Blazin’ Grazin’ and Other Wild Things is more than a podcast. It’s a record of knowledge, a tool for transformation, and a beacon for those who believe that good land management is as much about community as it is about combustion.
It honors the science while embracing the stories. It respects the past while equipping the future. And in every smoky anecdote, every carefully explained concept, it carries one message: that stewardship isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s a lifelong journey shaped by fire, forage, and a little bit of wildness.
If you haven’t listened yet, now’s the time. Because the land won’t wait. And neither will the next burn window.

Butterflies, Burn Units, and a Broader Vision for NREM with Dr. Jason Harmon
We welcome Dr. Jason Harmon, the new department head of Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Oklahoma State University.
He shares his journey from critter-counting entomologist in Wisconsin to leading the charge on range and wildlife ecology in the Great Plains.
With his background in insect ecology, pollinator conservation, and adaptive land management, Dr. Harmon brings a fresh and multi-disciplinary perspective to the NREM department.
Together with hosts Dr. Laura Goodman, John Weir, and Dr. Mark Turner, we dive deep into the cultural, ecological, and practical challenges of land stewardship.
From the stigma around weedy pastures and the visual expectations of landowners, to the expanding role of prescribed fire and the dynamics of pollinators and milkweed species, this episode offers valuable insight for landowners, extension professionals, and conservationists alike.
Dr. Harmon’s vision for the future of NREM is collaborative, holistic, and rooted in science and service.
