In the News

In 2050 Utah is projected to have an additional 2.5 million residents. The Governor and Envision Utah are putting together a plan to try to determine how this increase in the populace will be supported. As part of the process, they are seeking public input to determine how, where, and in what quantities this growth should take place.

Farmers and ranchers will soon be asked to produce more food on fewer acres of land using less water to accommodate this new growth, and our voices should be heard.

Envision Utah is gathering information in two parts. First go to http://envisionutah.org/. On the bottom left you can complete the “Build Your Utah," which allows you to rank your priorities for Utah. After you've completed this, you will sign up to take a survey at a future date. To do this, at the bottom left hand side of the page click “RESERVE NOW.” Once you have submitted your information you will be sent an email stating your spot is reserved. At a later date you will be emailed a link to take the survey.

Utah is a great place to live, and agriculture has greatly contributed to building the state. Make sure you take this opportunity to speak on behalf of agriculture in Utah.
