Protecting South Dakota farmers from climate disasters

On today's show...

August is Overdose Awareness Month. We talk to two experts with South Dakota’s Division of Behavioral Health about what you can do to help prevent drug overdose deaths.

We look at how the next-generation electrical grid could be smarter. Long Zhao, Ph.D., discusses his research into developing a grid that predicts electrical use to better serve its “prosumers.”

The 2023 farm bill has a lot of ground to cover before the fast-approaching Sept. 30 deadline. That’s when the 2018 farm bill and its funding expire.

U.S. Sen. John Thune talks about how the proposed new bill could help farmers better weather climate disasters.

We visit Medicine Rock’s original resting spot. And we revisit the journey it's been on since it was dropped by a glacier hundreds of millions of years ago.

Plus, Jon Bakken brings us some sounds of South Dakota and the stories of the artists behind the songs. His latest issue of Tiger Meat is out now.
