You may notice that your steaks and ground beef purchases are taking a smaller bite out of your food budget. We find out why beef prices are down in Wisconsin. Starting this month, we will welcome WPR Director Mike Crane or Associate Director and Director of Content Mike Arnold every other month to Central Time. Tune in to hear about exciting WPR projects and events, and to ask questions about programming. And we talk about the first public hearing on Governor Walker’s proposed budget.
