There's some confusion among farmers and SNAP recipients around recent announcements related to federal monies.  Sherry Tussler with the Hunger Task Force in Madison breaks it down.  Governor Evers has secured more federal money, but it will only go to SNAP recipients to spend in grocery stores.  There's no new funding for food banks and their work.  Tussler's hoping farmers and those that depend on food banks, will encourage their elected officials to support a "Wisconsin Badger Box".

Potato chips - they've become a popular snack during the pandemic, and a new source of revenue for an entrepreneur in Milwaukee.  Josh Scramlin explains how one man used his idea for craft potato chips, and turned it into a journey of learning about the states power in potato production, and the wealth of knowledge Wisconsin farmers shared with him.
