About Matt Rush
Matt’s roots in agriculture are deep. He’s the 5th generation in his family to be a farmer and cattle rancher. Since the time he was a child this is all that he ever wanted to be and he’s never wavered from that dream. His family has been farming and ranching in New Mexico since the early 1900’s and he currently partners with his dad on their cow/calf and farming operation. The first speech he ever gave was the FFA Creed, where he ended up winning second in the state and his first “Blue and Gold” jacket. Since that time, he’s gone on to win numerous awards and has traveled nationally and internationally motivating, entertaining and inspiring his audiences.
To this day, the only thing that Matt is more passionate about than farming and ranching is reminding people everywhere that American Agriculture is the best in the world and that those of us in agriculture MUST reintroduce ourselves to the American public and the Nations of the world.
In Matt’s own words, “There never has been, nor will be, a story that I love to tell more than that of American Agriculture. I’m proud to tell people that I’m doing the same thing that my grandfather’s grandfather did and we’re better now then we’ve EVER been!”
