County crops look good in Bennington County this year
AVM County Extension Agent John C. Page notes a strong corn crop, early tasseling, and good hay yields in Bennington County aided by July rains. He warns of wind risk to corn and drought-driven feed shortages in Lake Champlain area, where hay could rise toward 100 a ton. In East Pownal and West Rupert farmers expand barns, silos, and herds, while local landowners and tenants work together to keep land productive amid inflation and high costs.
