Monday, March 4

- What could be more political than maple syrup? Not much — at least in Vermont. Today, Vermont Public Radio’s “Vermont Edition” tackles the coming changes to the maple grading system Vermont uses in a segment called “Goodbye Fancy, Hello Golden Color.” Listen live.
Rest of the week after the break…
