Farmers are Heroes.
And sometimes, even heroes need help.
We rely on them to put fresh food on our tables. They often work two jobs and long hours. They take large financial risks hoping for a good season. But increasing costs and pressure to sell their land for development, are squeezing out local family farmers.
Utah is losing 400,000 acres of cropland, dairies, and livestock pastures every decade. From 1997 to 2022, Utah lost 13% of its ag lands. Such losses are a threat to food security (especially as other states lose ag land, too), and result in losses of wildlife and of recreation opportunities, too.
UALT’s mission is to save Utah’s remaining agricultural open lands. We pay farmers for development rights to their lands. These conservation easements allow farmers, who still own the land, to keep the property as working agricultural land for future generations.
You can be a hero, too.
And this is where we need your help. Your donation helps us support ag landowners who seek to protect their land with conservation easements, and also helps with operational expenses.
Help us save Utah’s vanishing Ag lands.
