We're spending a little time this week with our environment reporter, Ellie Katz, who brought us two significant stories in recent days.
First, she'll tell us about Michigan's apple crop. Every year, we have some sort of news about how many fruit growers are harvesting. But this year is really something.
Michigan is on track for another record harvest. And while that's certainly not bad news, it's not great news either.
Then, Ellie takes us to Torch Lake, where mysterious golden brown algae has appeared in recent years. It's not particularly dangerous, but no one's quite sure why it's suddenly thriving.
Researchers are trying to figure it out, and the more answers they seek, the more questions they have.
