SUMMARY:“Drowning in Dirt” traveling exhibit Feb 2-April 30 at Mead Museum
DESCRIPTION:Traveling Exhibit\n\nopening\n\nFeb 2 through April 30\n\n \n\nDrowning in Dirt:\n\nJoseph Hutton and the Dustbowl\n\nA soil scientist's quest to save the farmer by preserving the land\n\n\n\nJoseph Hutton\, one of the first soil scientists of South Dakota\, brought a new concept to the state: not all soil was the same. And different soils required different farming practices in order to be sustainable. \n\n \n\nWhen Hutton arrived at South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (now South Dakota State University) in 1911\, he studied the negative effects of farming practices of the day which depleted the soil nutrients and caused erosion.\n\n \n\nHutton's views on soils were a contradiction to common knowledge at the time\, and he predicted the dust Bowl 20 years before it happened!\n\n \n\nThis exhibit utilizes Hutton's photography\, poetry\, speeches\, and research notes to illustrate the devastation the drought had on farmers of the 1920s and 1930s in South Dakota through the eyes of a soil scientist.\n\n \n\nThe exhibit will feature Yankton County Artifacts from the 1930s. \n\n \n\n"Drowning in Dirt" traveling exhibit was created in 2022 by the South Dakota Agricultural Museum of Brookings in partnership with the SD Humanities Council. \n\n \n\nThe Mead Museum is open Monday-Saturday noon to 4pm. Admission is $10 for adults\, $8 for 65+ and $5 for youth.
