S1:E4 RESTORATION WITH RUTH RABINOWITZ
from Iowa Prairie Documentary Project Hosted by Ruth Rabinowitz, Jay Siebold, Anthony Arnone, Charlie Morris
Thanks for tuning in to Episode 4, of the Iowa Prairie Documentary Project where you can sit back and enjoy a really fantastic interview with Ruth Rabinowitz of Oxbow Farms. This episode is being released as a podcast and in video format. If you’d like to go straight to the video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/-Fk1DGCN_Lk I’d like to briefly mention why these episodes exist at all…the worst part about making a documentary film is when you interview folks that have a lot of deep knowledge…and only about 3 minutes of a 2 hour long interview ever make it into the final movie. The rest is never seen or heard again. I decided early on with this project that i didn’t want that to happen. So as I am working on crafting the movie I will be releasing entire interviews for anyone to listen to and learn from well ahead of the movie release. This Episode with Ruth was recorded on October 6th, 2025. Huge thanks to Ruth Rabinowitz of Oxbow Farms for her time and patience with my many questions.
