The Valley Voice And Area Businesses Salute Dairies Of Distinction

Tuesday September 9, 2008

   There are 172 Dairy of Distinction dairy farms in Vermont and these farms were recognized with a luncheon on August 28, 2008 at the Champlain Valley Fair. The Vermont Dairy of Distinction Program awards were developed to recognize farms that maintain a well-kept farmstead.

    The Dairy of Distinction program was developed because attractive dairies give the consumer greater confidence in the wholesomeness of milk, stimulates milk sales, and encourages public support for the dairy industry.

    Dairy of Distinction judges look at the cleanliness, physical condition, and uniform appearance of buildings; neat and appropriate landscaping; well graded roads and lanes; fences in good repair; neat ditches that are free of debris; cleanliness of animals; neat barnyards; clean roads free of mud and manure; manure storage facilities out of view; farm machinery that is parked in an orderly fashion; no apparent pollution of streams; clean feed areas; and all unnecessary machinery stored out of sight.
