Dakota Midday: Wetlands And Agriculture With Dr. Jake Kerby

Biologist and USD Associate Professor Jake Kerby, Ph.D.,  joins Dakota Midday to discuss a multi-year research project that indicates reduced plant and animal diversity in wetlands that collect water runoff from agricultural land.

Jake Kerby and Dakota Midday host Lori Walsh discuss the impact on the food chain, why research such as this can take years, and the potential impact of his work on policy making in the state.

We also spare a moment to talk music and Dr. Kerby's musical endeavors with The Beards.
