VTDigger was the first news outlet in Vermont to report on the skyrocketing number of applications for growing hemp. Since then we have followed hemp developments closely, bringing you the latest on an industry that has been hailed as an economic boon to the state.
- We’ve reported on the glut of supply that has resulted in acres of hemp being left to rot in fields.
- We analyzed the impact of proposed federal regulations on the stateโs burgeoning market and the consumer habits that are driving it.

VTDigger’s business reporter Anne Wallace Allen covers new industries, helping readers understand whatโs working for the local economy.
Her reporting keeps tabs on high level policy makers, the business people who make our economy hum and the impact of business and policy decisions on consumers.
Anne is the only dedicated full-time business beat reporter left in the state. Without her in-depth coverage, Vermonters would be in the dark about what makes Vermont’s local economy tick.
