Farm Bureau Scores Big with Keynote Speakers

Peyton and Archie Manning will keynote the 2017 American Farm Bureau Federation annual convention and IDEAg Trade Show closing general session on January ninth in Phoenix. A future Hall of Fame quarterback, Peyton has championed numerous charitable organizations and foundations to make an impact in his community. The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterbacked for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. AFBF President Zippy Duvall called Manning, “A model of success, with a strong work ethic and a proven track record of helping others.” Peyton’s father, Archie, is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame after an outstanding career at the University of Mississippi. He led his team to the national championship game and finished in the top four of Heisman Trophy voting twice. The second overall draft pick in 1971, Archie played for the New Orleans Saints, Houston Oilers, and Minnesota Vikings. “Our convention is like a reunion for agriculture and the Farm Bureau family,” Duvall said, “so we’re excited that father and son Archie and Peyton will join us and share some of their family stories with us.”
