In a recent study by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food and Utah State University finds that Utah has room for growth in the Utah beef processing and sales businesses.
“Beef is our number one agricultural product in the state of Utah, and will continue to be," said Linda Clark Gillmor, "but we send most of our beef out as calves. They go to the Midwest, someone else add weight until those animals are ready to harvest. And then oftentimes, we're buying it back".
This is Linda Clark Gillmor, Utah Department of Agriculture and Food Director of Marketing and Economic Development.
“In 2019, Utahns purchased $8.3 billion of beverage and food, processed anything in a package or a bottle. And 64% of that came from out of state. That's a loss to our economy up to $5.3 billion,” said Clark Gillmor.
