Show Notes
Connecticut dairy farmers face a dire crisis due to plummeting milk prices and escalating costs, pushing many towards closure. Top senators urge Governor Ned Lamont to allocate emergency funds from the state response reserve to provide immediate relief. Global oversupply has led to a significant drop in milk prices, while federal pricing rules dont suit New England farms, exacerbating their struggle. Farmers have been lobbying for aid, and a twenty-million-dollar tax credit bill has been introduced. The governor must submit a plan to the General Assembly for reserve funds approval within twenty-four hours to support small and mid-sized farms.
