I would tape the caps as well. I have had the altitude change from being flown cause the ones there were overfilled to “pop” and fill the bag they were in.

That is “kinda” right. There are *about 600 dairy farm organizations. While the number has decreased it is because the large farms have bought out and consolidated so there are nearly the same number of locations (farms), just owned by fewer people.

There are also over 600 CSFO and closer to 900 is you get rid of the Certified status. *may have been 1200, I didn’t pay attention to that number.

I just saw these numbers last week.

*here’s a modern article which confirms the 1200 migrant number. https://energynews.us/2021/05/03/in-vermont-a-new-model-emerges-to-improve-migrant-farmworker-housing/

** you being naive has nothing to do with number of farms, vs lfo/mfo/sfo and much more to do with your comment that white people can’t handle farm work where over 50% of the farm labor in the state is white people.

> Most white folk can't handle the work on a dairy farm,

What? 1200 migrant workers, 1000 farms, in a state that is like 94% white. Yes, migrants help keep VT farms running but your comment is naive. Having worked many years on a farm in various capacities, rest assured, there are plenty of white dudes working on farms in VT.

I will second this. The quality is just not there in Huntington homes.

*I will also say I have no idea who you are but I’m confident you can build a house. It’s not hard. It is complex and you need to follow a process but it is not hard.

**not you, the one thinking about the Huntington home.

If you do the work yourself it will be cheaper, otherwise probably more.

Worst part about building is needing to know heavy equipment people for the earth work. If you know some excavation folks it’s not as bad.

It usually takes a fuel powered generator to be completely off grid. Even with extra panels and a power wall for storage there are times that a generator is needed to augment what the sun can provide.

If you think it is the town clerks job to pull land records for you, you are entitled. That should clear up any issues you have with what is being said.

It’s is their job to maintain the records and provide you access, not do your research for you. Nobody is saying you will be called a prick, but expecting the town clerk to pull records for you is peak entitlement.

Are you intentionally misstating what I am saying? I will chose to think you are not and simply don’t understand the point of either article or what the majority of the posts in this thread are about.

If you read you will see most are not about being inconvenienced they are about town records being gone, inaccessible or held hostage. I was pointing out none of those are the case and all the records this company has, the 18% of the state property record, are available for free at your town clerks office. (Or potentially $4/hr max for you to access the books)

While the company adds value, the response to a private data reseller being offline is, for lack of a better term, ignorant.

If you and your business are experiencing hardships because a private company goes offline, that really sucks for you but is not the same as state records being lost or unavailable.

If you can’t see the difference then I’m not sure what to tell you.

I was not aware of that statute and updated my post, thank you.

They do not charge an access fee. That is incorrect. They charge or decline if you ask them to do your research, as they should.

• the state is working toward a free portal.

*I was mistaken, town clerks have the ability to charge. I apologize for providing incorrect information. My experience was empirical having never been charged in. The town where I have conducted business for in person access to records.

Nobody except entitled people expect the town clerk to do their record search for them. Who TF thinks it is the town clerks job?

That’s exactly my point. There is nothing the company offers that is not free at the town clerks office.

The state did offer some grant funds to scan in NEMRC a while ago I think but it is still not complete.

I domt understand your point. This company being offline did not impact access to any land record. The only thing it did was resell public records. Your survey example didn’t make sense to me either. If without a modern survey, the only way to resolve it is to do deed research, this is free from the town.

It seems many people don’t understand this either. This company got access to 1/6 of the towns in VT and is charging people for access to the record they can get for free direct from the town.

• 1/5.5 to be closer, not 1/6

They also allow deed pulls for free, online, which is what this company does and charges money for.

The parcel mapping program directly mirrors the parcels maps in the town clerk offices.

If you are somehow implying this private company has better records than the town clerk you are sorely mistaken. Not only mistaken but the map at the town clerk is the source of truth so any discrepancies would need to go through a legal proceeding and be recorded by the town (which then would offer them for free) before they became actual property lines.

Is it 43out of 251 towns. A private company. The state system is up, I pulled a deed yesterday.

43 towns is not a lot. There are 251 in the state.

The state has its own parcel map project that costs nothing.

*this is a private company capitalizing on a service the state provides for free.

Nobody cares where you eat as long as you’re not a dick about it and don’t make a mess.

I’m not sure but I once had a woman stop her car in the street and offer to do my daughters hair. There are that few people doing it that she stopped to let us know she did it.

Lol, I go through a jacket in about 3 to 5 years. By the end the thing is in literal tatters and the sleeves are ripped up. Hold up better than any other one Ive used as an outside work jacket though.

Heat pump and pellet stove.

1800 sq ft.

Heat pump: $125 Pellets: $100

$225 total to keep the whole house at 70.

He looks like what other people think Vermonters look like I guess. I dont see many Vermonters who look like him personally, see lots of people who want to look like Vermonters who look like him but they always seem to be from somewhere else and just up to visit.

This is the real answer. For a while VT had a very serious embezzlement problem. Seems to have gotten a bit better but for a while we were the top by some metric.

I honestly would not be surprised. Part of flavor in syrup comes from the carmelization in the final boiling stage. If you never have any because your equipment is set just perfect and all you are doing is boiling water off you never get that depth of flavor.

I also assume nearly all the other brands are from Canada, most likely Quebec which I believe is the worlds biggest producer. They are having the winters VT had 100 years ago but due to climate change our season is shorter with more bursts which impact the sap flow as well as the minerals in the sap.

Yes, it is.
