Trucking milk from farm to plant is vital to the dairy business. But Vermont is short on drivers

A milk truck looks like a big silver tube on wheels. And on an early winter day, one backed up into the dirt driveway of Gervais Farm in Enosburgh. The truck’s driver was Ben Kane, who hopped out to be greeted by Tala the farm dog. Kane was there to pick up a load of milk. The first thing he did was walk into the milk parlor to check the tank. “Pretty full today,” he said. “I’ll be here for awhile.”
