Opinion: Preserving Utah County’s agricultural heritage
Agriculture plays a vital role in Utah County’s history and heritage. Many of us have eaten the delicious cherries, peaches and apples that come from the shrinking number of orchards in Utah County. There are a number of fruits and vegetable that can only be grown in areas where the microclimate is favorable and many of these areas are found in Utah County. Utah County has higher agricultural cash receipts than any other county in the state but that number is declining. Additionally, Utah County is number one for total berry sales in the State of Utah. It is also the number one county in acreage for tart cherries, apples, sweet cherries, pears, peaches and raspberries in the state.
