Brityne Ruckerš
You were one of the first to welcome me to the
ā12 News This Morningā team with open arms!
So sad to see you go, but excited to cheer you on in your next adventure!š¤š¾
A bittersweet life update: After a lot of thought, prayer, and reflection, Iāve made the decision that my last day at KWCH will be June 2nd.
This truly wasnāt an easy decision because Kansas, and especially the agriculture community, has shaped so much of who I am. Over the last almost 6 years, Iāve had the privilege of telling stories that truly mattered.
Iām incredibly proud to have created Kansasā #1 local ag show and to have produced and anchored more than 250 episodes over the past 5 years. Iām so proud of so many things I accomplished during my time at KWCH 12, including helping raise nearly $2 million for ag wildfire relief efforts and more than $100,000 for Kansas FFA.
The stories that mattered most to me were often the ones that couldāve easily been moved on from or forgotten after the headlines faded. Thatās why it was always important to me to use storytelling as a way to truly support and make a difference in the ag community and the people behind it. Thatās what I stand behind, and ultimately, what matters most to me.
Iām genuinely excited for whatās ahead and to see where life, storytelling, and the ag industry takes me next. I still have a huge passion for creating meaningful content, telling stories that matter, and building relationships in this space and I have a feeling this is only the beginning of whatās to come!
And yesā¦ I definitely wonāt miss those 2 a.m. alarm clocks. š
To everyone who has watched, supported, answered my countless interview requests, trusted me with your stories, or simply encouraged me along the wayā¦ thank you. Truly. Your kindness and support have meant more than Iāll ever be able to put into words, and Iāll always be grateful for you. This not a goodbye, but rather a see you later.š¤
