Organic Farming
Vermont's farming is facing challenges:
​
-
Economic problems: Falling milk prices and rising costs are hurting dairy farmers
-
Land loss: Development and other uses are taking ideal farmland away
-
Aging farmers: Many farmers are getting older and retiring their craft and know how.
-
Climate change: Changing weather is making farming harder
-
Youth Migration: Students are leaving our state
