The State's Farms Need Large Animal Vets

By Amy Quinton on Friday, February 16, 2007.

New Hampshire lawmakers are considering a bill to attract and retain large animal veterinarians in the state.

Proponents say these vets are essential to the state's billion dollar agriculture industry.

But they're also important for maintaining the state's rural way of life.

The proposal would reimburse student loan debt for those who agree to practice in the state for three years.

But as New Hampshire Public Radio's Amy Quinton reports, even proponents of the bill don't know if such an incentive will work.
