"Her Vote Counts" ~ Robotic Farming ~ "Mezozoic Masquerade"

Wednesday, October 16 – An art exhibition at the Empire Arts Center in Grand Forks is devoted to women winning the right to vote. It's part of a year-long celebration of the centennial of the 19th amendment, which congress ratified in 1920. The Her Vote Counts exhibition opened with a panel discussion featuring local leaders in the fight for equal rights. We hear from Marilyn Youngbird and former US Senator Heidi Heitkamp. ~~~ For most jobs in farming, there’s probably a robot for that. But as Harvest Public Media’s Christina Stella reports, there’s an age divide when it comes to who wants to use them. ~~~ State paleontologist Clint Boyd is here to invite you to the Mesozoic Masquerade! It’s a fundraising event is to help support the North Dakota Geological Survey public fossil digs.
