Show Notes
Connecticuts dairy industry, once thriving with nearly a thousand farms, now faces extinction with only eighty left. Farmers like Brandon Smith at Cushman Farms grapple with plummeting milk prices, soaring costs, and massive losses. The Very Alive coalition, including Smith and Seth Balher, advocates for twenty million dollars in short-term aid and long-term tax credits to save the industry, which contributes two billion dollars to the state economy annually and supports eighteen thousand five hundred jobs.
