Like other parts of New England, Maine is losing its farms and its farmland.

In the 1940s, Maine had over 5 thousand dairy farms.

Today, 93 percent of those farms are gone.

And late last month, the state lost another one.

MPBN's Jeanne Baron has the story of the last dairy farm in Waterville, Maine.
