The Prairie Farm Podcast

There's a lot more to this coffee time. More time and more voices. Join us as we discuss what we believe is conservation's next big step: Sharing The Land.

Todd Bogenschutz, Iowa's Upland Wildlife Research Biologist, knows animals. And we sat down to dive deeper into what the fauna portfolio would have been hundreds of years ago and how those have changed.   theprairiefarm.com hokseynativeseeds.com

Today, to most people "getting into farming" means taking out a $10 million loan and farming corn and beans. But our guest today proved that just isn't the case. Fellow prairie-lover, dermestid beetle owner, bison rancher, and entrepreneur Riley Rozendaal walks us through how with some hard work, out-of-the-box thinking, and humility anyone can become a farmer. No more excuses. Hokseynativeseeds.com theprairiefarm.com https://www.facebook.com/iowaprairiebison

This coffee time is more of a lunch listen... We hung out with our friend Lance Brisbois from Iowa Prairie Network, the loess hills, and Golden Hills Resource Conservation. We had a good time. You will too when you listen.

This past winter, we sat down with a leading studier of prairie, Russel Benedict of Central College. He is quite the enthusiasts and helped us understand where prairie came from. You probably heard him in our Prehistoric Prairie Series, but here's the full episode.   hokseynativeseeds.com   theprairiefarm.com

Welp! It's that time again... Grab your Folger's and pull up a chair. It's Coffee Time!

It's finally here! The second episode of The Prehistoric Prairie Series is complete. We are moving forward in time from the last ice age to the establishment of prairie across the midwest and plains states. In this episode we will hear from Dr. Russ Benedict of Central College, Taylor Keen of Creighton University and Sacred Seed, Karen Viste-Sparkman of Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, and Todd Bogenschutz of the Iowa DNR. This team of experts shares information on prairie plants, soils, wildlife, and the people who inhabited the prairies.    Visit the Hoksey Native Seeds Website Visit the Prairie Farm Website Follow Hoksey Native Seeds on Instagram: @hokseynativeseeds   Satanta Quote: Satanta - Kiowa chief.

We're joined by 4 boomers (including Carroll himself) and asked each, "What's the biggest change you've seen in agriculture?" A classic coffee time discussion.
