How can a few acres of prairie make a measurable difference on working farms? This WildAg podcast explores the science behind prairie strips.

In the final WildAg episode of 2025, hosts Andrew Little and Nate Pflueger visited with Jordan Geese, wildlife ecologist and assistant professor of research at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute in Kingsville, Texas, to explore how prairie strips fit into working agricultural landscapes. Drawing from long-term research across Iowa and Nebraska, the conversation highlights how small changes in field design can deliver big benefits for soil, water, wildlife and farm operations — and why prairie strips continue gaining traction with landowners.
