Nearly half of Vermont dairy farms have 500 or more cows today, compared to nearly half having fewer than 100 cows 40 years ago, according to a report from the state auditor.
Doug Hoffer said he investigated trends in Vermont dairy farming to serve as a resource for State policymakers, program managers, and the public as they consider the future of dairy in Vermont and what role public funds should play.
Even though Vermont has far fewer dairy farms than it did 40-plus years ago, and fewer cows, milk production is up significantly because of new technologies and farming practices:
Vermont produced 2.73 billion pounds of milk from 711 farms in 2017, compared to 1.92 billion pounds of milk from 4,017 farms in 1969.

As Vermont makes headway in its COVID-19 vaccination distribution plan, registration has begun for clinics aiming to ensure Black, Indigenous and other residents of color receive a dosage.
The clinics comes as racial justice advocates and health officials have noticed disparities in inoculation rates in Vermont communities of color as compared to white, non-Hispanic residents.
As of Wednesday, 28.5% of the state s total population over age 16 had received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Vermont s Health Department also breaks down vaccination by race and ethnicity on its online dashboard.
According to the dashboard, a total of 14.5% of the state s total Black, Indigenous, and other populations of color (BIPOC) had been vaccinated as of Wednesday. In contrast, 25.8% of the state s non-Hispanic white population had received the vaccine.
