Mike Fitzgerald spent the week of May 24-27 working in our White River Junction office as part of the Farm Credit Fellows program. Mike comes from a 45 cow dairy farm consisting of Holsteins and Brown Swiss in Colchester, VT. He has just entered his senior year at the University of Vermont in Ag Business, through the FARMS 2+2 Program, a state funded scholarship including two years at Vermont Technical College in dairy management and two years at UVM in Ag business. After school, Mike plans to start his own milk bottling facility on the home farm and enter the value added market, with an expansion to milking 80 cows while hosting annual farm visits open to the public for education and demonstration.
