That’s according to Veronica Rueckert and Rob Ferrett’s guest, who says we need to focus less on incarceration and more on rehabilitation. Veronica and Rob also discuss an FDA decision about wooden boards in the cheese aging process, and learn about an archaeological dig in Trempealeau, and how the community is getting involved.
