We peek behind the curtain for this exclusive look at how we gather and tell stories this week with Colleen Krantz. She's been on the road again and has some tales to tell about the new products shipping from the Great Lakes, the resurgence of sunflowers and how a region is helping Native American food sovereignty. We also have a different look of our studio in this discussion. Colleen has information on pulse crops and a collaborative project on suicide with several other public television stations.
