The nation is craving protein, but Vermont dairy isn’t cashing in

Vermont's dairy industry is struggling to keep up with the national demand for protein due to high land costs and outdated infrastructure. While other states are thriving in the protein market, Vermont's aging facilities and expensive real estate are holding them back. This situation not only highlights a regional economic issue but also raises questions about the future of sustainable dairy farming in the state. As competition intensifies, Vermont dairy farmers face the challenge of modernizing without losing their traditional practices.
