Each winter, students from New England universities spend a week immersed in the dairy industry touring farm operations. For this 25th annual Winter Traveling Dairy Tour, all six New England land-grant institutions were able to participate for the first time since its inception.
Almost fifty undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts-Amherst, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont gathered at the University of New Hampshire on January 9, 2023. Over the next five days they toured ten farms throughout Maine and several dairy adjacent operations, including a cheese processing facility, an agricultural trade show, and the IDEXX laboratories.
