ST. LOUIS, MO. (RFD NEWS) — A new series is shining a spotlight on landowners and researchers committed to prairie restoration. Prairie Prophets explores sustainable, climate-smart agriculture and premieres tonight with two special episodes — it all starts on Tuesday, April 7, at 9 PM ET on RFD Network and RFD+
Rudi Roeslein, founder of Roeslein & Associates, joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report for a sneak peek at the new series, Prairie Prophets, hosted by Brandon Butler.
In his conversation with RFD NEWS, Roeslein shared his journey from city life to discovering a passion for wildlife, fishing, hunting, and conservation—an interest that began in his youth in Germany and Austria and continued in the U.S.
Roeslein also discussed the story and mission of Prairie Prophets, emphasizing how prairies contribute to soil health, wildlife preservation, and water management, and explained how the show’s mission aligns with Roeslein’s “Horizon 2 Vision” initiative and highlights practical ways landowners can implement conservation practices.
He emphasized how the show helps landowners understand the programs available to improve soil, water, and air outcomes, and outlined next steps to advance their conservation mission. Finally, Roeslein detailed the USDA grant supporting this work and previewed the visually stunning episodes viewers can expect.
