We bring you a special report and discussion on the challenges faced by West Virginia’s farmers. We also bring you the latest news from the Capitol.

Agriculture has been a part of West Virginia’s economy for hundreds of years, but today, many farmers struggle. Reporter and producer Roxy Todd recently spoke with some of West Virginia’s apple farmers, and some think the state may be overlooking an economic opportunity.
