—“Advocating for Agriculture, How Do You Defend Your Livelihood?” is the speaker’s topic for the Women in Ag Conference, November 8, 2012, in Salina. The conference will be at 6:30 pm at the Redeemer Lutheran Church at 743 Magnolia, Salina, Kansas. See registration information below.
Debbie Lyons-Blythe, America’s Farmers 2012 Farm Mom of the Year, will be the speaker. She will share her advocacy philosophy to make a difference with the consuming public.
Lyons-Blythe is the day-to-day manager of the family’s ranch and uses Twitter, Facebook, and blogs throughout the day to communicate with consumers about agriculture. Lyons-Blythe works hard to connect with women—specifically moms—to give them a look into how their food is raised. At the same time, she shares stories about her family, their ranch, and even tried-and-true recipes. She blogs at http://kansascattleranch.blogspot.com.
The Conference is sponsored by K-State Research & Extension-Central Kansas District, Saline County Farm Bureau, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, American Ag Credit, and conservation districts.
