The science of monitoring our climate with guest Daryl Ritchison

Monitoring our region's rainfall, soil moisture and scores of other data points is a crucial job for our region's agriculture, and it falls to Daryl Ritchison. In this episode, Daryl joins Don and John to discuss his roles as director of the North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network and the state climatologist for the state of North Dakota. His work provides insights for our region's agricultural economy, but much of it applies to our gardens as well.
