Funny Speaker for Farmers Rik Roberts
Bringing Humor, Insight, and Energy to Farming Conferences
Need a funny Agricultural Speaker? Let me help! I spent 18 years working in tobacco in central Kentucky and in the off months tended the grounds on a Thoroughbred Farm. I totally understand the hard work and resilience it takes to be part of the Ag community. The long hours, uncertain weather, and demanding seasons can test anyone’s sense of humor—but that’s where I come in. As a funny keynote speaker for the agricultural industry, I blend humor, relatable storytelling, and motivational insight to help audiences recharge, reconnect, and laugh together.
From dairy farmers to ag tech innovators, I understand what drives your world: family legacies, harvest cycles, unpredictable markets, and the pride of producing real results. My clean comedy connects with everyday life on the farm while inspiring audiences to embrace teamwork, adaptability, and optimism.
Why Agricultural Audiences Love My Keynotes
- I am a member of the National Speaker’s Association and adhere to their code of conduct.
- Customized humor: At every event I have the opportunity to highlight members of your unique audience by having “Barney Fife” arrest them for various offenses. From working too hard, to leaving first on Friday, to anything you want to celebrate or poke fun at, Fife always hits a home run. Whether it’s a Dairy Association event, Cattlemen’s Banquet, or CO-OP annual meeting this is a lot of fun and makes the event more memorable.
- Relevant stories and examples that resonate with the Rural community at all levels.
- Positive, family-friendly energy: No crude jokes, just laughter that brings people together.
- A memorable message: Attendees leave inspired, motivated, and still smiling as they head back to the farm, field, or corporate boardroom.
