March 25, 2024
Gray foxes, the only canine species in North America that can climb trees, are
found across much of the U.S. But over the last two decades, populations in the

reasons behind their shrinking numbers.

   The Great Plains now have ‘wildfire years,’ not seasons, as blazes start and
   spread earlier
   Anna Pope
   , March 18, 2024
   This year, wildfires have already burned thousands of acres in the Great
   Plains. Dry conditions and unseasonably warm temperatures have optimal
   settings for wildfires, and some experts say they are seeing more intense
   fires.

   Raising roosters is big business. Now a push to ease penalties for
   cockfighting is ruffling feathers
   Anna Pope
   , March 18, 2024
   Cockfighting, the practice of fighting roosters, has been around for
   centuries. In the U.S. it’s a federal crime and illegal in all 50 states. But
   in Oklahoma, there’s an effort to lower the penalties for cockfighting that
   breeders say simply protects their right to raise roosters, while animal
   rights groups are calling foul.

   This farmer's livelihood was ruined by PFAS-contaminated fertilizer that few
   Midwest states test for
   March 11, 2024
   Biosolids — a type of treated sewage byproduct from wastewater treatment
   plants — are used as a nutrient-rich fertilizer on farms across the Midwest.
   But a group of toxic “forever chemicals” are slipping through the cracks and

   Nebraska and Maine split their electoral vote. Is it a better system than
   winner-take-all?
   Elizabeth Rembert
   , March 4, 2024
   Every four years, the 2nd Congressional Districts in Nebraska and Maine
   become mini swing states in the presidential election. That’s because those
   states can split their electoral vote by district, instead of giving all the
   votes to the popular vote winner. Does the split vote approach offer a better
   option for the electoral college?

   New USDA 'climate-friendly' farming and ranching practices have yet to be

   Jim Meadows
   , March 1, 2024
   An Environmental Working Group report questions the effectiveness of some
   farming practices that the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently added to
   its Environmental Quality Incentives Program, which incentives conservation
   practices. The USDA counters that the practices have gone through “a rigorous
   science-based evaluation process.”

   Most veterinarians are women, but they still face sexism in rural areas where
   they’re most needed
   February 26, 2024
   Despite the fact that more women are going into veterinary medicine than ever
   before, some female practitioners in rural areas still face discrimination
   and pay gaps — problems experts say the industry will need to overcome to
   fill a shortage of animal care in those communities.
