NextGen Farmer Day presented by L & A Mutual Insurance & TCO Agromart. We are profiling Dylan Vermilyea.
An aspect of farming Dylan says he enjoys is all of the different challenges that come with it. There is never one job you do day in and day out. You really become a jack of all trades learning to solve all of these challenges.
Dylan’s passion lies in the dairy industry. He says the dairy community is very unique in the sense that everyone is there to lend a helping hand. No ones really working against each other.
When it comes to the future of the dairy industry, Dylan says they’d like to show the public a little more about what it is they do. He says there are some misconceptions on what happens, and that as dairy farmers, they need to be responsible for clearing some up. He say’s they need to open their doors and allow the public in to see how they handle cattle and treat the animals.
To be able to achieve that future and to pave the way for the next generation after, he says that by opening the doors and showing the public so they are more comfortable, that will definitely be able to sustain the industry.
