The extreme weather has severely impacted Utah's agricultural sector. Over 90% of the state remains in severe or worse drought, with reservoirs at just 50% capacity. Farmers have faced water shortages, reduced crop yields, and increased costs, such as purchasing hay for livestock. The spring cold snap caused the worst fruit losses in over 50 years, leaving many growers with little to no production. Wildfires have burned over 560,000 acres, the second-highest total in state history, further straining resources and livelihoods.
