Layne Burton is a fourth generation producer who grew up on a cow/calf operation west of Claresholm. In 2022, Layne completed her Bachelor of Business Administration at Mount Royal University and has been working in the Agri-Finance industry since. Layne and her family are currently working on succession planning to ensure the longevity of their operation.
Layne is focused on how economic factors will affect the sustainability of the cattle industry and how we can ensure the financial viability for the next generation. Throughout Layne’s years of 4-H, she learned the value of mentorship, leadership and effective communication. She believes it is important for the next generation to step up and have a seat at the table, while learning from the previous generation of producers.
