This interview with Shane Butler, Director of the Chenango County Office of Planning & Development, was recorded by Chenango Voice producer Diane Gallo on June 15th 2020. This was Butler's first day back in the office after the pandemic forced a three month shutdown. That shutdown put enormous pressure on internet service for government operations, hospitals, schools, mental health services, distance workers -- on every aspect of daily life, including the office in charge of helping to expand broadband connectivity within the county. In many instances, the pandemic forced the growth and development of connections to meet emergency needs. This growth highlighted a great need in some parts of the county, where there's still a grave lack of connectivity. In this report, we'll get an overview of where we are, what still needs to be done, and how you can help.

Today's program features a team of agricultural visionaries who have raised “grass” and “grass-fed” to an art form. Their farm is Peaceful by Nature and the farmers are Karen Hoffman and Jack Salo.

And we thought it was just grass. This interview was recorded via Skype on June 11th, 2020 with CV co-producers Betty Bytheway, Diane Gallo, and Miby Kim.

When the food chain breaks, get to know your local farmers! It's mid-May, 2020, and New York State is cautiously moving into Phase I to reopen essential services during the coronavirus pandemic. Disruptions have occurred in the US food supply chain, as meat packing plants and other critical industries struggle with outbreaks of COVID-19. Considering the potential impact of such disruptions on small communities, Chenango Voice thought this would be a great opportunity to focus on the Oxford Farmers Market, which brings local farm products directly to your table. So, our third episode features a conversation with Trellan Smith, one of the organizers of the Oxford Farmers Market.
