Intense drought this summer made cultivating crops a tremendous challenge. A Beaver County rancher and farmer switched from growing alfalfa to grass in recent years to conserve water, but was only able to produce a quarter of the grass as usual. He took advantage of Utah’s Water Optimization Program to replace the cement in an irrigation ditch so it leaked less.
