Andrew Whitney - Farm Credit Fellow

Farm Credit Fellow Andrew Whitney of Hardwick, VT visited the St. Albans office the week of August 21st.  Andrew is entering his senior year at UVM as part of the 2+2 program. He spent the summer working at Jasper Hill Farm in Greensboro, VT. Andrew hopes to own a dairy farm after graduation and realizes the challenges of getting started. While visiting the St. Albans office he had the opportunity to visit a modern dairy farm with robotic milkers.  He also visited maple operations, a winery in Grand Isle, and a large farmstand/greenhouse operation in Chittenden county. He sat in on office visits with customers and helped key loan application information to be analyzed.
