Can Farmer-Founded Fibers Save American Fashion? Cate Havstad-Casad, founder of RangeRevolution leather goods, and Ed Mouw, president of Duckworth wool clothing answered this question in a pre-panel interview at SXSW with Ed Roberson joining in. If Duckworth and Range Revolution are not on your radar screen, and if Mountain & Prairie Podcast isn't in your podcast feed, they should be now. Ed R interviewed Cate and Ed M in a SXSW talk the day after we recorded this preparatory interview. We discuss supply chain challenges, what is fashion, the recent renaissance of wool, and why natural fibers are superior to synthetics (let me count the ways). Go to https://artofrange.com/episodes/aor-153-back-future-american-fibers-cate-havstad-ed-mouw-ed-roberson-sxsw for links and the transcript of this interview.

As we prepare for the beginning of the end aka the final chapter in the saga that is Laura Ingalls Wilder (The Adult Years) and the rest of the Walnut Grove population, we take a look back at how we got here. Get a rundown of the high points and some low points of season 4,5, and 6 as Laura navigated her teenage years. Also included are some of my favorite moments as well my top ten favorite episodes from these seasons....which made it on the list? Lastly, I speculate what might happen in the 7th season. How many stories can they pull from the source material: These Happy Golden Years? Any surprise deaths I should be prepared for? Is this project really almost over? New episodes, Season 7, start on Jan 2nd

We're featuring many special guests and people of the prairie to showcase their stories of connection, diversity, and learning as they pass on their experiences. Thinking of prairie as a tradition is at the heart of our conservation efforts. We all work so hard together because prairie isn't just a thing that's out there on the land living, it is a place where we belong and our memories are shared as the moments we spend become legacies we leave. It is a legacy that connects us through the sounds, sights, smells and memories for all who stop and take notice. On this #prairietuesday, we hope you enjoy the voices of people who share our passion and take a moment to laugh, cry and lose yourselves for a little while in the stories of what prairie offers us: mystery, discovery and hope. We hope these prairie stories warm you up and remind you of golden prairie days outside over the winter ahead.

In part 2 of our 2-part series, Haley continues the conversation with Ken and former MRG broker and host of the Mountain and Prairie Podcast, Ed Roberson, about conservation, culture, literature, art, and most importantly about how two men journeyed from other parts of the country, fell in love with the American West, and became Westerners themselves.  To learn more about Ed and Mountain & Prairie, check out and subscribe to these podcasts and newsletters:Mountain & PrairieGood News from the American WestBook RecommendationsRanchlands PodcastPanel: Haley Mirr, Ken Mirr, and Ed Roberson. Need professional help finding, buying, or selling a legacy ranch, contact us:Mirr Ranch Group901 Acoma StreetDenver, CO 80204Phone: (303) 623-4545https://www.MirrRanchGroup.com/

One of the hardest things to quantify is how much things like clean air, drinkable water, flood control, and healthy soils are worth. How do you quantify the benefit of these ecosystem services and what is the cost when we lose the land that provides them? Arguably, even harder to quantify are the intangible benefits like mental health and well-being, spiritual connections, and a sense of peace one can derive from the prairie. From pheasant hunting to an improved quality of life, we've done the math to help you make dollars and ‘sense' out of the prairie.

We're getting our feet wet in Minnesota's shallow lakes. Coming in at depths under 15 feet these permanent and sometimes semi-permanent water bodies are a critical habitat component for Minnesota's wildlife.

Prairie landscapes are renewable energy rich with all the wind and sun our prairies experience, and renewable energy development can have a big footprint in these landscapes. Today we discuss an emerging trend to develop pollinator-friendly solar energy facilities that also support local agriculture through sheep grazing.

Featuring places near and dear to our hearts: Minnesota State Parks and Trails! We are joined by park managers and naturalists to share the special prairie places in the parks they love. Hear insider tips from the people who know the parks best.

We often talk about diversity above-ground in prairie ecosystems, but this week we'll be going underground to uncover the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the success of prairie reconstructions.

With the tallgrass prairie landscape reduced to just under 2% of its historic range in Minnesota and less than 1% of its range in North America, it is the most endangered ecosystem on this continent. Luckily, practitioners, scientists, and landowners are putting their heads together to come up with solutions to help keep our prairies genetically fit and diverse.

Predators sometimes get a bad rap because they, well, eat the critters we admire. But it's important to understand that they play pivotal roles in the prairie ecosystem. Predators are a key ingredient of prairies.

This special episode is a great jumping on point for new listeners as I get ready to start watching season 4 of Little House on the Prairie for the first time. For long time listeners..it's a "thank you for listening" episode. In this special edition episode find out the origins of this podcast.  Why make a Little House on the Prairie podcast?  What new hobby did you start in the pandemic?  Get a rundown, with high lights and low lights, of seasons 1-3 recapping what the Ingallas clan has experienced so far in Walnut Grove.   I'll also share some of my favorite moments as well as my top 10 favorite episodes of the series so far. Out of three seasons....which have made it to the top? Lastly, As a first time viewer of Little House on the Prairie, I then speculate about what might happen in season 4.  How much of the book series is brought in?  Will we continue some stories/characters from previous seasons? Will time still be an issue in the prairiverse?  New Episodes, a.k.a Season 4, start next week.

On today's podcast, we're featuring people of the prairie to showcase their real life work in the fight to save a landscape that hangs on with just under 2% left in the state. Their special connections show us the joy and power of prairie.

Introductory episode to "Wilder on the Prairie" Podcast. Contains podcast mission and brief introduction from podcast host, Annie Kontor.

Hosts Megan and Mike take the prairie pod on the road and come to you live from the Minnesota State Fair. They share the importance of prairie, what they love about it, and four special places you can discover the prairie after the Fair!

We've been reminded this season that there's wisdom in the land itself. What it's telling us if we're willing to listen. The lesson of diversity there is ever-present and we talk a lot on this show about how plant diversity makes a prairie stronger and more resilient. We can use basically the same logic to show how human diversity can make prairie conservation stronger and more resilient.

On today's podcast, we're talking Climate Change Consequences: how the weather will determine how your prairie weathers. Climate change is a bigger topic than ever today—we're seeing evidence of it around us all of the time—6” rain anyone? No longer can we talk about climate change strictly as a future phenomenon: it's happening now.

Today's podcast is talking about the importance of prairie structure with our very special guest, The Nature Conservancy's Director of Science and Prairie Ecologist, Chris Helzer. Diversity, restoration planning and design, and management choices, all play a role in how we achieve different prairie structures to benefit a wide variety of wildlife species.

Today's podcast is talking about the legacy of restoration in Minnesota. We have two very special guests, Dr. Gina Quiram (DNR Restoration Evaluation Specialist) and Dr. Sue Galatowitsch (Professor, Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology at the University of Minnesota) who have been actively working to evaluate reconstructions. We know they've got the goods on lessons learned, common mistakes, and the future of restoration in Minnesota.

Today's podcast is part 2 of our invasive species support group. If you missed last week's episode go check it out so you can be caught up on how to manage the struggle with smooth brome and Kentucky bluegrass.

Today's podcast is continuing our mental health theme and featuring an invasive species support group. Have you ever struggled with smooth brome or Kentucky bluegrass in your prairies or reconstructions? Well, help is on the way!

On today's podcast we'll be chatting with Verónica Jaralambides, DNR's Marketing Consultant with the Division of Parks and Trails as well as local medical doctor, Ann Vogel where they share with us prairie's importance as a mental health refuge. Need a brain break? This is just the ticket.

Today's podcast is talking about grazing grasslands. Grasslands rely on disturbance for their survival. The challenge is building disturbance back into a landscape that's deeply fragmented. Luckily we have two smart scientists: Kent Solberg (sustainable farming association) and Amber Knutson (DNR Assistant Area Wildlife Manager) to walk us through adaptive management grazing, their successes and challenges, and of course figuring out how to get grazing animals back on the prairie when the historical pattern is largely unknown and some historical grazers no longer roam widely or free.

Today's podcast is talking about a very special occurrence that happened right here in southern Minnesota just outside of the City of Mankato. It's a story of healing, Dakota history, ecology, and restoration of a landscape that has been reduced to just under 2% of its native range in Minnesota.

Today's podcast is talking about ssssnakes! Don't get scared, snakes are a super important part of the prairie. Whether we're talking the fabulous bluff prairies of the east or the majestic expanses of prairie in western Minnesota, snakes are an important piece of what makessss prairies function.

In this episode of the Dumb and Humble Podcast we have another guest, Tim Reeve!

Today's podcast is going to talk about bees! Wait, didn't we just do this one? We did talk about surveying for bees during our last episode, but bees are so important we're covering them again and this time we're going to focus on what you can do on and around the farm to help provide habitat for these winged beasties! We're joined by Karin Jokela with the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation to hear about how she works with farmers and land managers to spread the buzz (literally). For resources and more details related to today's episode, find us on the web at mndnr.gov/prairiepod

Today's podcast is going to talk about bees! They've been in the news, they've been in your garden, and most importantly they're on the prairie! We'll chat with a familiar voice in Invertebrate Ecologist, Jessica Petersen, joined by MBS Bee Survey Specialist, Nicole Gerjets, to hear about their work surveying bees, why these tiny fliers are so busy, and all the incredible things they're doing right under our noses. For resources and more details related to today's episode, find us on the web at mndnr.gov/prairiepod

Today's podcast is going to feature a very special prairie enthusiast, yes, we mean that literally. Prairie enthusiasts are not just people who drive around getting excited any time they see grasses and wildflowers blowing in the wind. They are groups of dedicated individuals who take their personal time to educate, protect, and restore prairie and savanna habitats in the Upper Midwest. In short, they're a prairie army equipped with drip torches, clippers, and knowledge. Just the kind of army you want when you're working to preserve this amazing landscape. We'll chat with prairie enthusiast and Minnesota landowner, Henry Panowitsch, about his experiences with the prairie and how he first fell in love with this incredible landscape.

Too many cookies, chilly weather, and frostbite already have you in a winter funk? Fear not, there's sunshine on the horizon because this is a HOLIDAY BONUS EPISODE of the Prairie Pod. Listen in to hear stories from the field that will warm you right up with the storytellers' love for the prairie and their descriptions of Minnesota's golden season. As always you can find more information about today's episode and all of our previous episodes on our website at mndnr.gov/prairie pod.

Today's podcast is going to talk about prescribed fire! We call it prescribed because even though anyone who does fire management as part of their job loves the thrill of fire, these are controlled burns for the purpose of disturbance-based management. Prairies are a disturbance-based habitat, which means they need disturbance in order to persist. Without it, they will change into a forest or become overgrown with non-prairie species. Joe Blastick (TNC) and Chris Smith (MNDOT) will share their experiences with fire management and how we can use this tool more effectively to achieve healthy, functioning grasslands that have a diversity of wildlife using and living in them. For resources and more details related to today's episode, find us on the web at mndnr.gov/prairiepod

Today's podcast is going to talk about monitoring! It's hard to know where you're going if you don't know where you've been. We all know prairies change through time and that is a normal and natural process-albeit frustrating when you are trying to re-build them! Monitoring plays a key role in understanding what's happening on your site and how that piece of land is being affected by the surrounding landscape. Once you know that, then you have the incredibly difficult job of trying to decide what to do next and sometimes that right next step is the hardest thing of all...having patience while you let nature go through the magic and change of succession. For resources and more details related to today's episode, find us on the web at mndnr.gov/prairiepod

Today's podcast is going to talk about Interseeding! This is the practice of adding wildflowers or other missing guilds to an already established stand of grass. How can we bring lower diversity established stands of grasses up to a higher level of diversity that will ultimately benefit more species and help with grassland function? What we really want here is MORE FLOWERS. For resources and more details related to today's episode, find us on the web at mndnr.gov/prairiepod

Today's podcast is going to talk about everyone's favorite subject: snakes and skinks! That's right, we're going reptile folks and we aren't going back! We'll talk with Nongame Biologist, Lisa Gelvin-Innvaer, Herpetologist, Carol Hall, and Animal Survey Specialist, Jeff LeClere to hear about their work tracking gopher snakes and five-lined skinks in the Minnesota River Valley. For resources and more details related to today's episode, find us on the web at mndnr.gov/prairiepod

In today's podcast we are going to talk about the Native Prairie Bank Easement Program. Did you know if you have remnant prairie (never been broken by a plow) on your land, you may qualify for an easement program that can keep that prairie land for future generations? How awesome is that? More Prairie, More Awesome is what we always say. We'll be chatting with DNR Private Lands Specialist, Rhett Johnson about all the details. You may even get to hear about his magical vest! For resources and more details related to today's episode, find us on the web at mndnr.gov/prairiepod
