The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food joined with Journal Communications to create this annual publication, designed to educate key consumers, influencers and community leaders about the importance of agriculture to the local and state economy, and promote agriculture to a growing audience concerned about their families’ food source.

“I encourage you to share the online and print versions of the magazine with anyone who may be interested in learning more about Utah agriculture and how it affects their daily lives,” said Utah Commissioner of Agriculture and Food, LuAnn Adams. “We all have a stake in promoting what’s wonderful about our state’s agriculture, and this publication provides a perfect way to do that,” she added.

The magazine includes articles on urban agriculture and the local food revolution, dairy farms, Utah’s Own, agritourism, livestock grazing, the pork industry, and other topics. It also lists Utah’s top 10 agricultural products. The magazine’s cover features Governor Gary R. Herbert in a classic Western setting.
