Meet Ray Starling
Ray Starling is author of the book “Farmers Versus Foodies”, in which he shares his thoughts on our food value chain and the future of farming and ranching in the United States and beyond. The Book is an Amazon best-seller and has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
Starling is a North-Carolina-based attorney, where he works as general counsel of the NC Chamber.
