Guest Post #1 - Young Stockmen's Academy

Two posts in one day! I have invited my fellow Kansas Livestock Association Young Stockmen's Academy members to share their beef story. I hope you enjoy their background and why they joined the YSA. Wyatt Rundell: I grew up on small farm in western Kansas raising beef cattle. I've been involved in agriculture my entire life. It is my passion and it is my job and my livelihood. That passion is what encouraged me to join the Kansas Livestock Association Young Stockmen's Academy it is a great opportunity to share my story with others and meet others from around the state. The knowledge the program has provided, and the platform this program has given me to share my story with others and learn from others is a wonderful experience I feel that getting the cattlemen's story to the public into the consumer is critical to the continuing success of the beef industry That's why I hope to take what I've learned during the YSA program and use it for the rest of my career to further advocate for the beef industry.
