MONTPELIER | The “first-of-itskind” Northern Tier Dairy Summit was held April 1-2 at Vermont’s Jay Peak Resort. The event was attended by 240 participants with 115 dairy farmers present from across New England. The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets (VAAFM) organized and convened the summit to develop actionable next steps to help a dairy industry impacted by a fifth year of record low prices, a volatile export market and an oversupply of milk. The final working sessions asked participants at each table to develop action items based on their priority and time frame for completion. » Dairy summit Cont. on pg. 2
