Today I visited Butterwick Farm, owned by John and Lisa Roberts, in West Cornwall, Vt, with Cheryl Dorschner, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Senior Communications Professional.\u00a0 It turns out that the biosecurity project I am leading has been selected by the College to be featured in an upcoming publication.\u00a0 Cheryl wanted to interview one of the case farms participating in the project and get some photos.\u00a0 She kindly shared a couple with me.\u00a0 We picked a very photogenic day, showing up as the milk truck driver was finishing his routine there.\u00a0 It was quite a sight seeing the milk truck backed up to the milk house, the front bumper just barely out of the intersection.\u00a0 We saw many dump trucks go by hauling chopped hay to the neighboring farm.\u00a0 As John and his son are planning on starting up a butter making venture on the farm in the near future, it is especially evident why biosecurity is important to them.<\/p>\n

John had this to say about participating in the biosecurity project:\u201cI want more awareness; I want a plan; I want to never have to use it<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The last sentiment is shared by all of us engaged in planning for a highly contagious disease emergency such as foot-and-mouth disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
