REG AND MIKE CHAPUT

Reg and Mike Chaput of Newport operate a 900-cow operation that adopts new technology in the production of high quality milk. The farm was an early adopter of methane digestion, cover cropping and dragline manure application, all of which demonstrate a commitment to soil health and water quality. Reg serves in leadership positions on the Dairy Farmers Association board, the Green Mountain Federation board and the Vermont Milk Commission.
