Testimonials: what they are saying . . .
AMERICAN FARM BUREAU EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT Dale Moore
Whether presenting to officials and business leaders at the highest levels or sitting down and sharing insights with junior staffers just getting their start, Ray’s sincerity and positive attitude makes everyone feel he has their back while putting a smile on their faces. And in my experience working with Ray, it ain’t just a feeling, he indeed does have my back. Ray Starling is that all-too-rare individual who showed up in DC with brains, tenacity, and a truckload of common sense - all delivered with the charm and humor - that pulls folks together to achieve real results.
IDAHO STATE FFA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CLARA-LEIGH EVANS
Ray connected with every participant in our event - from middle and high school FFA members to business owners, teachers, parents, and policy makers. He exceeded our organization’s expectations by not just providing a thoughtful, sometimes hilarious keynote, but also engaged in workshops and round table events bringing together our state’s leaders and helping them connect. Ray’s humble, brilliant ability to bring people together for the common good was on full display!
Talented. Knowledgeable. Passionate. Those are just three words that come to mind when I think about Ray Starling. As a presenter, he never fails to deliver an engaging speech that enlightens and entertains. I would highly recommend him for your next event.

IDFA PRESIDENT and CEO MICHAEL DYKES, DVM
Ray Starling is such a caring, genuine and intelligent person that has never forgotten his rural North Carolina “roots“! He values faith, hard work and honesty, all of which are evident upon the first few minutes of any conversation with - or presentation from - Ray. He connects so well with any audience and truly values and respects the views and concerns of others. He is just a wonderful human being with an abundance of common sense, integrity, and wit.
Jay Vroom, retired CEO of CropLife America and Chairman of the Trust in Food Advisory Board:
Few Americans are called to serve at the highest levels of our Federal government, fewer still accomplish a great deal when doing so. Ray Starling has done both very early in his career—leaving room to add considerably to that accomplishment resume in the years ahead. Why do a few have so much success? In Ray’s case he’s not afraid of hard work, he seeks out tough assignments and can brings solutions and people together. He has the ability to communicate those ideas in clear and persuasive ways. His value proposition to audiences—especially ag audiences—is second to none.
