Kansas Rancher and MBA Grad Featured in Girl Scouts Video

By Cristina Llorens, NCBA Communications

Debbie Lyons-Blythe, a mother, cattle rancher and Master of Beef Advocacy graduate, was recently featured in a video released by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA). The video is part of a series called, “It’s Your Business - Run It,” which highlights women across the country who had a dream of running their own business, and made it happen.

In the video, Lyons-Blythe goes into detail about her life as a cattle rancher. She speaks to her family's dedication to animal care and welfare, environmental stewardship and the 24/7/365 rewarding hard work that goes into cattle farming and ranching. Debbie is also an active blogger, frequently updating her blog, Life on a Kansas Cattle Ranch.

The video was made possible due to the relationships built through Checkoff-funded programs. Staff from GSUSA attended the “Explore Beef Experience Work Day,” hosted by the Checkoff-funded Issues Management team.
