On Thursday, U.S. Agriculture Sec retary Dan Glickman helped open a new Smithsonian exhibi tion about the North American prairie from its unique mix of flora and fauna to its huge agricultural out put. “Listening to the Prairie: Farming in Nature’s Image,” which opens to the public today, de scribes the evolution of the vast grasslands region as well as the progressive prairie farmers and ranchers who have found inno vative new ways to farm the land and protect the environ ment. Glickman, himself from the prairie state of Kansas said, “The prairies are the heart of America’s bread basket, producing much of the nation’s corn, wheat, and soy beans. I hope this ex hibit helps Americans better understand the vital contribution this region and its people make to the high quality of life we can all enjoy together.” As a member of Congress, GHckman was the lead initial author in the House of Representatives of legislation to create a prairie designation with the national park system. The exhibit will run though March, 2001. It will travel to 20 li braries across the country.
