Growth Trends and Forestry Outlook in Vermont Farming
Growth trends show 6,000 cited for the next decade with real progress in agriculture up 40 percent from 25 years ago. Miller notes shifts from horse power to machines, chemistry applications, and new farm programs boosting productivity while noting slow relief and uneven farmer impact. He stresses forestry, inventories, and science-based plans for forest improvements as two thirds of Vermont’s six million acres are forested. Farmers may pivot to beef, sheep, vegetables, services for recreation, and food processing as cost pressures rise.
