One of the Last Inseminators in New Hampshire

By Donna Moxley on Friday, March 20, 2009.

Last year's high fuel costs and continuing low milk prices are just the latest in a string of hardships for dairy farmers.

These days, New Hampshire is down to less than 140 dairy farms.

They range in size from one cow in the backyard to operations with hundreds of animals.

With that loss in dairy farms, a job is slowly disappearing.

Dairy Farmers in the state have just two people they can call on when their cow is ready to breed.

The Keene Sentinel's Donna Moxley has this profile of one of them.
