Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Speak Up, Stand Out and Wear a Good Hat with John Brubaker
Q: How did your work with ag youth influence your approach to public speaking?
Working with FFA and 4-H kids showed me that authentic, interactive conversation beats scripted lectures. Teaching them to read audiences, maintain eye contact, and adapt on the fly helped me refine a coaching-for-speaking approach that emphasizes natural dialogue over prepared speeches.
Speak Up, Stand Out and Wear a Good Hat with John Brubaker
Q: Where did you learn the skill set for public speaking and leadership talks?
My journey began in coaching and academia, where I learned to motivate groups, give pep talks, and translate those experiences into talks for adults. A pivotal moment came when a rotary club invited me to speak about leadership, which opened the door to professional speaking and eventually writing about the parallels between sports leadership and corporate leadership.
Buckles, Banners and Building a Farm Future with Brittany and Sierra Hemond
Q: How did you come up with the jackpot show and attract a celebrity judge for it?
Sierra explains that the idea grew from a family discussion about completing the pavilion, with practical planning starting months earlier and a deliberate push to elevate the event by inviting a high-profile judge, which generated additional attention and entries.
Serving Those Who Feed Us: Tommy Higgins Explains FSA County Committees
Q: What kinds of programs do Maine farmers commonly enroll in, and how does enrollment help later decisions?
Common programs include ARC PLC, Dairy Margin Coverage, FSFL, ELAP, NAP, and disaster programs; enrolling or at least reporting acreage ensures access to the full suite of programs and simplifies later enrollment or participation when deadlines arrive.
Serving Those Who Feed Us: Tommy Higgins Explains FSA County Committees
Q: How can farmers participate in county committees and elections?
Farmers must participate or be cooperating with an FSA program (or be enrolled in acreage reporting) to be eligible to nominate, run, and vote; nominations run June 15 to August 3, ballots go out in early November, and votes are due by December 7.
