1 The number of pounds of sugar extracted per ton of sugar beets harvested on the farms included in 
rhe investigation is unusually high for Idaho, because a high percentage of the beets were manufactured 
nto sugar at the Twin Falls plant. which employs the Stetfens process. 
NoTE.—A minus (—) sign indicates that the average pounds of sugar extracted per ton of beets harvested 
yn all farms was greater than the average pounds extracted per ton of beets harvested on the farms
