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.

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.
