Starling is a North-Carolina-based attorney, where he works as general counsel of the NC Chamber. He grew up on a Century Family Farm in southeastern North Carolina and credits that experience as having more to do with his career path than any other influence or opportunity. His parents continue to farm, as does his eldest brother.
Oklahoma Farm Bureau invites OKFB members and agriculture community friends to attend the 2023 OKFB Ag Defense Fundraiser at the Mayo Hotel in Tulsa Saturday, Dec. 9.
The event begins with a cocktail hour at 6 p.m. with a dinner beginning at 7 p.m. in the Mayo Hotel Parlor Room featuring author Ray Starling, who will discuss his book “Farmers Versus Foodies,” which looks into Modern Food Systems and the future of farming.
After dinner, Starling will be available for a VIP meet-and-great for $50 per person where attendees can visit with the author and get a signed copy of his book.
Tickets for the ag defense fundraiser are $250 per person. Table sponsorships of $2,500 are also available, which includes eight seats and two books autographed by Starling. Payment can be made at the door, or Farm Bureau members can be choose to be invoiced for the amount after the event.
Space for the fundraiser is limited to 90 people. Individuals, groups or organizations wishing to attend must RSVP using the form below.
Funds raised during the evening will support involvement in the political sphere to defend production agriculture from threats that seek to limit the ability of Oklahoma’s farm and ranch families to produce food, fiber and fuel in our state.
