By Zach Despart



WEYBRIDGE — The partial shutdown of the federal government and the expiration of the farm bill have put Addison County dairy farmers in a precarious position.

National dairy trends taking toll on local farmers

Posted on October 1, 2012 |
By Xian Chiang-Waren

ADDISON COUNTY — With grain prices sky-high and milk prices dropping, a few family-owned Addison County dairy farms are closing their doors this fall.
