• How to successfully influence consumer, political, and media groups.
• How to leverage trust in the ag industry to protect your bottom line.

Not only will her lifelong passion and background in agriculture keep your audience on the edge of their seats, Michele’s interactive style may propel them out of their seats. Kickboxing is an audience favorite! This unique motivational keynote is customized to each audience, meaning it’s effective with agribusinesses, farmers, women in agriculture, farm bureaus, or ranchers.

Michele is a professional speaker that motivates participants to share their own passion through stories about life in agriculture.

Audiences appreciate Michele’s unique industry insight. Raised in southern Michigan on a dairy and crop farm, Michele’s commitment to agriculture developed at a very early age and continues on a historical Indiana farm today. She understands the day-to-day challenges faced by farm families after experiencing hardships and tough decisions on her own family’s farm. Michele combines that practical farm knowledge with the business experience of managing relationships with over 250 companies across 15 states and selling to farmers around the world.

Michele’s agricultural programs will inspire your audience to be proactive in making a change for our industry. Michigan Association of Fairs & Exhibitions, Wyoming Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers, and Delaware Women in Agriculture are only a few of the groups who have celebrated agriculture with Michele.
