WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Tuesday, April 5. Our top story covers understaffing at the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. You’ll also hear about an effort to boost business for underserved farmers and ranchers in Greater Peoria. WCBU’s Tim Shelley interviews two administrators from the Illinois Department of Agriculture about how the Local Food Purchasing Agreement acts as a conduit to connect food producers with potential clients, including some government contracts – from local schools to the Department of Corrections. On Deck is produced by WCBU student intern Holden Kellogg.
