The state of Vermont is situated perfectly to be an agricultural haven, with fertile soil and hundreds of acres of open plains. For generations, its population has taken advantage of the landscape and has made their living from it. Following WWII, though, the state made efforts to increase its industrial foothold within the United States. The competition between these two aspects of Vermont’s identity can be observed through the editions of Vermont Life Magazine. Through the linked timeline, we have explored the developments in this magazine and its reflection of the socioeconomic environment of the state. Additionally, our podcast provides a contemporary, first-hand account of what living and working in the Vermont agricultural industry is like today.
