Keynote speakers

General session keynote speakers slated for the 2022 American Farm Bureau Convention are sure to inspire and entertain attendees. Inspirational speaker Jim “Murph” Murphy, founder and chairman of Afterburner, will speak during the afternoon general session at the convention on Sunday, Jan. 9. Comedian Jeff Allen will perform on Monday, Jan. 10, during the convention’s closing general session.

Murphy has a unique and powerful mix of leadership skills in both the military and business worlds. Murph joined the U.S. Air Force where he learned to fly the F-15 fighter jet and went from farm boy to fighter pilot in just 16 months. He logged more than 1,200 hours as an instructor pilot in the F-15 and accumulated over 3,200 hours of flight time in other high-performance aircraft. As the 116th Fighter Wing’s chief of training for the Georgia Air National Guard, Murph’s job was to keep 42 combat-trained fighter pilots ready to deploy worldwide within 72 hours. As a flight leader, he flew missions to Central America, Asia, Central Europe and the Middle East.

Allen is in his fifth decade as a working comedian. You may have seen him on “America’s Got Talent,” “Huckabee,” Netflix, Amazon Prime, Pure Flix, Warner Bros., Comedy Central, VH1, Showtime, TBN, CBN, Family Net and numerous other television networks. He can be heard regularly on SiriusXM’s comedy channels, as well as on Pandora and Spotify. He has performed for military troops on aircraft carriers and ships in the Indian Ocean. Look for him on Dry Bar Comedy, where he has surpassed 200 million views on Facebook and YouTube. Allen also produced and starred in his own sitcom pilot for Castlerock Television and in the critically acclaimed film, “Apostles of Comedy.”

American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall will give his annual address to Farm Bureau members during the opening general session of the convention on Sunday, Jan. 9.
