Tom Evslin: Vermont needs more forest and housing, but sacred cows are in the way

The Vermont Housing and Conservation Board is in an excellent position to balance the goals it was given by the Legislature. Some legislation will be required to make clear that, although keeping the land dairy farms are on productive is essential, preserving them as dairy farms is not.
