Our milk inspector keeps telling us that dairying is about done in this country. Is he right? All I can tell you is that the whole industry is in a world of pain and this is probably just another symptom.
"Vogelmann said UVM would be the first public institution in the country to shift its dairy research to an “on-farm” model with private partners, and other fiscally strapped research universities are paying close attention. “It’s something we’re pretty excited about,” Vogelmann said. “This is a very challenging time for all land grants. At the heart of the issue is the status of university farms. They’re very expensive to maintain. It takes quite a lot of operational capital just to keep the doors open and the lights on.” "
it's a darn shame what is happening. Darn shame.
