Event Speakers & Panelists

Mike Pearson

From the farm all the way to the anchor desk, RFD’s Mike Pearson has had quite the journey.

Born in South Central Iowa, Mike grew to love agriculture on his family’s hog and cattle operation. After graduating from Simpson College, he moved to Grinnell, Iowa, where he had the chance to build his own cow herd in addition to working as an agricultural lender.

Over the next 10 years, Mike left the world of finance and entered the world of media. He previously hosted “Market to Market” on Public Television as well as the Ag News Daily podcast; currently, viewers can find him hosting “This Week in Agribusiness” on RFD-TV.

Rob Sharkey

Rob Sharkey is not your average 5th generation Illinois grain farmer.

Better known as the SharkFarmer, he’s a risk-taker and out-of-the-box thinker who believes everyone has a story to tell. With his authentic interview style, ability to tackle controversial issues and willingness to share the triumphs and struggles of the modern farmer and business owner, he’s brought out the unfiltered truth in those stories — and audiences have noticed.

Appearing on Sirius XM, PBS, Acres TV and RFDTV’s SharkFarmer TV (11 seasons and counting!), Rob and his work have resonated with some 2.9 million weekly listeners around the world.
