Vermont dairy farms shrink as herds grow in 1974
Vermont lost 61 dairy farms in 1974 while total dairy cows rose by more than 5,500 to 201,458. University of Vermont economist Raymond Trembley notes the average farm size increased from 25 cows in 193 to 54 in 1974, with small-farm counts diminishing due to mechanization and reduced profitability for part-time operators. Trembley says postwar trends show only minor adjustments ahead.
