Mark Twain said the Missouri River is too thick to drink and too thin to plow. The Big Muddy doesn't get the kind of attention the Mighty Mississippi does, but it's the longest river in North America and pivotal in the history of our nation. When it was time for Lisa Dill's family to replace the old pontoon boat on Lake Okoboji, her cousins suggested taking it on a journey down the Missouri and giving it away at the end. Dill jumped on board. She wrote about the experience and the river in 'Around the Bend: Floating Down the Missouri River.' Then, school's out for summer, but that doesn't mean we can't still learn. In the first installment of 'Talk of Iowa Summer School,' middle school science teacher Mark Dorhout shares how birdhouses can be a tool to encourage the next generation of citizen scientists.

“The Mississippi River will always have its own way; no engineering skill can persuade it to do otherwise,” said Mark Twain. In this, our final episode marking the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we consider how efforts to control the Mighty Mississippi – a river engineered from its Minnesota headwaters to its Gulf Coast outlet – have responded to the devastating storm, and how New Orleans' relationship to the river has changed. Can the city keep up with the pressure that climate change is putting on this engineered system, or is retreat the only viable response? Plus, a wetland recovery project that aims to bolster protection from hurricanes and flooding in the Lower Ninth Ward. Guests: Boyce Upholt – Journalist and author of “The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi River”  Nathaniel Rich – Author of “Second Nature: Scenes From a World Remade” and the New York Times Op-Ed, “New Orleans' Striking Advantage in the Age of Climate Change”  Harriet Swift – New Orleans resident Andrew Horowitz – Historian, University of Connecticut, author of "Katrina: A History, 1915-2015" Rashida Ferdinand – Founder and Executive Director of Sankofa Community Development Corporation, overseeing the Sankofa Wetland Park and Nature Trail in New Orleans Jason Day – Biologist, wetland Scientist, Comite Resources in Louisiana Descripción en español Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake You can get early access to ad-free versions of every episode by joining us on Patreon.

Ranch dressing. Since time immemorial it has enchanted mankind with its smooth flow and flavor. It is divisive, just as the Mighty Mississippi divides America. "Wings are better with blue cheese," they say. "Fries are better with ketchup," they whine. And sometimes they are right. Well, the ketchup people are. Blue cheese dressing is in fact disgusting and you should feel ashamed of yourself. Sorry. What were we talking about?

SEE CIVICS 101 LIVE AT NHPR's CIVICS 101 SUMMIT ON SATURDAY, SEPT. 28th. CLICK HERE FOR INFO AND TICKETS!THE EVENT IS FREE FOR EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS!For more than two hundred years Americans have tried to tame the Mississippi River. And, for that entire time, the river has fought back. This week we present an episode of our sister podcast Outside/In. Journalist and author Boyce Upholt has spent dozens of nights camping along the Lower Mississippi and knows the river for what it is: both a water-moving machine and a supremely wild place. His recent book, “The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi River” tells the story of how engineers have made the Mississippi into one of the most engineered waterways in the world, and in turn have transformed it into a bit of a cyborg — half mechanical, half natural. In this episode, host Nate Hegyi and Upholt take us from the flood ravaged town of Greenville, Mississippi, to the small office of a group of army engineers, in a tale of faulty science, big egos and a river that will ultimately do what it wants. Featuring Boyce Upholt CLICK HERE: Visit our website to donate to the podcast, sign up for our newsletter, get free educational materials, and more!

“Both engines died instantly, the hit was so hard. I immediately just kind of lay down on my bed because I knew how bad the impact was going to be. It threw my bed all the way across the room, dresser laid over, refrigerators downstairs on the floor - it was a hard impact.” Captain Doicus Langley Jr. joins Sandy and Sandra on the podcast today to share details of this perilous moment and so much more as he recounts his journey from a water-loving childhood to becoming a seasoned push boat Captain on the Mississippi River. Along the way, he discusses the contrasting experiences of working on rivers versus open water and the unique challenges of river navigation. Reflecting on the evolving technology in tugboat operations, Captain Langley describes the logistics of moving cargo from Minnesota to New Orleans as well as the immense horsepower required for steering and speed. After highlighting the competitive nature of the maritime industry and the collaborative spirit among river captains, this very special guest draws the episode to a conclusion with some valuable advice for aspiring captains, underscoring the dedication needed for a successful career in river navigation. Episode Highlights: Captain Langley Jr.'s upbringing and early love of being on the water His perspective on working on rivers vs. open water Becoming a Captain The evolution of tug operation over the years Tugs and barges The competitive side of the industry Moving a load from Minnesota to New Orleans A tug's horsepower, steering, and speed Navigating the Mississippi's hazards Running aground The Captain's worst incident His crew and its work dynamic His relationship with other Captains Advice for aspiring tug or push boat Captains Key Takeaways: "Not only does a good cook cook good food, they can be the person who kind of holds everything together because they're down there in the center of the whole boat." "Typically, people that start in the river industry stay there.” "Within a five year period, you can be sitting in the wheelhouse running a boat, maybe not as a captain, but as a pilot." "The southbound vessel proposes the place and manner of passing, while the northbound vessel has more control." "You have to, at some point in your career, be able to dedicate yourself to the boat while you're on the boat." “It can be great. I mean, it really is like a family away from home. It can also be as bad as you can imagine like a squabbling family at home, you know, like, you're having issues. So it can go both directions.” “There's definitely a huge need for people out on the river for merchant mariners in general.” Keep the adrenaline rush going at: Homepage: theadrenalinezone.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theadrenalinezone/ X: https://twitter.com/Adrenalinezonep TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theadrenalinezone  Captain Doicus Langley Jr.'s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doicus-r-langley-Jr.-24b25b95/

At least two charter schools in New Orleans held their final graduations this past spring. One of them - the Living School in New Orleans East - was known for its unique approach to education. Instead of focusing on test scores, it promoted equity, community and project-based learning. But state assessments recently gave the school an “F” ranking on standardized tests. Still, leaders and parents of students have fought to keep it open. Reporter Nate Ha covered that fight - and joins us for more about the school. The New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane is presenting “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged.” This show is a comical journey through all 37 of the bard's plays in just 90 minutes.

AgEmerge Podcast Episode 136 is dedicated to David Brandt, of Brandt Farms and Walnut Creek Seed. If you know your soil health, no-till history, and follow the leaders in these areas then you know how fortunate we were to get to visit with David before his passing. Watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/Hmsi9yDDtbM We lost David in a tragic vehicle accident on May 21st, 2023. Earlier that year he'd made a 2023 visit to Sinsinawa Mound in Wisconsin, where the Sinsinawa River begins its 21-mile journey to the Mighty Mississippi. He recognized the Mound as a place where this message of holistic land stewardship could flourish. He planted the seed. This vision has taken root at Sinsinawa Mound in Southwest Wisconsin. Aptly named Fields of Sinsinawa: A Farmer-Led Learning Center, brings the message of healthy soil for a healthy planet to the Midwest and beyond. David is often referred to as the “godfather” of conservation agriculture and soil health. His message has had worldwide impact. He mentored many farmers who admired his practical approach and the ways he generously shared what he learned from the soil during his 50-year farming career. You'll find more information on how to connect with the Fields of Sinsinawa: A Farmer-Led Learning Center here: https://mcusercontent.com/d34a1e6b8b607f4dc0d40fa39/files/eb5a6547-135e-e5f2-cea2-5ac0f4d75e45/Fos_Funding_Packet_d9.pdf Donate to the Fields of Sinsinawa: A Farmer-Led Learning Center here: https://mcusercontent.com/d34a1e6b8b607f4dc0d40fa39/files/d4beeef8-68e3-3555-c5db-5a7b19a20fd3/FoS_Donation_Sheet.pdf More about David's Farming Legacy: David had been no-tilling since 1971, back when they called it trash farming and a whole list of other things. But David would not be deterred, he continued to test systems, implemented cover crops and utilized livestock to improve soil health. Listen in to this great conversation as he and Monte talked about the history, the present, and the exciting future on their farm. David Brandt farmed 950-acres all no-till, in Fairfield County, which is located in central Ohio. He began no-till farming in 1971 and had been using cover crops since 1978. David participated in yield plots for corn, soybeans, and wheat into various covers. This information has been used by seed growers as well as county agents and universities to encourage other farmers to adapt no-till practices in their farming operations. He had also been planting various blends of cover crops to find out what benefits they provide to improve soil health. David was co-owner of Walnut Creek Seeds, LLC with his son and daughter-in-law Jay and Ann Brandt. David had articles published in Farm Journal, Ohio Farmer, Country Journal, and numerous no-till journals. He worked in cooperation with The Ohio State University, the University of Illinois, Penn State University, Purdue University, and Milan Research Farm in Tennessee. David was most recently working with OSU Randall Reeder and Dr. Islam on reducing input costs of fertilizers and herbicides using various cover crops which improve soil health. The results of this study have been published in the International Soil and Water Conservation Research journal. (March 2014, Vol. 2, No. 1) He was also working with the regional NRCS soils lab in Greensboro, North Carolina on the benefits of cover crops to improve soil health. www.walnutcreekseeds.com Got questions you want answered?

This week we are talking with Matthew Hengst about him and his girlfriend Jen's summer adventure paddling down the entire Mississippi River from it's Source in Minnesota to the sea down in Louisiana!! This one is EPIC!! Through their adventure they battled giant oil ships, river alligators, lightning storms, flooding campsites, and much much more!! As someone who grew up in a town on the banks of the Mississippi I was completely fascinated by Matthew's tales. This is pure adventure at it's core and it is such a unique experience that traveling down the river captures the imagination. It also shows how adventure let's you experience a place at a deep level. Matthew taught me things about the Mississippi that only one who has traversed it over months could know. It seemed like truly a beautiful if not often brutal experience! Enjoy!!

There's a growing legal movement across the globe to grant natural entities like forests and rivers the same legal rights as humans. And it's catching on in the US. As Juanpablo Ramirez Franco with the Mississippi River Basin Ag and Water Desk reports, Indigenous-led campaigns to recognize the legal rights of natural entities like wild rice, salmon and lakes are setting the stage for a nascent movement on the Mighty Mississippi. The talk is already heating up in this fall's gubernatorial race here in Louisiana, with fundraising in full swing and attack ads already on the airwaves. Now, a group of Louisiana's largest public affairs organizations are setting out to educate not just the voting public – but also the candidates themselves – about the issues important to the state. Barry Erwin, president and CEO of Council for a Better Louisiana, tells us more about this nonpartisan effort from RESET Louisiana.  Community college enrollment may be on the decline nationwide, but Louisiana schools are bucking this trend. W. Chandler LeBoeuf, Governmental and Public Affairs Officer for the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, tells us why and explains how this benefits the state's higher education system. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz. Our engineers are Garrett Pittman and Aubry Procell.  You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at 12:00 and 7:30 pm.

Arkansas farmers are still recovering from one of the worst droughts in recent decades on the Mississippi River. Dry weather across the United States over the summer caused the Mighty Mississippi’s water levels to dip so low this fall that thousands of barges got stuck in the mud, halting trade on one of America’s most vital waterways. The timing of the drought coincided with the height of harvest season for farmers, causing potentially big losses for those who didn’t have storage for crops that could not be loaded onto barges. At Poinsett Rice & Grain’s port near Osceola, more than a hundred trucks — double the usual number – have been arriving daily this December to try to offload crops that weren’t shipped earlier this year. Water levels are higher now but the fallout from the drought will be felt for months as farmers, and the supply chains responsible for transporting their goods, recover losses. Capitol & Scott visited Poinsett Port where Jeff Worsham, port manager, discusses how the extreme weather event continues to impact business. Hunter Biram, an assistant professor and agricultural economist with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, also joins the show to discuss what 2022’s historic drought means for commodity markets now and in years to come.

The extremes of climate change are wreaking havoc on the Mississippi. Over the past two months, this critical waterway has seen below average rainfall. In some places, water levels haven't been this low for more than 30 years. NPR's Debbie Elliot explains how that is helping the salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico push upriver, threatening municipal and commercial water supplies.Then Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco and Eva Tesfaye, of The Mississippi River Basin Ag and Water Desk, show us how life on the river can be just as hard when climate change produces too much water. In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Jamie talks with Al Giese, a farmer in O'Brien County, Iowa, where record-setting land prices are the talk of the area.

Barges heading down the Mississippi River carry most of the United State's soy beans, corn and other crop exports to a global market. But, the river's role as a trade superhighway goes back hundreds if not thousand of years. In his new book “Life on the Mississippi” best-selling author Rinker Buck writes about floating from Pittsburgh to New Orleans in a wooden flat boat, following the same water routes taken by thousands of flatboats that carried goods downstream in the 19th century. MPR News guest host Chris Farrell talks with Rinker and a local river historian about the forgotten history of the flatboat era, modern river communities and why so many of us love the Mighty Mississippi. Rinker Buck is the author of “Life on the Mississippi: An Epic American Adventure” and is the New York Times bestselling author of “The Oregon Trail.” He lives in Tennessee. John Anfinson retired in 2021 as the superintendent of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, a national park focused on the 72-mile stretch of the river as it flows through the greater Twin Cities. He's been researching, writing and speaking about the upper Mississippi River for over 35 years.

And now for something different:Fall 1983 Southern University A & M Baton Rouge, LA. Off the Mighty Mississippi river, the dorm was William James Hall. The room was 219. Floating out for this room was an abundance of jazz, day and night. Depending on what time of day it was and who was manning the cassette player would decide what tunes you could here. Entering the room was class time. Even if it was not an official class, there were lessons to be learned. Influenced by Detroit's legendary WJZZ, the instructors would pass around knowledge. From funky to smooth, from traditional to vocalese, it was played in 219. Here is a tribute to those instructors that lived in 219 William James and the knowledge that they pass to us.The Essence: Deodato: Also Sprach ZarathustraThe Crusaders: Rodeo Drive (High Steppin')George Benson: California Dreamin'Grover Washington Jr: Soulful StrutThe Rippingtons: Indian Summer (feat.
