Leavitt, Governor, State of Utah Dear Friends, Utah Agriculture remains one of our state's consistent economic producers. Utah farmers and ranchers generate almost $1 billion a year in raw products. By the time those crops reach our dinner tables, they've added approximately $3 billion to the state's economy. Agriculture also means jobs. More than 100,000 people are employed by agriculture and agribusiness. Utah is the nation's second largest producer of tart cherries, the third largest producer of apricots and the fifth largest producer of sweet cherries. Utah's high quality alfalfa hay is world renowned and helps drive the dairy industries in Utah, California and other states. Global marketing of Utah agricultural products continues to grow. More international companies are putting Utah food and agricultural products on their store shelves than in any time in the past. It is not ( uncommon to see Utah dairy, poultry, fruit and livestock products on sale around the world. ( \ Credit for these strides must go to Commissioner of Agriculture and Food, Cary G. Peterson. During ( the past year, Cary served as President of the National Association of State Departments of Agricul­ ture, where he worked to improve export trade between the U.S. and foreign countries such as Canada, Mexico, China, and Japan. The world's population is growing, and Utah farmers and ranchers are taking the steps necessary to strengthen their industries and insure our quality of life as we feed the world.

  • Economic Contribution of Agriclture to the Utah Economy 2014
    The Economic Contribution of Agriculture to the Utah Economy in 2014 Ruby A. Ward Professor Karli Salisbury Research Assistant Dept. of Applied Economics Utah State University UMC 4835 Logan, UT 84322-4835 Prepared for Utah Department of Agriculture and Food Utah State University Economic Research Institute Report #2016-01 October 2016 Situation • The study of the economic contribution of agriculture to the Utah economy defines agriculture as the combination of the agriculture production sectors (NAICS codes 111, 112 and 115) and the agriculture processing sectors (NAICS codes 311 and 312). • Our economic analysis captures the direct sales (output) of agriculturally oriented businesses within the state, as well as the indirect and induced (multiplier) effects of these expenditures. Analysis was conducted using Version 3 of the Impact Analysis for Planning (IMPLAN) model and its 2014 database. • In 2014, production agriculture, including farming, ranching, dairy, and other related support industries, accounted for over $2.4 billion in direct output (sales), with a total of $3.5 billion in total economic output after adjustment for multiplier effects. - Based on Utah’s 2014 Gross State Product of $140 billion, production agriculture directly accounts for 1.7% of total state output and accounts for 2.5% with multiplying effects. - The production agriculture sector directly employs 18,000 people in either full or part-time positions. When including the multiplying effect, production agriculture accounts for roughly 26,000 jobs with an income compensation of $583 million. • Total direct output by the agricultural processing sector was approximately $10.7 billion in 2014. • The agriculture processing sector and the production agriculture sector combined account for $21.2 billion in total economic output in Utah after adjusting for multiplier effects.

  • Collaborative Development of Narratives and Models for Steering Inter-Organizational Networks Philip C
    Collaborative Development of Narratives and Models for Steering Inter-Organizational Networks Philip C. Emmi, Craig B. Forster, Jim I. Mills, Tarla Rai Peterson, Jessica L. Durfee and Frank X. Lilly University of Utah College of Architecture + Planning 375 S. 1530 East, Room 235 AAC Phone: 1-801-581-4255 Fax: 1-801-581-8217 [email protected] Abstract The power to direct and manage change within metropolitan areas is increasingly dispersed among a loosely interconnected set of mostly local organizations, agencies and actors that form a special type of urban inter-organizational network. Increasingly, the quality of metropolitan regional governance depends upon IO network capacity to articulate systemically insightful urban development strategies, i.e., to exercise a capacity for network steering. We outline an IO network steering capacity-support process that combines collaborative learning, narrative storytelling, and system dynamics modeling with the goal of deepening insights into urban human/biophysical processes and securing greater resilience in metropolitan regional governance. Our process promotes comprehension of complex urban processes through stories about past trajectories and future growth scenarios that frame issues within collaborative learning workshops for deliberation by local opinion leaders. This initiative is part of a larger research study on greenhouse gas emissions in relation to human and biological activities within metropolitan areas. Keywords: Collaborative learning, narratives, system dynamics, steering inter- organizational networks Introduction As our conception of government and its capacity for societal guidance changes, so too, does our approach to planning and decision-making. Increasingly, we recognize that the power to guide and direct change is dispersed among a variety of loosely interconnected organizations, agencies and actors.

  • Wildfire in Utah
    Wildfire in Utah UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY Wildfire in Utah The Physical and Economic Consequences of Wildfire Paul M. Jakus, Editor 2/10/2017 Project Authors: Paul M. Jakus Man-Keun Kim Department of Applied Economics Center for Society, Economy, and the Environment Randy C. Martin Ian Hammond Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Utah Water Laboratory Edd Hammill Nancy Mesner Jacob Stout Department of Watershed Resources Ecology Center 1 The Physical and Economic Consequences of Wildfire PRELUDE On June 26, 2012 a lightning strike ignited a wildfire in the Manti-La Sal National Forest of central Utah’s Carbon and Emery counties (Figure P.1). By the time the Seeley wildfire was contained three weeks later, some 48,000 acres of federal, state, and private land had been burned and $8.7 million in suppression costs expended (Styler 2012). According to the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS.gov) project, nearly one-third of the acreage was severely burned, damaging vegetation and soils for years to come. Severe burns vastly increase the erosion potential of burnt landscapes, and the steep lands of Huntington Canyon proved to be no exception. Figure P.1: Smoke from the Seeley wildfire. Source: Inciweb.nwcg.gov Subsequent thunderstorm events caused dangerous landslides as debris flows composed of water, boulders, gravel, sand, tree trunks, and ash scoured soils down to bare rock (Giraud and McDonald, 2013; Figure P.2). The flows also increased erosion in Huntington Creek and severely damaged State Highway 31, which was subsequently closed often due to debris and washouts. The debris-filled wa- ter also threatened drinking water supplies in Huntington City and cooling water used in the Hun- tington Power Plant.

  • 1996 Economic Report to the Governor
    State of Utah Michae 0. Leavitt, Governor Second Printing Governor's Office of Planning and Budget January 1996 116 State Capitol Salt Lake City, UT 841 14 STATEOF UTAH MICHAEL 0.LEAVITT OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR OLENE S. WALKER GOVERNOR SALT LAKE CITY LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR 841 14-0601 January 8, 1996 My Fellow Utahns: I am pleased to accept this annual report on Utah's economic performance. I want to thank the State Economic Coordinating Committee for preparing this careful assessment of the past year and helping to develop and disseminate a consistent foundation of economic data and analysis. As I have met with state economists and reviewed the economic data, I am impressed and humbled by the prosperity of the era. The Economic Coordinating Committee has aptly characterized the past several years as a golden period for the Utah economy. These are the best of times. We celebrate our centennial year with low unemployment, rising incomes, and a budget surplus. And while some would credit Utah's economic performance to good fortune or timing -- and there is some of this -- I know the explanation runs deeper. The explanation is found in our people. The productivity of Utah's workers, the wise investments of Utah's entrepreneurs, the first-rate performance of Utah's teachers, the success of Utah companies in the global economy, and the prudent choices made by Utah's leaders are just some, of the many, explanations for our economic accomplishments. I congratulate the residents of this state for their contributions to our collective economic success. During 1995, we survived the Base Realignment and Closure Commission's decisions, learned that Salt Lake City would host the 2002 Winter Olympics and permitted construction for $2.9 billion in projects.

  • Recommended State Water Strategy
    Recommended State Water Strategy July 2017 Recommended State Water Strategy July 2017 Compiled by the Governor’s Water Strategy Advisory Team Invited by The Honorable Gary R. Herbert Governor, State of Utah Facilitated by Envision Utah Executive Summary Utah faces a daunting challenge. We have the distinction of being both one of the driest states in the nation and one of the fastest growing. At the convergence of those two realities is the challenge of providing water for a population that is projected to nearly double by 2060 while maintaining strong farms and industries and healthy rivers, lakes, wetlands, and aquifers. This challenge is magnified by climate projections from the State Climatologist that show a significant decrease in Utah’s snowpack, which presently provides more annual water storage capacity than all of Utah’s human-made reservoirs combined. In 2013, Governor Gary R. Herbert invited a group of stakeholders with extensive backgrounds in various aspects of water and with a diverse set of perspectives to form the State Water Strategy Advisory Team.1 He tasked them to (1) solicit and evaluate potential water management strategies; (2) frame various water management options and the implications of those options for public feedback; and, (3) based on broad input, develop a set of recommended strategies and ideas to be considered as part of a 5O-year water plan. Despite the often-contentious nature of water policy debate, the Team engaged in earnest discussion and reached agreement on the set of critical issues and strategy recommendations contained in this document, that if studied and advanced will help ensure a vibrant and sustainable water future.
