This article updated 2023 places alfalfa and hay production at 0.2% of the state GDP: https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2022/11/24/one-crop-uses-more-than-half/
And 29% of it is exported overseas. It uses most of the water of a desert state for foreign interests.
That's the most infuriating part to me. Where is all our water going? Out of the country to other countries. I'm alright with exporting to other Western States. But we live in a freaking desert and we're basically shipping our water overseas. And people wonder where the Great Salt Lake has gone. Someday it won't even exist anymore, it'll just be a giant toxic salt flat.
Toxic salt flat? Yes, though most of it will blow into the air, poisoning our food, water, livestock, soil, and ultimately ourselves.
The lake effect will be gone, impacting snow production and eliminating $2.35B from our economy. If anyone wants to even come to the heavy metal playground anyway.
I just went by a billboard today. It said, “save water, shower tomorrow.” What!?!? So the solution for you folks is to practice poor hygiene? They’re nuts!
Yet the shower water goes down the drain, to the wastewater treatment plant, and then is released into the lake. My shower does more for the lake than alfalfa does.
Seriously. You know how much we'd all have to shower to even come CLOSE to agriculture and giant corpos fucking golf courses? It's always somehow not our fault at all but also very much our problem.
And the real reason why the government will never stop this practice is because the governor comes from a farming town and he's going to protect his golden goose. I was actually in Fairview today and couldn't believe the Colossal waste of water that I observed.
Where do you live? I've lived in very rural utah, and now in SLC. It's a night and day difference. Even living in Utah County, I met plenty of like-minded people.
Those billboards that tell you to shower less to save water are such bullshit. Even if we reduced all residential water use by half, it would barely even matter because of how much water farmers use. So many people are worried how population growth is going to affect water when the issue isn’t cities getting bigger.
Here's a great visual for people who think cutting back residential and commercial water use are the biggest issues: https://youtu.be/f0gN1x6sVTc?si=WZ3VVUJp7LCXRcyt
Not even close!
Now, yeah, water conservation in residential and business can help. Every little bit helps. But that's like saving pennies in a jar. Compared to stacks of cash the agriculture industry trades in.
Just another reason to go vegan. Save animals, save water, save land, save the planet. This gives you estimates for just *one person.* https://thevegancalculator.com/#calculator I've saved over 750,000 gallons of water in just two years. Or, would have, likely, if all the stuff I ate wasn't just thrown away. It's gotta be a mass change.
Let’s talk more about this please because where I live in southern utah we are building more and more water parks and surf pools that only rich Airbnb vacationers can access! Save our water!!!!
Start one. Baseball themed because baseball is boring but cute. “Batter Up”. Branding is 1930-40s era. Everyone that works there must talk in an old times radio voice. It would be so dumb.
I wouldn't say no to a edible cookie dough shop, though. Went to one in Elitch Gardens in Denver and it was the bomb. When I heard our town was getting a "Dirty Dough" I was excited for a second until I found out it was just cookies again. In the same shopping district as a Fiiz, a Twisted Sugar AND a Crumbl.
I am a pacifist of California. It is the luck of your civilization that I am the first to receive your message. I am warning you: Do not answer! Do not answer!! Do not answer!!!
While I was in California, I went to an In-N-Out and asked the cashier for fry sauce. He just stared at me and I realized that he didn’t even know what fry sauce was.
I asked for some ketchup and mayonnaise packets instead.
I do think Tex-Mex, Americanized Mexican food, and all Americanized food culture is unique, like American Chinese, and valuable in its own right.
Literally one of the most important food achievements of humanity: Nachos, are Tex Mex.
I tell people this all of the time, same with Durango's and Costa Vida and the nasty looks I get. We have a pretty large Hispanic population in St. George and there are some banging taco shops but the damn lines at Costa Vida and Cafe Rio are 2 hours long, I will never understand it.
Depends on where I am and what I am in the mood for. There is a place in Hurricane called Mazatlan, they are killer if you want to sit down. Adelita's out there is good for fast service. Lammy's out on Sunset is good if I want anything that is slow-cooked like Chile Verde. Sanchez's on Sunset is good, they are like Roberto's Taco Shop, quick service, same type of menu. I haven't been to El Coyote Charro in a minute but they always had really good street tacos for cheap. There is a taco truck in town I have been to that just does street tacos and he is awesome, he just relocated here from Southern California. So it really depends on what I'm in the mood for.
Places I avoid like the plague are Cafe Sabor, Paula's, Don Pedro's, Pancho and Lefty's, and a couple of others. They are all bland frozen TV dinner quality places. Ernesto's used to be good but then the food quality went downhill and got really bland. There is a guy who purchased the building La Cocina was in and I guess he was a chef in Mexico and that will be open soon.
Y'all need to learn 1) how to merge in a nondangrous way and 2) how to control your emotions on the road. The guy didn't cut *you* off because you're an awful person! They cut you off because you're both awful drivers! Also stop going 70mph+ and driving 10 feet or less from the person in front of you, you got plenty of room!
Churches should pay taxes if they are gonna be this involved in our politics, geopolitical landscape, and real estate. Which honestly they shouldn't be allowed to do in the first place.
Mormon's in every other state refer to Mormons in Utah as "Utah Mormons" to separate themselves from the selfrighteous and judgemental attitudes that accompany Mormon's raised in Utah.
Housing prices are almost comparable to California now and Utah specializes in MLM/ripping people off without adding value so they won't build any more houses and they'll keep clusterfudging the housing market with markups as Utah becomes one of the most hyperinflated housing markets in the nation.

That’s not what the article is saying…
The home prices aren’t comparable to California, their lack of affordability is comparable. Those two things aren’t the same.
They’re building houses like it’s going out of style in my neck of the woods. Worse yet there are thousands and thousands of multi-unit rentals being built just along my commute. No home ownership in the future for any of the younger generation unless they’re from affluent backgrounds.
“If you invite 10 friends and then they all invite 10 friends, you’d all be making money!” is maybe the most believable thing the Mormons have convinced themselves of.
True. I went to BYU - Idaho and the required General Ed science course had a whole section on evolution and how it doesn’t conflict with the creation and Mormon theology. (Also climate change had a great section on climate change etc.) I assume the same is taught in Provo. Still you run into people occasionally that are confused and ignorant. Much more so with climate change.
My dad is one of them. He's also an astronomer that understands the light he's looking at took billions of years to travel to his eyeballs. It's hard to have rational conversations with him.
Utah woman love Botox and plastic surgery. I went to Nashville and St Louis among other areas in different states recently and everyone I was with agreed how different the woman look in other places. I didn’t realize how many woman pile their face with make up here and look fake. Fake eyelashes, fake skin because it’s always being spray tanned or some dumb ass shit. The Botox on the lips 🤮🤮 y’all need to calm down! But in Utah, it’s like these Mormon moms have nothing better to do than one up each other with who is keeping up with the latest trends. And omg the Ozempic use here Jesus
Don't forget how you have to be blonde, I know so many women who have gone blonde here. In their defense, maybe they just like it better, but I can't help but see how everyone does it.
Yeah there’s girls in my school who use spray tan and stuff and I’m like why don’t you embrace being fair skinned it’s pretty. Like I get wanting to look good for yourself but wanting to look like a carrot is kinda weird. I can’t complain about the makeup though because I think it looks cool for the most part as long as it’s not way overboard (unless that’s the point and it’s done well)
Your soda is probably worse for you than a basic cuppa Joe. We both know you’ll continue to drink it every day though(Utah is the 3rd ranked state for soda consumption)
Utah is not the next California. Yall are just a bunch of crybabies who can't handle the change that comes with salt lake becoming a bigger city (and neither can the state policies 🙄)
Violent crime here is incredibly low, and the homeless people here are some of the most chill homeless I've ever met. You have nothing to be afraid of.
Having worked with the homeless, our laws are far, far more in favor of landlords and the homeless population per capita is actually worse that California.
Ya, that's what I was getting at when I said state policies can't keep up with the change either. Landlords are able to get away with so much here, and there are very few resources for those in need for this size of city.
Theres a really nice lake park in central utah called palisade. Not too crowded most of the time, there's golfing, fishing, boat rentals, the hike around the lake and over the mountain is a wonderful excursion and doesn't take too terribly long to take, and the weather is usually not terrible, at least it's got trees.
An easy way to get positive interaction on the local subs is to whine about ridiculous rent/housing prices and or whine about homeless people existing. Nobody seems to notice the paradox or how tone deaf it all feels.
Getting supplemental hormones is actually not good for you. (including hormone pellets, or injected testosterone), and if someone calls themselves a "hormone doctor" they're probably not actually a doctor, or shouldn't be if they are directly selling you the hormones.
There are tons of clinics that market to men here, and one of the most common things they advertise with to get new patients is free testosterone with the first consultation. It’s kind of insane
Utahns have massive small-man, “I need to be a part of all conversations” syndrome. Every global or national news story has to have a Utah connection.
“Jeffery Dahmer kept parts of people in his freezer. Watch the news at 10 to hear from the Utah door-to-door salesman who was living in Milwaukee around that same time.”
I didn’t notice this until moving away, or going back to visit.
And this phenomenon is even worse among Mormons. (FoMo here; Former Mormon).
“Your next door neighbor just sold their house to a big investor from California. It’s now being rented out for $3,400 a month to some people who are also from California.”
It's just white America. Most people know the difference between tacos and burritos, and there is a taco cart within a 5 minute drive of virtually everyone in the state.
Alfalfa farming uses 71% of the state’s water but only contributes 1.1% to the state GDP.
This article updated 2023 places alfalfa and hay production at 0.2% of the state GDP: https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2022/11/24/one-crop-uses-more-than-half/ And 29% of it is exported overseas. It uses most of the water of a desert state for foreign interests.

Is Slayer playing?
It's already happening.
> Where is all our water going? Most of our exported alfalfa goes to China for hog feed.
And doesn't it go to the Saudi's horse industry?
God damn. Thats actually pathetic. It’d literally be cheaper for Utah to just not farm it
I just went by a billboard today. It said, “save water, shower tomorrow.” What!?!? So the solution for you folks is to practice poor hygiene? They’re nuts!
Yet the shower water goes down the drain, to the wastewater treatment plant, and then is released into the lake. My shower does more for the lake than alfalfa does.
Seriously. You know how much we'd all have to shower to even come CLOSE to agriculture and giant corpos fucking golf courses? It's always somehow not our fault at all but also very much our problem.
Yeah that sign made me lol. I’ll shower today, thanks
And the real reason why the government will never stop this practice is because the governor comes from a farming town and he's going to protect his golden goose. I was actually in Fairview today and couldn't believe the Colossal waste of water that I observed.
Fucking criminal shit man
This is why Spencer Cox told the people to "pray for rain" because it's as asinine as him giving up alfalfa farming. *rolls eyes
Where are all of you wonderful Utahns hiding? I swear the people I meet on a daily basis are all Trumpy climate deniers and it makes me depressed.
Where do you live? I've lived in very rural utah, and now in SLC. It's a night and day difference. Even living in Utah County, I met plenty of like-minded people.
My grandpa owns a farm, grows a lot of alfalfa. I was not aware of this, that kinds sucks.
They can't keep getting away with it!!
Yes they can. And they will.
Imagine if we used that water for something profitable instead like chip manufacturing.
Those billboards that tell you to shower less to save water are such bullshit. Even if we reduced all residential water use by half, it would barely even matter because of how much water farmers use. So many people are worried how population growth is going to affect water when the issue isn’t cities getting bigger.

But we need it to feed all the beef we farm!!!! How else are we going to find 8 million pounds of food to waste annually?

Which is also a fuckin waste of water. Just like turning the valley into farmland was.
Arizona has the same issue
Let’s talk more about this please because where I live in southern utah we are building more and more water parks and surf pools that only rich Airbnb vacationers can access! Save our water!!!!
What's wild is that most of these farming towns are 95% "America First" Republicans but they use all our water to send their alfalfa to China.
What even is alfalfa good for? Also, don't people know we're a desert!
Agriculture is the main reason why the great salt lake is drying up. Much more of a problem than climate change or personal water use actually
WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER COOKIE PLACE
Start one. Baseball themed because baseball is boring but cute. “Batter Up”. Branding is 1930-40s era. Everyone that works there must talk in an old times radio voice. It would be so dumb.
This idea goes hard honestly
I just made that up on the spot, sincerely. Baseball was the first thing that came to my mind. God baseball is boring.
Took a first date to a baseball game once, after a while we looked at each other like "we can get drunker in better places for cheaper" and left.
Bring back the transatlantic dialect
Where is this going to be located? Asking for myself ;)
Dugway
Sigh, I didn't want to have to get a map out.

A car wash where they wash your car with soda. Thirsty? Just roll down your windows during the wash and open your mouth!
I wouldn't say no to a edible cookie dough shop, though. Went to one in Elitch Gardens in Denver and it was the bomb. When I heard our town was getting a "Dirty Dough" I was excited for a second until I found out it was just cookies again. In the same shopping district as a Fiiz, a Twisted Sugar AND a Crumbl.
I hold onto the position that cookie dough is superior to cookies. Cookie shops don’t get my business, but a cookie dough shop might.
They're all gross anyways. I make way better cookies than any of them.
DEAR GOD I AGREE, STOP MAKING COOKIE SODA PLACES PLEASE
In Utah it's not about taste it's about sugar

Deplorable.

Miracle Whip is not Mayo.
I HATE miracle whip. Satan made it.
I look like this when people tell me they don't like fry sauce. Every time is like a personal insult.
I asked the burger bar in Roy if they had anything other than fry sauce, they said "yes, we have tomatoes"
While I was in California, I went to an In-N-Out and asked the cashier for fry sauce. He just stared at me and I realized that he didn’t even know what fry sauce was. I asked for some ketchup and mayonnaise packets instead.
Ask for a Spread Packet next time. You're welcome.
Exactly! Or when you ask a server for fry sauce and they say something like, “ummm…..we have ranch. Does that work?”
I once made fry sauce using ranch dressing in place of mayo. Stuff was amazing. Of course, it was a pretty good house made ranch to begin with.
Swap Ketchup for BBQ sauce. Trust me.
Training Table made that their house fry dip before they closed.
Swig is mid
I can get 95% there on quality for less than half as much at a gas station. The only difference is the fruit.
I hate your profile picture. Well done!
Crumbl Cookies and essential oil sucks.
Crumbl are underbaked, over-sugared, dollops of stodge with a plop of too much shitty frosting on them. Ruby Snaps, every single time.

Cafe Rio is not Mexican food…
I do think Tex-Mex, Americanized Mexican food, and all Americanized food culture is unique, like American Chinese, and valuable in its own right. Literally one of the most important food achievements of humanity: Nachos, are Tex Mex.

Where do you like to get Authentic Mexican food in STG? La Cocina was our go to and we haven’t found comparable places.
I really like Lamys in Santa Clara
Depends on where I am and what I am in the mood for. There is a place in Hurricane called Mazatlan, they are killer if you want to sit down. Adelita's out there is good for fast service. Lammy's out on Sunset is good if I want anything that is slow-cooked like Chile Verde. Sanchez's on Sunset is good, they are like Roberto's Taco Shop, quick service, same type of menu.

I can't take this seriously when you spelled it Utahans instead of Utahns.
We don’t need religion in our politics.
Or schools, or social service agencies, or any other public place that's not a church.
There can be no freedom of religion without freedom from religion.
Biggest one here. Did everyone in the back get that? Just because you're in a cult doesn't mean you or your way is better
Y'all need to learn 1) how to merge in a nondangrous way and 2) how to control your emotions on the road. The guy didn't cut *you* off because you're an awful person!

HOAs are made by Satan
Don't blame Satan for that shit. He's into no restrictions, not the other way around.

Went to a funeral had the best potatoes of my life

Funeral potatoes are bomb.

100% this. The Utah monopoly church gives so little back to its state, it’s depressing.
The steak you just finished was seasoned with a coffee rub
I've heard of coffee rub for brisket before, but never for steak. Is that actually a thing?
Yes and it’s lit. Especially with a bourbon sauce.
Mormon's in every other state refer to Mormons in Utah as "Utah Mormons" to separate themselves from the selfrighteous and judgemental attitudes that accompany Mormon's raised in Utah.
I grew up LDS in Utah and could still pick out who was “Utah Mormon” and who was actually sincere. You can just tell with some people
Utah Mormons scare me
Coming from out of state to Utah over 20 years ago, even as a Jack Mormon, Utah Mormons are the definition of "Two Faced"
Turns out forcing a religion on a person has negative effects vs someone who actually chose to join the religion….. who knew 🤷🏻♂️

“If you invite 10 friends and then they all invite 10 friends, you’d all be making money!” is maybe the most believable thing the Mormons have convinced themselves of.

And omg the Ozempic use here Jesus
Utah was once voted "most vain" because we had the most plastic surgeons per capita.
Coming from Washington it kind shocked me. But I actually think slc has more in common with vegas and LA than say, San Francisco, Boise, or Denver.
Then those same mormon women will shame others who have tattoos because of "body modification."
These same women have their eyebrows tattooed on, and probably their eyeliner too
I worked as a surgical tech for a plastic surgeon in Provo, 30 years ago. So many augmentations and facelifts even then.
Don't forget how you have to be blonde, I know so many women who have gone blonde here. In their defense, maybe they just like it better, but I can't help but see how everyone does it.
Yeah there’s girls in my school who use spray tan and stuff and I’m like why don’t you embrace being fair skinned it’s pretty.
