UFB President Ken Ashby, Delta, says over 102,000 jobs in Utah are attributable to the states related and agricultural agribusiness industry, and $2.4 billion in economic activity is generated by farms ranches, and the agribusiness complex. We say it again and again, agriculture is the backbone of much of the states economy. Other industries come and go, new fads become popular and just as quickly fade away, he said. But everyone eats and consumes a wide variety of farm and ranch-produc- ed products, and this will keep agriculture going long after other industries have become obsolete or simple dried up economi- cally." Nearly a quarter of the jobs in Utah are tied to agriculture, and Ashby said most rural people continue to rely on fanning or ranching for at least a part of their income.

Think what this means to the local bank, the grocery store owner, the local hardware store and lumber yard, the clothing shop, the car and truck dealership, as well as the feed and farm supply store? These businesses, in addition to lens of others, benefit from the hard work of farmers and ranchers, u ho generate new local wealth and revitalize the economy with each crop harvested, livestock sold or commodity marketed," Ashby said. Ashby said while National Agriculture Day comes just once a year, we should remember the contributions of farmers and ranchers every day of the year and be thankful for it.
