Partnership provides surplus experimental produce to food pantries, soup kitchens

University of Wisconsin farm researchers are teaming up with a regional food bank to fight hunger in the state.At the UW experimental garden in Madison, the motto is â??Where Good Ideas Grow.â? Judy Reith-Rozelle supervises the garden, where a variety of fruits and vegetables are grown for research. Reith-Rozelle says giving the crops away to the needy may be their best idea yet, as they always have extra produce and donating it means itâ??s not left in the field to rot. (Fourth item.)
