The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Frederica Freyberg:

Surrounded by Democrats and Republicans, Governor Tony Evers signs the shared revenue bill into law. Meanwhile, Republicans unveil their big plans for tax cuts. And desperate for rainfall, more heat and dry weather puts farmers on edge.

I’m Frederica Freyberg, tonight on “Here & Now,” we preview the 2023 Farm Bill with Congressman Derrick Van Orden, and one farmer shares his struggles with the current growing season. A childcare provider braces for a funding gap, and a look at whether summer school attendance has rebounded. It’s “Here & Now” for June 23.
