Photos: Harvesting native Minn. prairie species

The fall harvest is under way at Prairie Restorations, Inc. in Princeton, Minn., where more than 100 native plant species are grown and sold. The business, which was started by two brothers in 1977, specializes in the supply and support of native prairie, wetland, woodland and shoreline plant communities. Owner Ron Bowen said the company restores about 1,500 acres of prairie a year and produces seed for roughly 5,000 acres of prairie a year.
