Roger Allbee has a new blog, What Ceres Might Say, where he will write about Vermont's rich agricultural history. Roger was Vermont's Secretary of Agriculture from January 2007 to January 2011.Roger is familiar to readers of this blog. In fact he was responsible for the start of this blog. The initial purpose of this blog was to document my trip to China in October 2007 as part of an agricultural delegation from Vermont led by Roger.
Ceres was the Roman goddess of agriculture, and there is a statue of her atop the golden dome of the Statehouse in Montpelier. I included the above photo with my column in the Summer 2007 issue of Financial Partner magazine: Ceres watches over an ever-changing landscape (5 MB PDF file, see p. 2).
Roger, welcome to blogging! I look forward to reading your posts about the history of Vermont agriculture.
