Guest Speaker:
John Phipps, Commentator

John Phipps is, like most farmers today, not what you expect. He holds a degree in chemical engineering, studied economics, and served as a submarine nuclear engineer, all of which contribute to his unique perspective on rural culture.
 
Since 1994 he has written award-winning humor and commentary for Farm Journal and Top Producer magazines.
 
From August 2005 until October this year, John was the TV host of US Farm Report. He now adds commentary from his farm every week.
 
In conjunction with his Farm Journal work, he speaks often to farm and rural groups on topics ranging from risk to professional development.
