The fight to save America's 'seas of grass'

Description: Here & Now's Chris Bentley takes a walk through the Schurch-Thomson Prairie of southwestern Wisconsin with a crew of self-described "plant nerds" who are working to restore the American prairie.

Then, we visit the nearby Paris Family Farm, where cows graze on pasture instead of eating feed. We hear why raising cows on pasture appeals to a growing number of farmers and milk drinkers.

Also, pasture-based farms and restored grasslands can both be part of the solution to environmental problems like habitat loss, freshwater pollution and climate change. But neither is a silver bullet.
