Welcome to The Senate Site

By Lyle Hillyard
Utah State Senator, District 25

I went to my garden on Saturday and was glad to dig the last of the carrots I buried under leaves in the fall. That is something I learned as a child growing up on a small farm in Smithfield where the proper winter storage of our produce meant that we had good things to eat during the winter. Yes we had grocery stores in Smithfield but the produce was not as you would find in them now.

It was a beautiful day to work outside. I was also able to cane the raspberries and till the full garden. Before too long, I will plant some peas and potatoes so we'll have new potatoes and creamed peas as soon as they grow. With the low snow pack, I am concerned about irrigation water this summer. Good news! We are supposed to receive rain and possibly snow this Wednesday.

I really appreciate the insights this post brings to critical public policy issues in Utah.

Seen any good movies lately?

Did children growing up in Smithfield back in the day have to walk to school uphill both ways in ten feet of snow?
