Nebraska Stories: Greening of the Dust Bowl Ep. 103
November 15, 2009
Beginning with highlights from the documentary "The Plow That Broke the Plains," we revisit the effects of the Dust Bowl on Nebraska. We then discover how the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture helped salvage the devastated land in the late 1930s. Today, the University is leading the world in groundwater research including new ways of seeing drought endangered areas through satellite infrared imagery.
