MONROE, MAINE -- 05/24/2016 -- Jack Hill gathers equipment in the milk room, which has to be cleaned after milking, at Hilltop Farm in Monroe on Tuesday. Hill has been a dairy farmer for 50 years and, at age 75, he is ready to retire. He would like to see his 500 acres remain a farm instead of being subdivided into house lots. Gabor Degre | BDN
