Podcast appearances and mentions of debbie lyons blythe

Senior Farm and Ranch Broadcaster, Ron Hays, got the chance to visit with Kansas rancher and chairlady of the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, Debbie Lyons-Blythe, talking about individual’s roles in beef sustainability regardless of their place in the beef value chain.

Everything we eat has a direct impact on the environment. Debbie Lyons-Blythe is a cattle rancher from Kansas and has been working on sustainability for years. She is the chairman elect of the US Roundtable for Sustainable Beef. Debbie highlights how beef is good for the environment. Cattle sequester carbon from land that cannot be used for anything besides grazing. She calls on dietitians to overcome the misinformation about meat - people have been bullied to believe that going vegan for a day will. This rancher also touches on concerns around early puberty and development. A mom herself, Debbie understands concerns about girls developing early and highlights the science that shows caloric intake has led to that. She shares the process of why hormones and antibiotics are used - and how your food is safe. She wants RDNs and consumers to know "Ranchers care! We spend our entire life doing the right thing for cattle and the land." Debbie works daily to help give people insight about how beef is really raised and finds all of the misinformation about methane, hormones, and antibiotics in beef disheartening.

Kansas cattlewoman, Debbie Lyons-Blythe is now chair-elect of the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef in order to make sure the cattle producers are at the table when environmental and animal activists begin pointing fingers.

In this episode of the podcast we visit with Debbie Lyons-Blythe, a White City, Kansas cattle producer and the incoming Chair of the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.  Mrs. Lyons-Blythe talks to us about how the roundtable works to help farmers and ranchers analyze their operations and work to improve their profitability while protecting our natural resources base.

On this episode of Beltway Beef, Debbie Lyons-Blythe—a rancher from central Kansas—talks about conserving the land that has been in her family for over 130 years. Debbie discusses how farmers and ranchers are the original conservationists, but their conservation methods are not stuck in the past. As new generations have taken on management roles on the farm, the technologies and practices they use have allowed them to continue to take care of the land and conserve natural resources in the most effective way.

Troy and Stacy Hadrick and Debbie Lyons-Blythe are known for the high quality beef they produce. You don't have to take my word for it, if you google their names you'll find videos, articles and stories all about their ranches. Both of their families have been raising cattle for 5 generations and they are proud to be a part of the Certified Angus Beef brand. I got to sit down with them as a guest to the CAB conference in Asheville, NC. They invited me out to cover the event and talk to the people involved in the brand. I'll tell you right now that it was so much more than I expected. We all stayed in a giant hotel in the mountains and were treated to all kinds of interesting programming. After shaking hands and rubbing elbows with the people of CAB I know a lot more about the brand. I'll be sharing the information I learned and stories from all the amazing people there for the next few weeks. I worked hard to cover different aspects of the people and the companies that are using the CAB brand. It's a deeply interesting group of people and I'm truly excited to follow up with them on a ton of topics. I know y'all will have a ton of questions to ask after this one so feel free to send me a message, email, text or tweet. I'll make sure to answer them in follow up episodes.
