoyed the added element his presence brought to the event. His keynote information was very insightful and we got many positive comments on having Rik at our Conference this year. He was a great person to work with both onsite and off and we thoroughly enjoyed having him at our event. Thanks Rik for making our Conference great!”

Beautiful trip to St. George, UT for the Rural Water Association and had time to see a bit of Zion National Park. Pretty scenic!
“The Pick TN Conference thoroughly enjoyed our time with Rik Roberts. His comedy show had our conference attendees laughing all night! On top of that, the next day gave a wonderful leadership workshop! Rik Roberts exceeded our expectations. I will highly recommend you to any group!”
“We had Rik Roberts do a show for about 35 of our producers and their spouses tonight. He did an excellent job. Everyone in the group was laughing. He had some good Ag related material and kept us laughing for over an hour. If we ever want to hire a comedian again we would be happy to hire Rik Roberts.”
“Rik performed at Alabama Farmers Cooperative’s manager’s meeting and did an outstanding job. From his impersonation of Barney Fife during hospitality to his stand-up after dinner, his performance was just what we needed. His humor was very appropriate for our group. From the comments I have received, everyone enjoyed Rik’s performance. We would definitely recommend him for any group.”
What do you get when you cross a stand-up comedian with false credentials? A fake expert on weather prediction! I recently had the opportunity to speak to a group in Palmyra, MO for B. & S. Insurance.
They wanted to through a curveball to the farmers attending the annual meeting. Buy, were they surprised when the “Current Al Roker Award Winner” told them solar energy was burning the paws off of baby squirrels!
Frank Burch had to approach the “expert” and ask him to step aside while he introduced the “comedian” who had just arrived.
This is what the client had to say about the experience …
Rik Roberts was the entertainment for our two annual farmer meetings. His clean comedy was funny and engaging for our diverse group of farmers. In the days since his performance, we have had many calls and compliments thanking us for having such a good speaker. He was wonderful to work with, and our customers enjoyed the show. Rik was probably the nicest speaker on and off stage that we have had in the past 15 years. I would recommend Rik Roberts for any event that wants a truly entertaining comedy show.

Growing up I had the privilege of helping my father out on his Tobacco farm in Lexington, Ky. When that was slow, I took care of the grounds on Dan Issel’s Thoroughbred farm “Cortland”. On both farms John Deere had a hefty presence. So, it was a great feeling to share some laughs and a little “patrolling” with Hiawatha Implement in Mound City, MO and Hiawatha, KS recently.
“Recently, I had the honor of performing for the customers of Hiawatha Implement in KS & MO.
Here is what they had to say about my show, “It’s Funny Now”:
“Rik Roberts was very professional, but also personable. He is a fun guy off stage, too. His Barney imitation was a hit and entering the audience area in an old Cop car let everyone know he arrived. During his stage performance, many folks laughed non-stop. He was a HIT. Later in the show, Rik started some audience participation which was hilarious. We were very well pleased and would recommend Rik for very clean comedy.”
Sometimes you pull up to an event and you can just tell it’s going to be fun. That was the case in Converse, IN recently when I had the privilege of performing for local farmers and clients of Powell Seeds. Powell Seeds is a great, family run business that has served the area farmers for decades. If you live in Central Indiana, you owe it to yourself to call upon Powell Seeds for your corn and soybean needs.
This event was one of my favorites! Who wouldn’t want to perform in front of the folks who provide us with healthy OJ??? Although I am not as ripped as the guy beside me, I don’t know what I would do without orange juice in the morning! Keep up the great work Peace River Valley Citrus Growers!
This all-feather organization has your best interests in mind. This was the second time I had the privilege of speaking to the group. With feed mill managers coming from all across the US, this seminar helps update the members on new regulations, developments and quality control steps.
I was happy to infuse some humor showing how a light hearted moment around the work place can increase productivity, facilitate problem solving and make work a place you want to be. Thanks US PULTRY & EGG!
