Brent Davis, a farmer from West Weber, Utah, prides himself on growing exceptional tomatoes, which he attributes to the rich minerals from the nearby Great Salt Lake. His family has been farming for four generations but is now confronted with the challenges posed by suburban sprawl and industrial development, notably the Utah Inland Port Authority's establishment of a large industrial zone. This encroachment threatens the rural character of the area and the ecosystem surrounding the lake, which has drastically shrunk over the years, resulting in environmental concerns such as arsenic dust from the drying lakebed.
Davis laments the changes near his farm, saying, 'They're taking away the natural environment for their concrete jungles. Some people really love concrete jungles. I don't.'
Brent Davis believes his tomatoes are superior, attributing their taste to minerals from the Great Salt Lake, stating, 'My wife says they're already salted.'
