MORETOWN, Vt. (AP) — Vermont awarded $1.1 million to 37 farm and forestry projects around the state on Tuesday in the second year it offered working lands grants.

Among the recipients is Grow Compost of Vermont LLC, which is receiving $75,000 for a new truck to collect food and food scraps from schools and businesses and manure from farms to turn into compost and for use in digesters to make energy. Some of the food will also go to food banks as Vermont moves toward its ambitious statewide goal of statewide recycling by 2015 and keeping food scraps out of landfills by 2020.
