Scott W. Holt, a Republican legislator from Syracuse, has been working for more than a year and a half on the project.

"We already have one major food company, All American Gourmet Co., at the Freeport Center in Clearfield. We also have one of the largest plants in the West at the Freeport Center." he said. "We have the land, the water and the climate to grow great vegetables. My family p and a host of farmers in this county have proven cold-stora- ge row-cro- ON OUR ENTIRE FALLWINTER STOCK that." Holt said the federal government has been asked to provide $100,000 to complete a market study that has already been started and which, he said, has already shown favorable results. Utah State University studied the possibility of building a vegetable processing plant in the Richfield area, which included a look at prospects in other areas of the state. The study, concluded .ast spring, reported favorably on construction of the Richfield plant and also recommended other areas of' the state be examined for similar plants. Holt said the $100,000 for a detailed market study may be available by next spring. : The study would examine how many farmers might be interested in growing vegetables and how many acres might be put into vegetables.

If the study is favorable, I'd like to see the federal government help build the processing plant in Davis County," he said. "I'm talking about a $15 million to $18 million plant." Holt said the federal government would probably save twice what is spent to build the plant on "the subsidies they won't have to pay farmers who are growing wheat and other grain." He said the farmers now subsidized for growing grain could grow vegetables instead a much higher value crop and thereby reap much greater profits from farming. "The vegetables would be processed in the new plant, frozen and then sold to food processors such as All American Gourmet Co. By freezing the vegetables, we can have them all year to sell instead of just a few months after the harvest."
