The victims of trafficking in Utah agriculture and other areas does seem to be a growing problem in the last 5-10 years or so. So I'm not saying it's always been the problem it is today or that was the case with your dad. BYU has recently stated having conferences about the problem recognizing it is a growing problem here in Utah. There last conference was last month or I'd suggest you attend to learn about the extent of the current problem. Remember the cryptosporidium outbreak in salt lake county a few years ago. The little kids spread it in swimming pools. They got it first from treated water that was contaminated by livestock. This is a long term problem that intermittently flares up. I don't think you have an open enough mind that you actually read any of my links or did the google searches I suggested but just in case a few want to understand the problem here's a link to county data on crypto for the last few years.

If you click on the 2010 crypto surveillance the file will show data for the last 4 years. Weber-Morgan Health Districts where East Creek Reservoir is shows 148 cases in the last 4 years. And most cases of illness don't see a doctor or even if they do don't get diagnosed so the true number is many times higher.
