Multi-Grade Classes in Ashley ~ Tom Isern on Hunting ~ Hops as Crop ~ Rabbit Raising

Tuesday, January 22 – In an excerpt from the Cutting Ed podcast, we learn about a multi-grade classroom collaboration in Ashley, North Dakota, with students of different age groups working together. Host Tom Gerhardt visits with teachers Jessica Schmidt and Wendy Bichler. ~~~ Tom Isern shares a Plains Folk essay, “The Venison Chronicles.” ~~~ In recent years, hops have sprouted on farms across the U.S. As Harvest Public Media’s Esther Honig reports, there were high hopes that the hops would feed a booming craft beer market, but that’s now leveled out. ~~~ Speaking of niche crops, how about rabbits?  We visit with Alison Brennan, a co-owner of Red River Valley Rabbitry.
