Good morning, Burlington.

Vermont dairy farmers met in Grand Isle on July 2 to discuss three processing plant closures that have left local operations strained by high costs & lower profits.

Local officials now plan reforms to support the dairy sector and protect rural jobs.

Weather experts say that the developing strong El Niño may bring above normal summer temperatures and slightly more rain to southern areas, while Vermont Emergency Management officials (who monitor local conditions) review plans for local hazards as impacts are expected to be muted inland given stronger north Atlantic patterns.

On Saturday, UVM Medical Center employees, retirees, and community supporters marched through downtown Burlington calling for increased staffing amid high workloads and care delays.

A hospital spokesperson said it will work with union partners to address challenges amid planned expense cuts ($350 million over three years).
