	<title>Spring Is Auction Time For Struggling Dairy Farms</title>
	<link>http://www.vpr.net/news_detail/94563/spring-auction-time-for-struggling-dairy-farms/</link>
	<description><![CDATA[
The
number of dairy farms in Vermont
continues to shift. The official count of dairy farms has fallen by 7 to 977

	<title>Former Hinesburg Cheese Plant Houses New Agriculture Businesses</title>
	<link>http://www.vpr.net/news_detail/94555/former-hinesburg-cheese-plant-houses-new-agricultu/</link>
	<description><![CDATA[
After
a fire damaged a cheese plant in Hinesburg four years ago, the Quebec-based
company decided not to rebuild. That left 80 people without jobs and a void in
the center of town. But
an effort to bring value-added agriculture businesses to the building has paid
off, as state and local officials will celebrate the opening of two businesses in
the building this weekend.
