Agency: Agriculture Line Item: Administration Function The DAF Administration line item contains most of the department's programs. Detail on each program can be found in the following sections.
Intent Language Under the terms of 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for General Administration in Item 188, Chapter 2, Laws of Utah 2010, shall not lapse at the close of FY 2011. Expenditures of these funds are limited to: Capital Equipment or Improvements $118,000; Computer Equipment/Software $93,000; Employee Training/Incentives $179,000; Equipment/Supplies $95,500; Vehicles $20,000; Special Projects/Studies $1,213,000. Performance  Inspectors from the Weights and Measures program inspect all gasoline stations in the state. They test the gas pumps to insure that they are metering the gasoline dispensed properly, test the gasoline in the underground storage tanks to insure that the water content is below safe minimums, test the octane percentage of the gasoline dispensed, and inspect the cleanliness of the facility.
If the gasoline station does not meet the required standards in any one of these areas it is considered to be out of compliance. The goal is to have the highest number of stations meeting the standards as possible. The graph above represents the percentage of facilities processing food that are identified as 'High Risk' facilities. High Risk facilities are those that, for any reason, do not meeting minimum industry standards as required by law. Such facilities could pose a high risk for contamination if the items are not processed properly. The preference on this measure is that the percentage be as low as possible. It should be noted that a target of 0% would be ideal, but since we don't live in an ideal world, it is reasonable to expect that this measure will always be something greater than 0%.Funding Detail | Sources of Finance | 2008

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Chemistry Laboratory Function The Chemistry Laboratory provides analytical support and services for the various divisions of the department. Analysis may be performed for other agencies as long as it does not interfere with work required by the department. In all cases, the purpose of the work is to ensure that products comply with label guarantees, are free of pathogens and toxins, and to protect the consumer, farmer, and industry. Some of the products tested are feed, fertilizer, pesticides, meat and meat products, dairy products, food, groundwater, and other items as needed. Statutory Authority UCA 4-2-2 requires the state chemist to be appointed by the commissioner and lists the chemist's responsibilities. The state chemist performs all analytical tests required by the Agricultural Code. The lab may perform tests for other agencies or anybody else if the tests don't interfere with work required by UDAF, and if a fee is charged. Funding Detail | Sources of Finance | 2008

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Sheep Promotion Function The department contracts with the Utah Woolgrowers Association to conduct promotional and educational programs. Statistical data and market information are presented to all woolgrowers comparing market price of lambs in Utah with other areas of the country so that the best market decisions might be made. Department representatives meet with woolgrowers at regular meetings to help stimulate and strengthen sheep and wool producer programs by discussing problems facing the industry and the alternatives necessary to solve them. Statutory Authority UCA 4-23-8 authorizes the department to spend up to $0.18 per head each year from the proceeds collected from the 'head tax' on sheep for the promotion, advancement, and protection of the sheep interests of the state.

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Brand Inspection Function The Brand Inspection program was established to keep to a minimum the loss of livestock through theft and stray. Loss prevention is accomplished through enforcement of the brand and estray laws (UCA 4-24 and 4-25) by field and auction inspectors who check all cattle and horses prior to sale, slaughter, or movement across state lines. The program also maintains a brand recording system so that ownership of animals can be readily determined through a master brand identification book. The brand book is published every five years. This program is actively involved in tying the existing brand program to the new Animal Disease Traceability (ADT), where each livestock owner will be issued a premises I.D. number. This number was added to the brand card for easy reference as the system develops. ADT is a modern, streamlined information system that helps producers and animal health officials respond quickly and effectively to animal health events in the United States. The ADT program-a voluntary State-Federal-Industry partnership-is designed to: - Protect agriculture premises and producers livelihoods;
- Reduce hardships caused by an animal disease outbreak or other animal health events in the community; and
- Protect access to agriculture markets.
In 1997 the Legislature gave this program responsibility of monitoring and regulating elk farming, and in 1999, private elk hunting. Livestock inspectors ensure animal identification, theft protection, genetic purity, and disease control. Domestic elk are now included in the department's definition of livestock.

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Environmental Quality Function This program provides incentive funding assistance to farmers and ranchers to voluntarily implement structural and management practices which help prevent animal waste and soil sediment from entering the state's water in priority watersheds. Funds are also used in conjunction with private and other government resources. This program is divided into three areas: Watershed Management, Groundwater Management, and Information and Education. Assistance is given to farmers and ranchers to meet the mandates of the federal Clean Water Act and the water quality rules of the State of Utah. The conservation arm of this program helps farmers and ranchers protect the state's soil and water resources through soil conservation and water quality programs, coordination of the ARDL (Agriculture Resource Development
Loan) program, the EPA 319 Water Quality program, rangeland monitoring, and a groundwater monitoring program. Funding Detail Federal funds are granted to assist irrigators in improving irrigation efficiency. The funding is also for protecting water quality and for promoting specialty crops relating to groundwater salinity. The improved irrigation reduces saline waters from entering the Colorado River System. | Sources of Finance | 2008

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Grazing Improvement Function The goal of the Grazing Improvement Program (GIP) is to incorporate the most effective use of federal, state, and private land. Staff works with landowners to identify what activities would allow the land to be profitable and still remain environmentally strong. Statutory Authority UCA 4-20 creates the Grazing Improvement Program. Funding Detail The Grazing Improvement Program budget, as found in the General Administration line item, represents the administrative costs of the program's operation, covering personnel, travel, current expense, and other general operating expenditures. In a separate line item, the Rangeland Improvement line item, the Legislature has appropriated the funding for the GIP projects. That funding is not used for administrative costs related to the creation of the projects. | Sources of Finance | 2008
