Commentary: Utah farmers want clean water and clear rules

As a multigeneration farmer, I care deeply about the impact I have in my community of West Weber, but I also care about the impacts my farm has throughout the state. While I take great pride in the thousands of people my dairy feeds, I take just as much pride in how I care for the land and water. You’ll find other Utah farmers and ranchers feel the same way.

Water affects everything I do on my farm and affects so much of Utah agriculture — from fruit farmers in Utah County and dryland wheat farmers in San Juan County, to cattle and sheep ranchers in our mountain valleys and southern deserts, and everything in between.
