Farm Credit Fellow Finn Bondeson of Woodland, Aroostook County, Maine, spent the week of May 13-17 as a Farm Credit Fellow in our Middlebury office. Finn is from the potato-growing region of Maine, and grew up on a family farm producing potatoes, oats, and hay, as well as roughly 15 head of beef cattle. Finn’s family also manages a greenhouse operation, selling annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, and vegetable plants. Finn is a third-year Civil Engineering major at the University of Maine, but has always fostered and continues to foster an interest in agriculture. While in the Middlebury office, Finn had the pleasure of learning about the dairy and maple industries in Vermont and has been able to travel Addison and Rutland Counties to see the local dairies, orchards, and sugarhouses. Finn would like to thank the Middlebury office and Yankee Farm Credit for their kind hospitality throughout the week.
