Bob Stallman (born Robert Stallman on April 21, 1957) is a prominent American agricultural leader, rice and cattle producer from Columbus, Texas, who served as the 11th president of the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) from January 2000 to January 2016. A graduate with honors from the University of Texas at Austin in 1974, he joined his family's farming operation in 1975 and became deeply involved in agricultural advocacy, serving as president of the Texas Farm Bureau for six years before his election to lead AFBF. During his 16-year tenure, Stallman was a key influencer in U.S. farm policy, advocating for farmers' interests and sustainable agricultural practices while opposing certain environmental regulations he viewed as burdensome to rural America. His leadership extended to national policy roles, including appointments by President George W. Bush to the White House Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations (2007) and the Advisory Committee on International Economic Policy (2001). Stallman represented the nation's largest general farm organization, emphasizing agriculture's importance to wealth, morals, and happiness, and received numerous honors including the 2008 Distinguished Texan in Agriculture award from Texas A&M University. After stepping down from AFBF in 2016, he continued to be recognized for his contributions to American agriculture.
