Dairy farmers from around the country plan a
“summit” meeting this week in South
Burlington to discuss what
they describe as a crisis. Prices paid to farmers have fallen well below what it
costs to produce milk and many farms are struggling to stay in business.
The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency says the owners of a Richford farm will be
fined and ordered to make amends for illegally converting 40 acres of wetlands
into hay fields.
