A historian shares some of Wisconsin connections to the movement to affirm women’s right to vote. Then we learn about an Appleton-based small-scale farming project to help provide Rusk County residents with healthy and affordable food options. And a meteorologist walks us through what we’ve seen so far, and what we can expect yet this year when it comes to hurricanes.
