Several Utah food banks were recent recipients of 39,600 pounds of produce donated by the Utah State University Cooperative Extension Food Pantry Garden at the Utah Botanical Center in Kaysville. The more than five-fold increase over last year's donated produce will make an even larger dent in Utah hunger this year.
As more USDA programs are linked in multiple ways to federal income tax returns, there is an increasing need to have accurate information available for farmers, ranchers and other producers. The recently launched RuralTax.org website includes 20 peer-reviewed fact sheets on such topics as the definition of a farmer, depreciation and 1099 information returns.
