This week on NEWisco Weekend, we celebrate National Farmer’s Day.

Our Cover Story will focus on the way federal changes are impacting food pantries that rely on local farmers for things like dairy and fresh produce. Lisa Hale speaks with Oshkosh Area Community Pantry's Executive Director, Ryan Rasmussen.

Teri Barr has a great feature on the Farmer Angel Network. Melissa Kaye shares how Wisconsin dominates in the cranberry industry. Amanda Nimmer has ideas for helping the farmers and having fun, too. We look at lithium-ion batteries as we wrap up Fire Prevention Week. Pete Schwaba has a musical classic movie pick, and speaking of music, Wagon Roots shares tunes.
