The entire state has seen more frequent heavy rainfalls, and that's posing a threat to one particular crop - wild rice. On Friday, Aug. 31, Hear Me Out featured interviews with Bad River Tribal Council Member Dylan Jennings and Emily Nelis, of the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC). The two talked about the significance of wild rice to Anishinaabe people and what's stressing the crop. The program also featured GLIFWC wildlife biologist Peter David on how the wild rice crop is faring this year. Steve Vavrus, a senior scientist with the Nelson Institute Center for Climactic Research at UW-Madison, spoke about what's behind the increase in heavy rains over the past several decades. Host Danielle Kaeding reported on a Northland College project that aims to slow storm water runoff and reduce erosion. Listeners can hear the program online at www.wpr.org/superior.
