text_A: In the 1850s an attempt was made in Utah by the LDS Church-owned Deseret Manufacturing Company to grow and process sugar beets, that failed for several reasons. First, the beet seeds they imported from France were not able to produce much sugar in the heavily salinized soil of Utah. Second, the cost of importing the beet seed from France consumed any possibility for profit. Finally, none of the people running the factory knew how to properly use the chemicals to separate the sugar from the beet pulp.
text_B: Could you draw the cynical conclusion that the jobs of running sugar refineries, which probably promised high wages, were given out as political favors rather than given to the people who had the skills to perform the complex job?
YES.
