Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Company Box 5308, Denver, Colo. 80217 (303) 534-2182 James Lyon Director, Information Services FOR RELEASE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 Precisely on schedule for the 1968 sugar beet harvest, the newest sugar factory in the United States is "open for business". A special open house, Saturday, September 21 will provide the public with a first-hand view of the Frank A. Kemp Factory of Great Western Sugar Company, a giant $15 million facility located in the heart of America near the Kansas-colorado border, 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas. Robert R. Owen, president of Great Western Sugar, said that the plant is second largest of G W Sugar's eighteen factories which serve the efficient sugar beet producing regions of the mid-west. The new plant has a slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per 24-hour period. About. 200 persons will be employed during the "campaign", the around-the-clock produc- tion season of about 130 days. The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board of GWS and leader of the American beet sugar industry for 31 years. Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 2 - an average of 325 men per day. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, super- visors, technicians and other personnel, except a few con- tracted structures. Kemp Factory sugar production for the current campaign will exceed 100,000,000 pounds, or enough to supply the total consumer and food processor needs of the State of Kansas for 9 months. By-product production will include about 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. Beet plantings this year in the Kemp Factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres, about twice those of 1967. Because of the large increase, the Kemp Factory will be able to process only about 2/3 of the beets in the district. The rest will be diverted to Great Western factories in Colorado. The harvest of the beets is entirely mechanized, and takes about 6 weeks. Beets in the Kemp Factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the com- pany's growers consistently exceed other beet growers in the United States in sugar yield per acre. One acre of beets Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 3 - here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Kemp district beets yield more than twice as much sugar as those of the Soviet Union, the world's largest beet sugar producer. In addition, beets offer an important second crop - feed for livestock - from the top and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a definite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp Factory district alone are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will surpass $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural receipts turn over seven times in a community. The Great Western Sugar Company, largest independent producer of beet sugar in the world, was organized in 1905 with 6 sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about 1/4 of the nation's beet sugar and about 7 percent of all sugar distributed in Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 4 - the country. Total sugar beet acreage under G W Sugar con- tract is more than 300,000 acres. The Great Western Sugar Company maintains 9 sugar factories in Northern Colorado, 4 in Western Nebraska, 2 in Northern Ohio, 1 each in Wyoming, Montana and Kansas, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The company operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth; a limestone quarry in Wyoming; and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. William M. White, Jr. president and chairman of the board of Great Western United, directs a vigorous management in the marketing of food products and food services on a national and international level. He sees G W United as "an inventive, flexibile, and imaginative company whose business is to predict, identify, serve and grow with the shifting needs of a changing society in our own country and around the world. " Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 5 - In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, G W United encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar (Great Western Sugar Company) i flour (colorado Milling & Elevator Company) i package mixes with flour and other ingred- ients (Great Western Foods Company) ; specialty restaurant dishes (Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc.) ; and overseas interests in foods and food services (Great Western International Ltd. ) . In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its marketing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, G W Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial lime products. Special trains, celebrities, remote broadcasts and tours by more than 10,000 visitors will highlight dedication cere- monies of the Kemp Factory during an "open house" to be held Saturday, September 21, 1968. - 30 - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 FACT SHEET for the FRANK A. KEMP SUGAR FACTORY LOCATION : 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas, and 28 miles east of Burlington, Colorado on U. S. Highway 24 (Interstate 70), 415 miles west of Kansas City, and 200 miles east of Denver. NAME : The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board, for his long and outstanding service to both the company and the beet sugar industry. A Great Westerner for 44 years, Mr. Kemp was chief executive officer for 31 years until his retirement in 1967. COST: In excess of $15,000,000 CONSTRUCTION Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing an average of 325 men per day for the last year. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, supervisors, technicians and other personnel, except for a few contracted structures. CAPAC The factory is the second largest in the Great Western system with normal slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per day (24 hours). slicing refers to the volume of beets that can be cut up and introduced into the process each day, with the actual daily capacity depending upon a number of variables, including operating conditions, quality of the beet, weather, etc. PRODUCTION: Processing operations will start on a break-in basis about Sept. 25. The production season, or sugar-making "campaign," will be an around- the-clock operation for about 130 days. Sugar production for the first campaign is expected to exceed 100,000,000 pounds, enough to supply Kansas families and food pro- cessors for nine months. Refined sugar will be sacked in 100-pound paper bags or stored in bulk in the eight sugar bins (silos) for shipment by special rail cars to food processors in the mid-continent area. By-product output will include more than 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. EMPLOYMENT: About 200 persons will be employed during the campaign or processing season. Of these, about 55 will be permanent supervisors and per. sonnel engaged in all the year-around functions, including operations, maintenance, chemical control, agriculture and accounting. (These figures do not include large numbers of persons in the district who farm, or work on farms, in the production of sugar beets.). -1- - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 BEET CROP: Sugar beets, a basic crop in irrigated agriculture, provide the raw material for the factory. They are produced by growers under con- tract with the company on farms in eight counties on or near the border between Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. ACREAGE : Beet plantings this year in the Kemp factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres - nearly twice that of last year. As a result of overwhelming production by growers, the Kemp factory will be able to process only about two-thirds of the beets in the district. The other beets will be shipped by rail to Great Western factories in Colorado. HARVEST: The harvest of beets, entirely mechanized, begins late in September and continues for about six weeks. All beets will be delivered by truck and will be handled at the factory by mechanical equipment. At the factory, the beets will be fed directly into the factory process or stored in huge piles for later processing. These piles will reach the mountainous proportions of about 240,000 tons of sugar beets, the largest single beet receiving station in the Great Western territory. YIELDS : Beets in the Kemp factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the company's growers consistently produce more sugar per acre than the U.S. industry as a whole. One acre of beets here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar, in half as much time. Beets in the Kemp district yield more than twice the amount of sugar than those in the Soviet Union, the largest producer of beet sugar in the world. In addition, beets offer a second crop-- feed for livestock--from the tops and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. PAYMENTS : Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a defi- nite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp factory district are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will exceed $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural returns turn over seven times in a community. GW SUGAR The Great Western Sugar Company, largest producer of beet sugar in the nation, was organized in 1905 with six sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about one-fourth of the nation's beet sugar and about seven percent of all sugar distributed in the country. LOCATIONS The Great Western Sugar system embraces 18 factories in six states, including the new Kemp factory, with adjacent sugar beet acreage in all areas totaling more than 300,000 acres. The Kemp factory is the second largest in the system, with built-in provisions for expansion of capacity. 2 Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 There are nine sugar factories in Northern Colorado, four in Western Nebraska, two in Northern Ohio, one each in Wyoming and Montana, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Great Western also operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth, along with a limestone quarry in Wyoming and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. GW UNITED: As the parent firm, GW United concentrates on vigorous management and marketing of food products and food services. These range from bulk supplies for food processors, as with sugar, to highly specialized dishes for the restaurant table, all aimed for modern consumer trends, whether for a meal or for manufacturing, both in this country and abroad. EXPANS ION: In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, GW United now encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar, from Great Western Sugar flour, from the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company package mixes with flour and other ingredients, from the Great Western Foods Company specialty restaurant dishes, from Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc restaurant operations, from the Great Western Restaurant Company. and overseas interests in foods and food services, from Great Western International, Ltd. ACQUISITIONS In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its market- ing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, GW Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial 1 ime products. Colorado Milling and Elevator recently assumed operation for GW United of the Emerald Christmas Tree Company, in Michigan and British Columbia, with the purpose of expanding supermarket sales of trees throughout North America.

Owen, President, The Great Western Sugar Company, at dedication of Frank A. Kemp factory, September 21, 1968. "While I am here, I should like to tell you that all of us connected with Great Western are highly pleased to be an integral part of this progressive, outstanding area of western Kansas and eastern Colorado. You have been most kind in accepting us as friends and neighbors. You have leaned over backwards in making us feel at home. We are indeed grateful. "Structures like this magnificent factory are much more than steel, concrete, brick, mortar, and glass. They represent dedicated people. They represent investors with wisdom and courage. They represent detailed plans and months of effort. They represent years of accumulated knowledge. "So many people have had a hand in the successful completion of this factory that I hesitate to single out any of the workers or supervisors for special praise. It took the cooperation and good workmanship of everyone to get the excellent job done and in time for handling the outstanding crop of beets that growers will be delivering, starting next week. But there are a few persons I am sure you would want me to recognize. "Let me first introduce the Great Westerners who were directly in charge of the construction project. They are Jack Corsberg, Tony Flasco, Merle Fleenor, and Jim Amos. In applauding these men for their superior leadership, we are extending heartfelt thanks and congratulations to everyone who put dedication and hard work into construction of this important facility. "This factory, in processing the sugarbeets produced on a couple of hundred farms in a nine-county area, will pour millions of dollars of wealth into the economic bloodstream of a vast region. "The biggest single item will be the 11 million dollars or more that the growers will receive in payments for their 1968 beets. With agricultural receipts estimated to turn over about seven times in a community, these beet payments will mean about 75 million dollars in business activity for western Kansas and eastern Colorado. And there will be additional millions of dollars disbursed in the area in the form of payrolls, taxes, supplies, and transportation payments.

From less than 600 acres in 1957, the land in beets in this area has grown to more than 41,000 acres. Since last year the acreage has doubled. How much we grow from here depends in large part on the Sugar Act and acreage allotments, if any, determined thereunder. "You can and should be justly proud of your farmers. They are as productive and progressive as any growing beets for Great Western in an 8-state area. The average output of sugar per acre in this Kansas-eastern Colorado area, which is the combination of yield of beets and sugar content, exceeds the per acre output for the remainder of the United States. The sugar outturn per acre in this new factory district is twice that of the Soviet Union, the largest sugarbeet producer in the world. Demonstrating the efficiency of the American system, an acre of beets here in Kansas and eastern Colorado will produce half again as much sugar in the 7-month growing season as an acre of cane makes in Cuba in 14 months. And Cuba is the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Yes, you should be proud of your growers. "And talking about pride, we at Great Western are proud, too. I trust you will accept that word in its nicest concept. We certainly never intend to be haughty or arrogant. We are proud of our growers. We are proud to be a part of this vital community. And we are proud of the caliber of our employees and the quality of our products. We are proud of our reputation as a good citizen and a good neighbor and of our leadership in the domestic beet sugar industry. "We will not bore you with an account of accomplishments. Instead we will try to let our actions over the months and years ahead speak for us. We trust they will prove our dedication to the economic well-being of this great region of the West. "And now I am pleased to present a man who more than any other is responsible for this factory being here today. He represents the fourth generation of a Pueblo, Colorado, family to be connected with our Company, the president and chairman of the board of directors of the Great Western United Corporation, Mr. William M. White. (REMARKS BY MR. WHITE AND CAKE-CUTTING CEREMONY) "Thank you, Mr. White, and you other cake-cutters. "And now I should like to present the top men of GW's local management and have them group around me -- The man in charge of agriculture, your master of ceremonies, LaMar Henry.

One of the things of which we are most proud is the fact that from 1936 until 1967 Great Western's chief executive, now retired, was Frank A. Kemp, the recognized leader of the entire domestic sugar industry. Frank, will you please join me at the microphone? "When a spokesman for sugar was needed in Washington, it was this man who usually did the talking. When an industry problem needed solving, it was this man whose advice was first sought. When international sugar conferences were called in Geneva, Switzerland, or in London, or in Mexico City, it was this man who was foremost among the American advisors. "It is fitting and proper, therefore, that this plant -- designed, built, and managed by many of the men trained by Mr. Sugar himself -- be hereafter known as the Frank A. Kemp factory. Mr. Kemp, I am happy to unveil this plaque in your honor, and turn this microphone over to you. (REMARKS BY MR. KEMP) "Thank you, Frank. With such a great Westerner's name as yours identified with this factory, we know it will be a credit to the industry and a lasting tribute to your great leadership and important contributions. "Jim Amos, on behalf of the board of directors of Great Western United Corporation, I present this plaque to the local management staff. (REMARKS BY MR. AMOS) "That, ladies and gentlemen, concludes the formal program. Thank you, again, for being with us."

WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 29, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr. , was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.

OWEN, who rose to management from the engineering profession, is president of The Great Western Sugar Company with offices in Denver. Owen came to GW Sugar in February of 1968 from the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, where he was general manager of equipment operations. In his 12 years with Ford, Owen advanced through a succession of management posts. He started in the tractor and implement manufacturing division, utilizing his experience as an agricultural engineer. Earlier, Owen was manager of the engineering department of the Pineapple Research Institute in Hawaii, where he began his career as an agricultural engineer for Del Monte Corporation. In between his Hawaiian assignments, he was a technical representative for DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware. At GW Sugar, Owen completes a full circle from his first acquaintance with sugar beets at the University of California at Davis, where he earned his engineering degree. During World War 11, Owen served with the Corps of Engineers and now holds the rank of brigadier general in the U. S. Army Reserve.

KEMP for outstanding leadership and service to the American Beet Sugar Industry as chief executive officer The Great Western Sugar Company. 1936 - 1967. 11 So reads the inscription on the bronze dedication plaque for the newest sugar factory in the nation. Frank A. Kemp was selected for the honor because of his personal contribution to the company for nearly half of its corporate life. Now retired in Denver, Kemp was president from 1936 to 1966, when he became chairman of the board. He retired in 1967. For two decades, Kemp represented the sugar industry in appearance before Congressional hearings. He was also influential in world sugar circles as industry advisor at International Sugar Conferences. In 1937, Kemp was first elected president of the United States Beet Sugar Association and he later was chairman of both the executive and legislative committees of the American Sugar Beet Industry Policy Committee. His leadership was acclaimed in 1959 with the coveted award of "Sugar Man of the Year." A Great Westerner for 44 years, Kemp was born in Omaha, Nebraska, reared in Wyoming and Denver, Colorado, and graduated in law from the University of Colorado, where he was an outstanding athlete.

A special open house, Saturday, September 21 will provide the public with a first-hand view of the Frank A. Kemp Factory of Great Western Sugar Company, a giant $15 million facility located in the heart of America near the Kansas-colorado border, 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas. Robert R. Owen, president of Great Western Sugar, said that the plant is second largest of G W Sugar's eighteen factories which serve the efficient sugar beet producing regions of the mid-west. The new plant has a slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per 24-hour period. About. 200 persons will be employed during the "campaign", the around-the-clock produc- tion season of about 130 days. The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board of GWS and leader of the American beet sugar industry for 31 years. Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 2 - an average of 325 men per day. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, super- visors, technicians and other personnel, except a few con- tracted structures. Kemp Factory sugar production for the current campaign will exceed 100,000,000 pounds, or enough to supply the total consumer and food processor needs of the State of Kansas for 9 months. By-product production will include about 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. Beet plantings this year in the Kemp Factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres, about twice those of 1967. Because of the large increase, the Kemp Factory will be able to process only about 2/3 of the beets in the district. The rest will be diverted to Great Western factories in Colorado. The harvest of the beets is entirely mechanized, and takes about 6 weeks. Beets in the Kemp Factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the com- pany's growers consistently exceed other beet growers in the United States in sugar yield per acre. One acre of beets Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 3 - here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Kemp district beets yield more than twice as much sugar as those of the Soviet Union, the world's largest beet sugar producer. In addition, beets offer an important second crop - feed for livestock - from the top and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a definite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp Factory district alone are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will surpass $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural receipts turn over seven times in a community. The Great Western Sugar Company, largest independent producer of beet sugar in the world, was organized in 1905 with 6 sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about 1/4 of the nation's beet sugar and about 7 percent of all sugar distributed in Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 4 - the country. Total sugar beet acreage under G W Sugar con- tract is more than 300,000 acres. The Great Western Sugar Company maintains 9 sugar factories in Northern Colorado, 4 in Western Nebraska, 2 in Northern Ohio, 1 each in Wyoming, Montana and Kansas, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The company operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth; a limestone quarry in Wyoming; and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. William M. White, Jr. president and chairman of the board of Great Western United, directs a vigorous management in the marketing of food products and food services on a national and international level. He sees G W United as "an inventive, flexibile, and imaginative company whose business is to predict, identify, serve and grow with the shifting needs of a changing society in our own country and around the world.

These include sugar (Great Western Sugar Company) i flour (colorado Milling & Elevator Company) i package mixes with flour and other ingred- ients (Great Western Foods Company) ; specialty restaurant dishes (Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc.) ; and overseas interests in foods and food services (Great Western International Ltd. ) . In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its marketing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, G W Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial lime products.

KEMP SUGAR FACTORY LOCATION : 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas, and 28 miles east of Burlington, Colorado on U. S. Highway 24 (Interstate 70), 415 miles west of Kansas City, and 200 miles east of Denver. NAME : The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board, for his long and outstanding service to both the company and the beet sugar industry. A Great Westerner for 44 years, Mr. Kemp was chief executive officer for 31 years until his retirement in 1967. COST: In excess of $15,000,000 CONSTRUCTION Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing an average of 325 men per day for the last year. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, supervisors, technicians and other personnel, except for a few contracted structures. CAPAC The factory is the second largest in the Great Western system with normal slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per day (24 hours). slicing refers to the volume of beets that can be cut up and introduced into the process each day, with the actual daily capacity depending upon a number of variables, including operating conditions, quality of the beet, weather, etc. PRODUCTION: Processing operations will start on a break-in basis about Sept. 25. The production season, or sugar-making "campaign," will be an around- the-clock operation for about 130 days. Sugar production for the first campaign is expected to exceed 100,000,000 pounds, enough to supply Kansas families and food pro- cessors for nine months. Refined sugar will be sacked in 100-pound paper bags or stored in bulk in the eight sugar bins (silos) for shipment by special rail cars to food processors in the mid-continent area. By-product output will include more than 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. EMPLOYMENT: About 200 persons will be employed during the campaign or processing season. Of these, about 55 will be permanent supervisors and per. sonnel engaged in all the year-around functions, including operations, maintenance, chemical control, agriculture and accounting. (These figures do not include large numbers of persons in the district who farm, or work on farms, in the production of sugar beets.). -1- - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 BEET CROP: Sugar beets, a basic crop in irrigated agriculture, provide the raw material for the factory. They are produced by growers under con- tract with the company on farms in eight counties on or near the border between Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. ACREAGE : Beet plantings this year in the Kemp factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres - nearly twice that of last year. As a result of overwhelming production by growers, the Kemp factory will be able to process only about two-thirds of the beets in the district. The other beets will be shipped by rail to Great Western factories in Colorado. HARVEST: The harvest of beets, entirely mechanized, begins late in September and continues for about six weeks. All beets will be delivered by truck and will be handled at the factory by mechanical equipment. At the factory, the beets will be fed directly into the factory process or stored in huge piles for later processing. These piles will reach the mountainous proportions of about 240,000 tons of sugar beets, the largest single beet receiving station in the Great Western territory. YIELDS : Beets in the Kemp factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the company's growers consistently produce more sugar per acre than the U.S. industry as a whole. One acre of beets here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar, in half as much time. Beets in the Kemp district yield more than twice the amount of sugar than those in the Soviet Union, the largest producer of beet sugar in the world. In addition, beets offer a second crop-- feed for livestock--from the tops and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. PAYMENTS : Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a defi- nite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp factory district are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will exceed $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural returns turn over seven times in a community. GW SUGAR The Great Western Sugar Company, largest producer of beet sugar in the nation, was organized in 1905 with six sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about one-fourth of the nation's beet sugar and about seven percent of all sugar distributed in the country. LOCATIONS The Great Western Sugar system embraces 18 factories in six states, including the new Kemp factory, with adjacent sugar beet acreage in all areas totaling more than 300,000 acres. The Kemp factory is the second largest in the system, with built-in provisions for expansion of capacity. 2 Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 There are nine sugar factories in Northern Colorado, four in Western Nebraska, two in Northern Ohio, one each in Wyoming and Montana, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Great Western also operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth, along with a limestone quarry in Wyoming and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. GW UNITED: As the parent firm, GW United concentrates on vigorous management and marketing of food products and food services. These range from bulk supplies for food processors, as with sugar, to highly specialized dishes for the restaurant table, all aimed for modern consumer trends, whether for a meal or for manufacturing, both in this country and abroad. EXPANS ION: In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, GW United now encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar, from Great Western Sugar flour, from the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company package mixes with flour and other ingredients, from the Great Western Foods Company specialty restaurant dishes, from Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc restaurant operations, from the Great Western Restaurant Company. and overseas interests in foods and food services, from Great Western International, Ltd. ACQUISITIONS In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its market- ing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, GW Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial 1 ime products. Colorado Milling and Elevator recently assumed operation for GW United of the Emerald Christmas Tree Company, in Michigan and British Columbia, with the purpose of expanding supermarket sales of trees throughout North America.

Owen, President, The Great Western Sugar Company, at dedication of Frank A. Kemp factory, September 21, 1968. "While I am here, I should like to tell you that all of us connected with Great Western are highly pleased to be an integral part of this progressive, outstanding area of western Kansas and eastern Colorado. You have been most kind in accepting us as friends and neighbors. You have leaned over backwards in making us feel at home. We are indeed grateful. "Structures like this magnificent factory are much more than steel, concrete, brick, mortar, and glass. They represent dedicated people. They represent investors with wisdom and courage. They represent detailed plans and months of effort. They represent years of accumulated knowledge. "So many people have had a hand in the successful completion of this factory that I hesitate to single out any of the workers or supervisors for special praise. It took the cooperation and good workmanship of everyone to get the excellent job done and in time for handling the outstanding crop of beets that growers will be delivering, starting next week. But there are a few persons I am sure you would want me to recognize. "Let me first introduce the Great Westerners who were directly in charge of the construction project. They are Jack Corsberg, Tony Flasco, Merle Fleenor, and Jim Amos. In applauding these men for their superior leadership, we are extending heartfelt thanks and congratulations to everyone who put dedication and hard work into construction of this important facility. "This factory, in processing the sugarbeets produced on a couple of hundred farms in a nine-county area, will pour millions of dollars of wealth into the economic bloodstream of a vast region. "The biggest single item will be the 11 million dollars or more that the growers will receive in payments for their 1968 beets. With agricultural receipts estimated to turn over about seven times in a community, these beet payments will mean about 75 million dollars in business activity for western Kansas and eastern Colorado. And there will be additional millions of dollars disbursed in the area in the form of payrolls, taxes, supplies, and transportation payments. Source: https://wwwv.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 - -2- "From humble beginnings only 11 years ago, this enterprise has had a sound, steady growth. From less than 600 acres in 1957, the land in beets in this area has grown to more than 41,000 acres. Since last year the acreage has doubled. How much we grow from here depends in large part on the Sugar Act and acreage allotments, if any, determined thereunder. "You can and should be justly proud of your farmers. They are as productive and progressive as any growing beets for Great Western in an 8-state area. The average output of sugar per acre in this Kansas-eastern Colorado area, which is the combination of yield of beets and sugar content, exceeds the per acre output for the remainder of the United States. The sugar outturn per acre in this new factory district is twice that of the Soviet Union, the largest sugarbeet producer in the world. Demonstrating the efficiency of the American system, an acre of beets here in Kansas and eastern Colorado will produce half again as much sugar in the 7-month growing season as an acre of cane makes in Cuba in 14 months. And Cuba is the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Yes, you should be proud of your growers. "And talking about pride, we at Great Western are proud, too. I trust you will accept that word in its nicest concept. We certainly never intend to be haughty or arrogant. We are proud of our growers. We are proud to be a part of this vital community. And we are proud of the caliber of our employees and the quality of our products. We are proud of our reputation as a good citizen and a good neighbor and of our leadership in the domestic beet sugar industry. "We will not bore you with an account of accomplishments. Instead we will try to let our actions over the months and years ahead speak for us. We trust they will prove our dedication to the economic well-being of this great region of the West. "And now I am pleased to present a man who more than any other is responsible for this factory being here today. He represents the fourth generation of a Pueblo, Colorado, family to be connected with our Company, the president and chairman of the board of directors of the Great Western United Corporation, Mr. William M. White. (REMARKS BY MR. WHITE AND CAKE-CUTTING CEREMONY) "Thank you, Mr. White, and you other cake-cutters. "And now I should like to present the top men of GW's local management and have them group around me -- The man in charge of agriculture, your master of ceremonies, LaMar Henry. Next, the man in charge of factory operations, a native of Goodland, Superintendent Jim Amos. Then the office manager, Cashier Ralph Smith. Next, Construction Supervisor Merle Fleenor. Then our Chief Chemist, Stan Webster. And finally, Master Mechanic Carl Haffner.

One of the things of which we are most proud is the fact that from 1936 until 1967 Great Western's chief executive, now retired, was Frank A. Kemp, the recognized leader of the entire domestic sugar industry. Frank, will you please join me at the microphone? "When a spokesman for sugar was needed in Washington, it was this man who usually did the talking. When an industry problem needed solving, it was this man whose advice was first sought. When international sugar conferences were called in Geneva, Switzerland, or in London, or in Mexico City, it was this man who was foremost among the American advisors. "It is fitting and proper, therefore, that this plant -- designed, built, and managed by many of the men trained by Mr. Sugar himself -- be hereafter known as the Frank A. Kemp factory. Mr. Kemp, I am happy to unveil this plaque in your honor, and turn this microphone over to you. (REMARKS BY MR. KEMP) "Thank you, Frank. With such a great Westerner's name as yours identified with this factory, we know it will be a credit to the industry and a lasting tribute to your great leadership and important contributions. "Jim Amos, on behalf of the board of directors of Great Western United Corporation, I present this plaque to the local management staff. (REMARKS BY MR. AMOS) "That, ladies and gentlemen, concludes the formal program. Thank you, again, for being with us."

PRESENTATION OF PLAQUE TO FACTORY MANAGEMENT STAFF Acceptance by Jim Amos, Superintendent of Kemp Factory Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 WILLIAM M. WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 29, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr. , was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.

OWEN, who rose to management from the engineering profession, is president of The Great Western Sugar Company with offices in Denver. Owen came to GW Sugar in February of 1968 from the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, where he was general manager of equipment operations. In his 12 years with Ford, Owen advanced through a succession of management posts. He started in the tractor and implement manufacturing division, utilizing his experience as an agricultural engineer. Earlier, Owen was manager of the engineering department of the Pineapple Research Institute in Hawaii, where he began his career as an agricultural engineer for Del Monte Corporation. In between his Hawaiian assignments, he was a technical representative for DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware. At GW Sugar, Owen completes a full circle from his first acquaintance with sugar beets at the University of California at Davis, where he earned his engineering degree. During World War 11, Owen served with the Corps of Engineers and now holds the rank of brigadier general in the U. S. Army Reserve.

KEMP for outstanding leadership and service to the American Beet Sugar Industry as chief executive officer The Great Western Sugar Company. 1936 - 1967. 11 So reads the inscription on the bronze dedication plaque for the newest sugar factory in the nation. Frank A. Kemp was selected for the honor because of his personal contribution to the company for nearly half of its corporate life. Now retired in Denver, Kemp was president from 1936 to 1966, when he became chairman of the board. He retired in 1967. For two decades, Kemp represented the sugar industry in appearance before Congressional hearings. He was also influential in world sugar circles as industry advisor at International Sugar Conferences. In 1937, Kemp was first elected president of the United States Beet Sugar Association and he later was chairman of both the executive and legislative committees of the American Sugar Beet Industry Policy Committee. His leadership was acclaimed in 1959 with the coveted award of "Sugar Man of the Year." A Great Westerner for 44 years, Kemp was born in Omaha, Nebraska, reared in Wyoming and Denver, Colorado, and graduated in law from the University of Colorado, where he was an outstanding athlete.

Heiner, The Amalgamated Sugar Company Gentlemen: A group of nine French sugar company managers (operating departments) and seven wives plan to tour the U. S. between May 3 and 23. They previously advised me of the places they wish to visit and asked my assistance. The purpose of this letter is twofold: First, will you accept them in accordance with the itinerary as outlined; and secondly, would you provide me with the name of the most con- venient motel in the area at which they should stay? Reserva- tions will be made by a French travel agent. I have taken care of the Grand Canyon request. I would appreciate having a reply in about 10 days. Sincerely yours, Secretary-Treasurer James H. Fischer gas P.S. The original letters from Mr. Boiteau are apparently tied up in the dock strike; these are duplicates sent me as a result of their telephone call to me on January 30.

Thay ara : - Mr. Charles BOINET, Chairman of the Epenancourt Sugar Factory, Head of the Delegation, and his wife. - Mr. Paul MATHIEU, Chairman of the Vauciennes Sugar Factory and Refinery, Vice-President of the French National Sugar Manufacturers Union, and his wife.

As you can see, all the participants have the highest functions in the management of French sugar manufacturing firms, all are very competent technicians, but also businessmen who are responsible of commercial problems as well as technical ones.

BARS Thank you for your offer but, unfortunately, because of the exchange difficulties we shall rent them in Paris, so as to be able to pay in French francs. Your proposal is quite favourable but, if we pay in French francs, we are also allowed to have an interesting discount. At the beginning of January, I shall meet the persons going on this trip and we shall definitely determine the details of this journay that will undoubtedly be most profitable.

A special open house, Saturday, September 21 will provide the public with a first-hand view of the Frank A. Kemp Factory of Great Western Sugar Company, a giant $15 million facility located in the heart of America near the Kansas-colorado border, 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas. Robert R. Owen, president of Great Western Sugar, said that the plant is second largest of G W Sugar's eighteen factories which serve the efficient sugar beet producing regions of the mid-west. The new plant has a slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per 24-hour period. About. 200 persons will be employed during the "campaign", the around-the-clock produc- tion season of about 130 days. The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board of GWS and leader of the American beet sugar industry for 31 years. Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 2 - an average of 325 men per day. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, super- visors, technicians and other personnel, except a few con- tracted structures. Kemp Factory sugar production for the current campaign will exceed 100,000,000 pounds, or enough to supply the total consumer and food processor needs of the State of Kansas for 9 months. By-product production will include about 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. Beet plantings this year in the Kemp Factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres, about twice those of 1967. Because of the large increase, the Kemp Factory will be able to process only about 2/3 of the beets in the district. The rest will be diverted to Great Western factories in Colorado. The harvest of the beets is entirely mechanized, and takes about 6 weeks. Beets in the Kemp Factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the com- pany's growers consistently exceed other beet growers in the United States in sugar yield per acre. One acre of beets Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 3 - here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Kemp district beets yield more than twice as much sugar as those of the Soviet Union, the world's largest beet sugar producer. In addition, beets offer an important second crop - feed for livestock - from the top and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a definite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp Factory district alone are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will surpass $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural receipts turn over seven times in a community. The Great Western Sugar Company, largest independent producer of beet sugar in the world, was organized in 1905 with 6 sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about 1/4 of the nation's beet sugar and about 7 percent of all sugar distributed in Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 4 - the country. Total sugar beet acreage under G W Sugar con- tract is more than 300,000 acres. The Great Western Sugar Company maintains 9 sugar factories in Northern Colorado, 4 in Western Nebraska, 2 in Northern Ohio, 1 each in Wyoming, Montana and Kansas, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The company operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth; a limestone quarry in Wyoming; and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. William M. White, Jr. president and chairman of the board of Great Western United, directs a vigorous management in the marketing of food products and food services on a national and international level. He sees G W United as "an inventive, flexibile, and imaginative company whose business is to predict, identify, serve and grow with the shifting needs of a changing society in our own country and around the world. " Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 5 - In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, G W United encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar (Great Western Sugar Company) i flour (colorado Milling & Elevator Company) i package mixes with flour and other ingred- ients (Great Western Foods Company) ; specialty restaurant dishes (Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc.) ; and overseas interests in foods and food services (Great Western International Ltd. ) . In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its marketing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, G W Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial lime products.

KEMP SUGAR FACTORY LOCATION : 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas, and 28 miles east of Burlington, Colorado on U. S. Highway 24 (Interstate 70), 415 miles west of Kansas City, and 200 miles east of Denver. NAME : The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board, for his long and outstanding service to both the company and the beet sugar industry. A Great Westerner for 44 years, Mr. Kemp was chief executive officer for 31 years until his retirement in 1967. COST: In excess of $15,000,000 CONSTRUCTION Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing an average of 325 men per day for the last year. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, supervisors, technicians and other personnel, except for a few contracted structures. CAPAC The factory is the second largest in the Great Western system with normal slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per day (24 hours). slicing refers to the volume of beets that can be cut up and introduced into the process each day, with the actual daily capacity depending upon a number of variables, including operating conditions, quality of the beet, weather, etc. PRODUCTION: Processing operations will start on a break-in basis about Sept. 25. The production season, or sugar-making "campaign," will be an around- the-clock operation for about 130 days. Sugar production for the first campaign is expected to exceed 100,000,000 pounds, enough to supply Kansas families and food pro- cessors for nine months. Refined sugar will be sacked in 100-pound paper bags or stored in bulk in the eight sugar bins (silos) for shipment by special rail cars to food processors in the mid-continent area. By-product output will include more than 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. EMPLOYMENT: About 200 persons will be employed during the campaign or processing season. Of these, about 55 will be permanent supervisors and per. sonnel engaged in all the year-around functions, including operations, maintenance, chemical control, agriculture and accounting. (These figures do not include large numbers of persons in the district who farm, or work on farms, in the production of sugar beets.). -1- - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 BEET CROP: Sugar beets, a basic crop in irrigated agriculture, provide the raw material for the factory. They are produced by growers under con- tract with the company on farms in eight counties on or near the border between Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. ACREAGE : Beet plantings this year in the Kemp factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres - nearly twice that of last year. As a result of overwhelming production by growers, the Kemp factory will be able to process only about two-thirds of the beets in the district. The other beets will be shipped by rail to Great Western factories in Colorado. HARVEST: The harvest of beets, entirely mechanized, begins late in September and continues for about six weeks. All beets will be delivered by truck and will be handled at the factory by mechanical equipment. At the factory, the beets will be fed directly into the factory process or stored in huge piles for later processing. These piles will reach the mountainous proportions of about 240,000 tons of sugar beets, the largest single beet receiving station in the Great Western territory. YIELDS : Beets in the Kemp factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the company's growers consistently produce more sugar per acre than the U.S. industry as a whole. One acre of beets here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar, in half as much time. Beets in the Kemp district yield more than twice the amount of sugar than those in the Soviet Union, the largest producer of beet sugar in the world. In addition, beets offer a second crop-- feed for livestock--from the tops and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. PAYMENTS : Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a defi- nite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp factory district are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will exceed $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural returns turn over seven times in a community. GW SUGAR The Great Western Sugar Company, largest producer of beet sugar in the nation, was organized in 1905 with six sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about one-fourth of the nation's beet sugar and about seven percent of all sugar distributed in the country. LOCATIONS The Great Western Sugar system embraces 18 factories in six states, including the new Kemp factory, with adjacent sugar beet acreage in all areas totaling more than 300,000 acres. The Kemp factory is the second largest in the system, with built-in provisions for expansion of capacity. 2 Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 There are nine sugar factories in Northern Colorado, four in Western Nebraska, two in Northern Ohio, one each in Wyoming and Montana, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Great Western also operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth, along with a limestone quarry in Wyoming and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. GW UNITED: As the parent firm, GW United concentrates on vigorous management and marketing of food products and food services. These range from bulk supplies for food processors, as with sugar, to highly specialized dishes for the restaurant table, all aimed for modern consumer trends, whether for a meal or for manufacturing, both in this country and abroad. EXPANS ION: In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, GW United now encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar, from Great Western Sugar flour, from the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company package mixes with flour and other ingredients, from the Great Western Foods Company specialty restaurant dishes, from Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc restaurant operations, from the Great Western Restaurant Company. and overseas interests in foods and food services, from Great Western International, Ltd. ACQUISITIONS In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its market- ing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, GW Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial 1 ime products. Colorado Milling and Elevator recently assumed operation for GW United of the Emerald Christmas Tree Company, in Michigan and British Columbia, with the purpose of expanding supermarket sales of trees throughout North America.

Owen, President, The Great Western Sugar Company, at dedication of Frank A. Kemp factory, September 21, 1968. "While I am here, I should like to tell you that all of us connected with Great Western are highly pleased to be an integral part of this progressive, outstanding area of western Kansas and eastern Colorado. You have been most kind in accepting us as friends and neighbors. You have leaned over backwards in making us feel at home. We are indeed grateful. "Structures like this magnificent factory are much more than steel, concrete, brick, mortar, and glass. They represent dedicated people. They represent investors with wisdom and courage. They represent detailed plans and months of effort. They represent years of accumulated knowledge. "So many people have had a hand in the successful completion of this factory that I hesitate to single out any of the workers or supervisors for special praise. It took the cooperation and good workmanship of everyone to get the excellent job done and in time for handling the outstanding crop of beets that growers will be delivering, starting next week. But there are a few persons I am sure you would want me to recognize. "Let me first introduce the Great Westerners who were directly in charge of the construction project. They are Jack Corsberg, Tony Flasco, Merle Fleenor, and Jim Amos. In applauding these men for their superior leadership, we are extending heartfelt thanks and congratulations to everyone who put dedication and hard work into construction of this important facility. "This factory, in processing the sugarbeets produced on a couple of hundred farms in a nine-county area, will pour millions of dollars of wealth into the economic bloodstream of a vast region. "The biggest single item will be the 11 million dollars or more that the growers will receive in payments for their 1968 beets. With agricultural receipts estimated to turn over about seven times in a community, these beet payments will mean about 75 million dollars in business activity for western Kansas and eastern Colorado. And there will be additional millions of dollars disbursed in the area in the form of payrolls, taxes, supplies, and transportation payments. Source: https://wwwv.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 - -2- "From humble beginnings only 11 years ago, this enterprise has had a sound, steady growth. From less than 600 acres in 1957, the land in beets in this area has grown to more than 41,000 acres. Since last year the acreage has doubled. How much we grow from here depends in large part on the Sugar Act and acreage allotments, if any, determined thereunder. "You can and should be justly proud of your farmers. They are as productive and progressive as any growing beets for Great Western in an 8-state area. The average output of sugar per acre in this Kansas-eastern Colorado area, which is the combination of yield of beets and sugar content, exceeds the per acre output for the remainder of the United States. The sugar outturn per acre in this new factory district is twice that of the Soviet Union, the largest sugarbeet producer in the world. Demonstrating the efficiency of the American system, an acre of beets here in Kansas and eastern Colorado will produce half again as much sugar in the 7-month growing season as an acre of cane makes in Cuba in 14 months. And Cuba is the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Yes, you should be proud of your growers. "And talking about pride, we at Great Western are proud, too. I trust you will accept that word in its nicest concept. We certainly never intend to be haughty or arrogant. We are proud of our growers. We are proud to be a part of this vital community. And we are proud of the caliber of our employees and the quality of our products. We are proud of our reputation as a good citizen and a good neighbor and of our leadership in the domestic beet sugar industry. "We will not bore you with an account of accomplishments. Instead we will try to let our actions over the months and years ahead speak for us. We trust they will prove our dedication to the economic well-being of this great region of the West. "And now I am pleased to present a man who more than any other is responsible for this factory being here today. He represents the fourth generation of a Pueblo, Colorado, family to be connected with our Company, the president and chairman of the board of directors of the Great Western United Corporation, Mr. William M. White. (REMARKS BY MR. WHITE AND CAKE-CUTTING CEREMONY) "Thank you, Mr. White, and you other cake-cutters. "And now I should like to present the top men of GW's local management and have them group around me -- The man in charge of agriculture, your master of ceremonies, LaMar Henry. Next, the man in charge of factory operations, a native of Goodland, Superintendent Jim Amos. Then the office manager, Cashier Ralph Smith. Next, Construction Supervisor Merle Fleenor. Then our Chief Chemist, Stan Webster. And finally, Master Mechanic Carl Haffner. Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 -3- - "I said earlier that we at Great Western were proud. One of the things of which we are most proud is the fact that from 1936 until 1967 Great Western's chief executive, now retired, was Frank A. Kemp, the recognized leader of the entire domestic sugar industry. Frank, will you please join me at the microphone? "When a spokesman for sugar was needed in Washington, it was this man who usually did the talking. When an industry problem needed solving, it was this man whose advice was first sought. When international sugar conferences were called in Geneva, Switzerland, or in London, or in Mexico City, it was this man who was foremost among the American advisors. "It is fitting and proper, therefore, that this plant -- designed, built, and managed by many of the men trained by Mr. Sugar himself -- be hereafter known as the Frank A. Kemp factory. Mr. Kemp, I am happy to unveil this plaque in your honor, and turn this microphone over to you. (REMARKS BY MR. KEMP) "Thank you, Frank. With such a great Westerner's name as yours identified with this factory, we know it will be a credit to the industry and a lasting tribute to your great leadership and important contributions. "Jim Amos, on behalf of the board of directors of Great Western United Corporation, I present this plaque to the local management staff. (REMARKS BY MR. AMOS) "That, ladies and gentlemen, concludes the formal program. Thank you, again, for being with us."

WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 29, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr. , was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.

OWEN, who rose to management from the engineering profession, is president of The Great Western Sugar Company with offices in Denver. Owen came to GW Sugar in February of 1968 from the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, where he was general manager of equipment operations. In his 12 years with Ford, Owen advanced through a succession of management posts. He started in the tractor and implement manufacturing division, utilizing his experience as an agricultural engineer. Earlier, Owen was manager of the engineering department of the Pineapple Research Institute in Hawaii, where he began his career as an agricultural engineer for Del Monte Corporation. In between his Hawaiian assignments, he was a technical representative for DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware. At GW Sugar, Owen completes a full circle from his first acquaintance with sugar beets at the University of California at Davis, where he earned his engineering degree. During World War 11, Owen served with the Corps of Engineers and now holds the rank of brigadier general in the U. S. Army Reserve.

A special open house, Saturday, September 21 will provide the public with a first-hand view of the Frank A. Kemp Factory of Great Western Sugar Company, a giant $15 million facility located in the heart of America near the Kansas-colorado border, 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas. Robert R. Owen, president of Great Western Sugar, said that the plant is second largest of G W Sugar's eighteen factories which serve the efficient sugar beet producing regions of the mid-west. The new plant has a slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per 24-hour period. About. 200 persons will be employed during the "campaign", the around-the-clock produc- tion season of about 130 days. The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board of GWS and leader of the American beet sugar industry for 31 years. Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 2 - an average of 325 men per day. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, super- visors, technicians and other personnel, except a few con- tracted structures. Kemp Factory sugar production for the current campaign will exceed 100,000,000 pounds, or enough to supply the total consumer and food processor needs of the State of Kansas for 9 months. By-product production will include about 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. Beet plantings this year in the Kemp Factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres, about twice those of 1967. Because of the large increase, the Kemp Factory will be able to process only about 2/3 of the beets in the district. The rest will be diverted to Great Western factories in Colorado. The harvest of the beets is entirely mechanized, and takes about 6 weeks. Beets in the Kemp Factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the com- pany's growers consistently exceed other beet growers in the United States in sugar yield per acre. One acre of beets Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 3 - here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Kemp district beets yield more than twice as much sugar as those of the Soviet Union, the world's largest beet sugar producer. In addition, beets offer an important second crop - feed for livestock - from the top and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a definite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp Factory district alone are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will surpass $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural receipts turn over seven times in a community. The Great Western Sugar Company, largest independent producer of beet sugar in the world, was organized in 1905 with 6 sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about 1/4 of the nation's beet sugar and about 7 percent of all sugar distributed in Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 4 - the country. Total sugar beet acreage under G W Sugar con- tract is more than 300,000 acres. The Great Western Sugar Company maintains 9 sugar factories in Northern Colorado, 4 in Western Nebraska, 2 in Northern Ohio, 1 each in Wyoming, Montana and Kansas, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The company operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth; a limestone quarry in Wyoming; and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. William M. White, Jr. president and chairman of the board of Great Western United, directs a vigorous management in the marketing of food products and food services on a national and international level. He sees G W United as "an inventive, flexibile, and imaginative company whose business is to predict, identify, serve and grow with the shifting needs of a changing society in our own country and around the world. " Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 5 - In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, G W United encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar (Great Western Sugar Company) i flour (colorado Milling & Elevator Company) i package mixes with flour and other ingred- ients (Great Western Foods Company) ; specialty restaurant dishes (Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc.) ; and overseas interests in foods and food services (Great Western International Ltd. ) . In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its marketing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, G W Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial lime products.

KEMP SUGAR FACTORY LOCATION : 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas, and 28 miles east of Burlington, Colorado on U. S. Highway 24 (Interstate 70), 415 miles west of Kansas City, and 200 miles east of Denver. NAME : The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board, for his long and outstanding service to both the company and the beet sugar industry. A Great Westerner for 44 years, Mr. Kemp was chief executive officer for 31 years until his retirement in 1967. COST: In excess of $15,000,000 CONSTRUCTION Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing an average of 325 men per day for the last year. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, supervisors, technicians and other personnel, except for a few contracted structures. CAPAC The factory is the second largest in the Great Western system with normal slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per day (24 hours). slicing refers to the volume of beets that can be cut up and introduced into the process each day, with the actual daily capacity depending upon a number of variables, including operating conditions, quality of the beet, weather, etc. PRODUCTION: Processing operations will start on a break-in basis about Sept. 25. The production season, or sugar-making "campaign," will be an around- the-clock operation for about 130 days. Sugar production for the first campaign is expected to exceed 100,000,000 pounds, enough to supply Kansas families and food pro- cessors for nine months. Refined sugar will be sacked in 100-pound paper bags or stored in bulk in the eight sugar bins (silos) for shipment by special rail cars to food processors in the mid-continent area. By-product output will include more than 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. EMPLOYMENT: About 200 persons will be employed during the campaign or processing season. Of these, about 55 will be permanent supervisors and per. sonnel engaged in all the year-around functions, including operations, maintenance, chemical control, agriculture and accounting. (These figures do not include large numbers of persons in the district who farm, or work on farms, in the production of sugar beets.). -1- - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 BEET CROP: Sugar beets, a basic crop in irrigated agriculture, provide the raw material for the factory. They are produced by growers under con- tract with the company on farms in eight counties on or near the border between Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. ACREAGE : Beet plantings this year in the Kemp factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres - nearly twice that of last year. As a result of overwhelming production by growers, the Kemp factory will be able to process only about two-thirds of the beets in the district. The other beets will be shipped by rail to Great Western factories in Colorado. HARVEST: The harvest of beets, entirely mechanized, begins late in September and continues for about six weeks. All beets will be delivered by truck and will be handled at the factory by mechanical equipment. At the factory, the beets will be fed directly into the factory process or stored in huge piles for later processing. These piles will reach the mountainous proportions of about 240,000 tons of sugar beets, the largest single beet receiving station in the Great Western territory. YIELDS : Beets in the Kemp factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the company's growers consistently produce more sugar per acre than the U.S. industry as a whole. One acre of beets here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar, in half as much time. Beets in the Kemp district yield more than twice the amount of sugar than those in the Soviet Union, the largest producer of beet sugar in the world. In addition, beets offer a second crop-- feed for livestock--from the tops and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. PAYMENTS : Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a defi- nite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp factory district are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will exceed $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural returns turn over seven times in a community. GW SUGAR The Great Western Sugar Company, largest producer of beet sugar in the nation, was organized in 1905 with six sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about one-fourth of the nation's beet sugar and about seven percent of all sugar distributed in the country. LOCATIONS The Great Western Sugar system embraces 18 factories in six states, including the new Kemp factory, with adjacent sugar beet acreage in all areas totaling more than 300,000 acres. The Kemp factory is the second largest in the system, with built-in provisions for expansion of capacity. 2 Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 There are nine sugar factories in Northern Colorado, four in Western Nebraska, two in Northern Ohio, one each in Wyoming and Montana, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Great Western also operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth, along with a limestone quarry in Wyoming and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. GW UNITED: As the parent firm, GW United concentrates on vigorous management and marketing of food products and food services. These range from bulk supplies for food processors, as with sugar, to highly specialized dishes for the restaurant table, all aimed for modern consumer trends, whether for a meal or for manufacturing, both in this country and abroad. EXPANS ION: In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, GW United now encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar, from Great Western Sugar flour, from the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company package mixes with flour and other ingredients, from the Great Western Foods Company specialty restaurant dishes, from Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc restaurant operations, from the Great Western Restaurant Company. and overseas interests in foods and food services, from Great Western International, Ltd. ACQUISITIONS In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its market- ing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, GW Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial 1 ime products. Colorado Milling and Elevator recently assumed operation for GW United of the Emerald Christmas Tree Company, in Michigan and British Columbia, with the purpose of expanding supermarket sales of trees throughout North America.

Owen, President, The Great Western Sugar Company, at dedication of Frank A. Kemp factory, September 21, 1968. "While I am here, I should like to tell you that all of us connected with Great Western are highly pleased to be an integral part of this progressive, outstanding area of western Kansas and eastern Colorado. You have been most kind in accepting us as friends and neighbors. You have leaned over backwards in making us feel at home. We are indeed grateful. "Structures like this magnificent factory are much more than steel, concrete, brick, mortar, and glass. They represent dedicated people. They represent investors with wisdom and courage. They represent detailed plans and months of effort. They represent years of accumulated knowledge. "So many people have had a hand in the successful completion of this factory that I hesitate to single out any of the workers or supervisors for special praise. It took the cooperation and good workmanship of everyone to get the excellent job done and in time for handling the outstanding crop of beets that growers will be delivering, starting next week. But there are a few persons I am sure you would want me to recognize. "Let me first introduce the Great Westerners who were directly in charge of the construction project. They are Jack Corsberg, Tony Flasco, Merle Fleenor, and Jim Amos. In applauding these men for their superior leadership, we are extending heartfelt thanks and congratulations to everyone who put dedication and hard work into construction of this important facility. "This factory, in processing the sugarbeets produced on a couple of hundred farms in a nine-county area, will pour millions of dollars of wealth into the economic bloodstream of a vast region. "The biggest single item will be the 11 million dollars or more that the growers will receive in payments for their 1968 beets. With agricultural receipts estimated to turn over about seven times in a community, these beet payments will mean about 75 million dollars in business activity for western Kansas and eastern Colorado. And there will be additional millions of dollars disbursed in the area in the form of payrolls, taxes, supplies, and transportation payments. Source: https://wwwv.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 - -2- "From humble beginnings only 11 years ago, this enterprise has had a sound, steady growth. From less than 600 acres in 1957, the land in beets in this area has grown to more than 41,000 acres. Since last year the acreage has doubled. How much we grow from here depends in large part on the Sugar Act and acreage allotments, if any, determined thereunder. "You can and should be justly proud of your farmers. They are as productive and progressive as any growing beets for Great Western in an 8-state area. The average output of sugar per acre in this Kansas-eastern Colorado area, which is the combination of yield of beets and sugar content, exceeds the per acre output for the remainder of the United States. The sugar outturn per acre in this new factory district is twice that of the Soviet Union, the largest sugarbeet producer in the world. Demonstrating the efficiency of the American system, an acre of beets here in Kansas and eastern Colorado will produce half again as much sugar in the 7-month growing season as an acre of cane makes in Cuba in 14 months. And Cuba is the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Yes, you should be proud of your growers. "And talking about pride, we at Great Western are proud, too. I trust you will accept that word in its nicest concept. We certainly never intend to be haughty or arrogant. We are proud of our growers. We are proud to be a part of this vital community. And we are proud of the caliber of our employees and the quality of our products. We are proud of our reputation as a good citizen and a good neighbor and of our leadership in the domestic beet sugar industry. "We will not bore you with an account of accomplishments. Instead we will try to let our actions over the months and years ahead speak for us. We trust they will prove our dedication to the economic well-being of this great region of the West. "And now I am pleased to present a man who more than any other is responsible for this factory being here today. He represents the fourth generation of a Pueblo, Colorado, family to be connected with our Company, the president and chairman of the board of directors of the Great Western United Corporation, Mr. William M. White. (REMARKS BY MR. WHITE AND CAKE-CUTTING CEREMONY) "Thank you, Mr. White, and you other cake-cutters.

One of the things of which we are most proud is the fact that from 1936 until 1967 Great Western's chief executive, now retired, was Frank A. Kemp, the recognized leader of the entire domestic sugar industry. Frank, will you please join me at the microphone? "When a spokesman for sugar was needed in Washington, it was this man who usually did the talking. When an industry problem needed solving, it was this man whose advice was first sought. When international sugar conferences were called in Geneva, Switzerland, or in London, or in Mexico City, it was this man who was foremost among the American advisors. "It is fitting and proper, therefore, that this plant -- designed, built, and managed by many of the men trained by Mr. Sugar himself -- be hereafter known as the Frank A. Kemp factory. Mr. Kemp, I am happy to unveil this plaque in your honor, and turn this microphone over to you. (REMARKS BY MR. KEMP) "Thank you, Frank. With such a great Westerner's name as yours identified with this factory, we know it will be a credit to the industry and a lasting tribute to your great leadership and important contributions.

WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 29, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr. , was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.

A special open house, Saturday, September 21 will provide the public with a first-hand view of the Frank A. Kemp Factory of Great Western Sugar Company, a giant $15 million facility located in the heart of America near the Kansas-colorado border, 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas. Robert R. Owen, president of Great Western Sugar, said that the plant is second largest of G W Sugar's eighteen factories which serve the efficient sugar beet producing regions of the mid-west. The new plant has a slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per 24-hour period. About. 200 persons will be employed during the "campaign", the around-the-clock produc- tion season of about 130 days. The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board of GWS and leader of the American beet sugar industry for 31 years. Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 2 - an average of 325 men per day. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, super- visors, technicians and other personnel, except a few con- tracted structures. Kemp Factory sugar production for the current campaign will exceed 100,000,000 pounds, or enough to supply the total consumer and food processor needs of the State of Kansas for 9 months. By-product production will include about 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. Beet plantings this year in the Kemp Factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres, about twice those of 1967. Because of the large increase, the Kemp Factory will be able to process only about 2/3 of the beets in the district. The rest will be diverted to Great Western factories in Colorado. The harvest of the beets is entirely mechanized, and takes about 6 weeks. Beets in the Kemp Factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the com- pany's growers consistently exceed other beet growers in the United States in sugar yield per acre. One acre of beets Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 3 - here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Kemp district beets yield more than twice as much sugar as those of the Soviet Union, the world's largest beet sugar producer. In addition, beets offer an important second crop - feed for livestock - from the top and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a definite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp Factory district alone are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will surpass $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural receipts turn over seven times in a community. The Great Western Sugar Company, largest independent producer of beet sugar in the world, was organized in 1905 with 6 sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about 1/4 of the nation's beet sugar and about 7 percent of all sugar distributed in Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 4 - the country. Total sugar beet acreage under G W Sugar con- tract is more than 300,000 acres. The Great Western Sugar Company maintains 9 sugar factories in Northern Colorado, 4 in Western Nebraska, 2 in Northern Ohio, 1 each in Wyoming, Montana and Kansas, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The company operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth; a limestone quarry in Wyoming; and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. William M. White, Jr. president and chairman of the board of Great Western United, directs a vigorous management in the marketing of food products and food services on a national and international level. He sees G W United as "an inventive, flexibile, and imaginative company whose business is to predict, identify, serve and grow with the shifting needs of a changing society in our own country and around the world. " Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 5 - In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, G W United encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar (Great Western Sugar Company) i flour (colorado Milling & Elevator Company) i package mixes with flour and other ingred- ients (Great Western Foods Company) ; specialty restaurant dishes (Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc.) ; and overseas interests in foods and food services (Great Western International Ltd. ) . In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its marketing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, G W Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial lime products.

KEMP SUGAR FACTORY LOCATION : 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas, and 28 miles east of Burlington, Colorado on U. S. Highway 24 (Interstate 70), 415 miles west of Kansas City, and 200 miles east of Denver. NAME : The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board, for his long and outstanding service to both the company and the beet sugar industry. A Great Westerner for 44 years, Mr. Kemp was chief executive officer for 31 years until his retirement in 1967. COST: In excess of $15,000,000 CONSTRUCTION Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing an average of 325 men per day for the last year. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, supervisors, technicians and other personnel, except for a few contracted structures. CAPAC The factory is the second largest in the Great Western system with normal slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per day (24 hours). slicing refers to the volume of beets that can be cut up and introduced into the process each day, with the actual daily capacity depending upon a number of variables, including operating conditions, quality of the beet, weather, etc. PRODUCTION: Processing operations will start on a break-in basis about Sept. 25. The production season, or sugar-making "campaign," will be an around- the-clock operation for about 130 days. Sugar production for the first campaign is expected to exceed 100,000,000 pounds, enough to supply Kansas families and food pro- cessors for nine months. Refined sugar will be sacked in 100-pound paper bags or stored in bulk in the eight sugar bins (silos) for shipment by special rail cars to food processors in the mid-continent area. By-product output will include more than 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. EMPLOYMENT: About 200 persons will be employed during the campaign or processing season. Of these, about 55 will be permanent supervisors and per. sonnel engaged in all the year-around functions, including operations, maintenance, chemical control, agriculture and accounting. (These figures do not include large numbers of persons in the district who farm, or work on farms, in the production of sugar beets.). -1- - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 BEET CROP: Sugar beets, a basic crop in irrigated agriculture, provide the raw material for the factory. They are produced by growers under con- tract with the company on farms in eight counties on or near the border between Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. ACREAGE : Beet plantings this year in the Kemp factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres - nearly twice that of last year. As a result of overwhelming production by growers, the Kemp factory will be able to process only about two-thirds of the beets in the district. The other beets will be shipped by rail to Great Western factories in Colorado. HARVEST: The harvest of beets, entirely mechanized, begins late in September and continues for about six weeks. All beets will be delivered by truck and will be handled at the factory by mechanical equipment. At the factory, the beets will be fed directly into the factory process or stored in huge piles for later processing. These piles will reach the mountainous proportions of about 240,000 tons of sugar beets, the largest single beet receiving station in the Great Western territory. YIELDS : Beets in the Kemp factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the company's growers consistently produce more sugar per acre than the U.S. industry as a whole. One acre of beets here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar, in half as much time. Beets in the Kemp district yield more than twice the amount of sugar than those in the Soviet Union, the largest producer of beet sugar in the world. In addition, beets offer a second crop-- feed for livestock--from the tops and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. PAYMENTS : Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a defi- nite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp factory district are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will exceed $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural returns turn over seven times in a community. GW SUGAR The Great Western Sugar Company, largest producer of beet sugar in the nation, was organized in 1905 with six sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about one-fourth of the nation's beet sugar and about seven percent of all sugar distributed in the country. LOCATIONS The Great Western Sugar system embraces 18 factories in six states, including the new Kemp factory, with adjacent sugar beet acreage in all areas totaling more than 300,000 acres. The Kemp factory is the second largest in the system, with built-in provisions for expansion of capacity. 2 Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 There are nine sugar factories in Northern Colorado, four in Western Nebraska, two in Northern Ohio, one each in Wyoming and Montana, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Great Western also operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth, along with a limestone quarry in Wyoming and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. GW UNITED: As the parent firm, GW United concentrates on vigorous management and marketing of food products and food services. These range from bulk supplies for food processors, as with sugar, to highly specialized dishes for the restaurant table, all aimed for modern consumer trends, whether for a meal or for manufacturing, both in this country and abroad. EXPANS ION: In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, GW United now encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar, from Great Western Sugar flour, from the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company package mixes with flour and other ingredients, from the Great Western Foods Company specialty restaurant dishes, from Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc restaurant operations, from the Great Western Restaurant Company. and overseas interests in foods and food services, from Great Western International, Ltd. ACQUISITIONS In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its market- ing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, GW Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial 1 ime products. Colorado Milling and Elevator recently assumed operation for GW United of the Emerald Christmas Tree Company, in Michigan and British Columbia, with the purpose of expanding supermarket sales of trees throughout North America.

Owen, President, The Great Western Sugar Company, at dedication of Frank A. Kemp factory, September 21, 1968. "While I am here, I should like to tell you that all of us connected with Great Western are highly pleased to be an integral part of this progressive, outstanding area of western Kansas and eastern Colorado. You have been most kind in accepting us as friends and neighbors. You have leaned over backwards in making us feel at home. We are indeed grateful. "Structures like this magnificent factory are much more than steel, concrete, brick, mortar, and glass. They represent dedicated people. They represent investors with wisdom and courage. They represent detailed plans and months of effort. They represent years of accumulated knowledge. "So many people have had a hand in the successful completion of this factory that I hesitate to single out any of the workers or supervisors for special praise. It took the cooperation and good workmanship of everyone to get the excellent job done and in time for handling the outstanding crop of beets that growers will be delivering, starting next week. But there are a few persons I am sure you would want me to recognize. "Let me first introduce the Great Westerners who were directly in charge of the construction project. They are Jack Corsberg, Tony Flasco, Merle Fleenor, and Jim Amos. In applauding these men for their superior leadership, we are extending heartfelt thanks and congratulations to everyone who put dedication and hard work into construction of this important facility. "This factory, in processing the sugarbeets produced on a couple of hundred farms in a nine-county area, will pour millions of dollars of wealth into the economic bloodstream of a vast region. "The biggest single item will be the 11 million dollars or more that the growers will receive in payments for their 1968 beets. With agricultural receipts estimated to turn over about seven times in a community, these beet payments will mean about 75 million dollars in business activity for western Kansas and eastern Colorado. And there will be additional millions of dollars disbursed in the area in the form of payrolls, taxes, supplies, and transportation payments. Source: https://wwwv.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 - -2- "From humble beginnings only 11 years ago, this enterprise has had a sound, steady growth. From less than 600 acres in 1957, the land in beets in this area has grown to more than 41,000 acres. Since last year the acreage has doubled. How much we grow from here depends in large part on the Sugar Act and acreage allotments, if any, determined thereunder. "You can and should be justly proud of your farmers. They are as productive and progressive as any growing beets for Great Western in an 8-state area. The average output of sugar per acre in this Kansas-eastern Colorado area, which is the combination of yield of beets and sugar content, exceeds the per acre output for the remainder of the United States. The sugar outturn per acre in this new factory district is twice that of the Soviet Union, the largest sugarbeet producer in the world. Demonstrating the efficiency of the American system, an acre of beets here in Kansas and eastern Colorado will produce half again as much sugar in the 7-month growing season as an acre of cane makes in Cuba in 14 months. And Cuba is the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Yes, you should be proud of your growers. "And talking about pride, we at Great Western are proud, too. I trust you will accept that word in its nicest concept. We certainly never intend to be haughty or arrogant. We are proud of our growers. We are proud to be a part of this vital community. And we are proud of the caliber of our employees and the quality of our products. We are proud of our reputation as a good citizen and a good neighbor and of our leadership in the domestic beet sugar industry. "We will not bore you with an account of accomplishments. Instead we will try to let our actions over the months and years ahead speak for us. We trust they will prove our dedication to the economic well-being of this great region of the West. "And now I am pleased to present a man who more than any other is responsible for this factory being here today. He represents the fourth generation of a Pueblo, Colorado, family to be connected with our Company, the president and chairman of the board of directors of the Great Western United Corporation, Mr. William M. White. (REMARKS BY MR. WHITE AND CAKE-CUTTING CEREMONY) "Thank you, Mr. White, and you other cake-cutters.

One of the things of which we are most proud is the fact that from 1936 until 1967 Great Western's chief executive, now retired, was Frank A. Kemp, the recognized leader of the entire domestic sugar industry. Frank, will you please join me at the microphone? "When a spokesman for sugar was needed in Washington, it was this man who usually did the talking. When an industry problem needed solving, it was this man whose advice was first sought. When international sugar conferences were called in Geneva, Switzerland, or in London, or in Mexico City, it was this man who was foremost among the American advisors. "It is fitting and proper, therefore, that this plant -- designed, built, and managed by many of the men trained by Mr. Sugar himself -- be hereafter known as the Frank A. Kemp factory. Mr. Kemp, I am happy to unveil this plaque in your honor, and turn this microphone over to you. (REMARKS BY MR. KEMP) "Thank you, Frank. With such a great Westerner's name as yours identified with this factory, we know it will be a credit to the industry and a lasting tribute to your great leadership and important contributions.

WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 29, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr. , was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.

A special open house, Saturday, September 21 will provide the public with a first-hand view of the Frank A. Kemp Factory of Great Western Sugar Company, a giant $15 million facility located in the heart of America near the Kansas-colorado border, 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas. Robert R. Owen, president of Great Western Sugar, said that the plant is second largest of G W Sugar's eighteen factories which serve the efficient sugar beet producing regions of the mid-west. The new plant has a slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per 24-hour period. About. 200 persons will be employed during the "campaign", the around-the-clock produc- tion season of about 130 days. The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board of GWS and leader of the American beet sugar industry for 31 years. Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 2 - an average of 325 men per day. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, super- visors, technicians and other personnel, except a few con- tracted structures. Kemp Factory sugar production for the current campaign will exceed 100,000,000 pounds, or enough to supply the total consumer and food processor needs of the State of Kansas for 9 months. By-product production will include about 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. Beet plantings this year in the Kemp Factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres, about twice those of 1967. Because of the large increase, the Kemp Factory will be able to process only about 2/3 of the beets in the district. The rest will be diverted to Great Western factories in Colorado. The harvest of the beets is entirely mechanized, and takes about 6 weeks. Beets in the Kemp Factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the com- pany's growers consistently exceed other beet growers in the United States in sugar yield per acre. One acre of beets Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 3 - here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Kemp district beets yield more than twice as much sugar as those of the Soviet Union, the world's largest beet sugar producer. In addition, beets offer an important second crop - feed for livestock - from the top and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a definite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp Factory district alone are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will surpass $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural receipts turn over seven times in a community. The Great Western Sugar Company, largest independent producer of beet sugar in the world, was organized in 1905 with 6 sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about 1/4 of the nation's beet sugar and about 7 percent of all sugar distributed in Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 4 - the country. Total sugar beet acreage under G W Sugar con- tract is more than 300,000 acres. The Great Western Sugar Company maintains 9 sugar factories in Northern Colorado, 4 in Western Nebraska, 2 in Northern Ohio, 1 each in Wyoming, Montana and Kansas, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The company operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth; a limestone quarry in Wyoming; and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. William M. White, Jr. president and chairman of the board of Great Western United, directs a vigorous management in the marketing of food products and food services on a national and international level. He sees G W United as "an inventive, flexibile, and imaginative company whose business is to predict, identify, serve and grow with the shifting needs of a changing society in our own country and around the world. " Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 5 - In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, G W United encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar (Great Western Sugar Company) i flour (colorado Milling & Elevator Company) i package mixes with flour and other ingred- ients (Great Western Foods Company) ; specialty restaurant dishes (Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc.) ; and overseas interests in foods and food services (Great Western International Ltd. ) . In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its marketing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, G W Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial lime products.

KEMP SUGAR FACTORY LOCATION : 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas, and 28 miles east of Burlington, Colorado on U. S. Highway 24 (Interstate 70), 415 miles west of Kansas City, and 200 miles east of Denver. NAME : The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board, for his long and outstanding service to both the company and the beet sugar industry. A Great Westerner for 44 years, Mr. Kemp was chief executive officer for 31 years until his retirement in 1967. COST: In excess of $15,000,000 CONSTRUCTION Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing an average of 325 men per day for the last year. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, supervisors, technicians and other personnel, except for a few contracted structures. CAPAC The factory is the second largest in the Great Western system with normal slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per day (24 hours). slicing refers to the volume of beets that can be cut up and introduced into the process each day, with the actual daily capacity depending upon a number of variables, including operating conditions, quality of the beet, weather, etc. PRODUCTION: Processing operations will start on a break-in basis about Sept. 25. The production season, or sugar-making "campaign," will be an around- the-clock operation for about 130 days. Sugar production for the first campaign is expected to exceed 100,000,000 pounds, enough to supply Kansas families and food pro- cessors for nine months. Refined sugar will be sacked in 100-pound paper bags or stored in bulk in the eight sugar bins (silos) for shipment by special rail cars to food processors in the mid-continent area. By-product output will include more than 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. EMPLOYMENT: About 200 persons will be employed during the campaign or processing season. Of these, about 55 will be permanent supervisors and per. sonnel engaged in all the year-around functions, including operations, maintenance, chemical control, agriculture and accounting. (These figures do not include large numbers of persons in the district who farm, or work on farms, in the production of sugar beets.). -1- - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 BEET CROP: Sugar beets, a basic crop in irrigated agriculture, provide the raw material for the factory. They are produced by growers under con- tract with the company on farms in eight counties on or near the border between Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. ACREAGE : Beet plantings this year in the Kemp factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres - nearly twice that of last year. As a result of overwhelming production by growers, the Kemp factory will be able to process only about two-thirds of the beets in the district. The other beets will be shipped by rail to Great Western factories in Colorado. HARVEST: The harvest of beets, entirely mechanized, begins late in September and continues for about six weeks. All beets will be delivered by truck and will be handled at the factory by mechanical equipment. At the factory, the beets will be fed directly into the factory process or stored in huge piles for later processing. These piles will reach the mountainous proportions of about 240,000 tons of sugar beets, the largest single beet receiving station in the Great Western territory. YIELDS : Beets in the Kemp factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the company's growers consistently produce more sugar per acre than the U.S. industry as a whole. One acre of beets here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar, in half as much time. Beets in the Kemp district yield more than twice the amount of sugar than those in the Soviet Union, the largest producer of beet sugar in the world. In addition, beets offer a second crop-- feed for livestock--from the tops and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. PAYMENTS : Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a defi- nite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp factory district are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will exceed $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural returns turn over seven times in a community. GW SUGAR The Great Western Sugar Company, largest producer of beet sugar in the nation, was organized in 1905 with six sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about one-fourth of the nation's beet sugar and about seven percent of all sugar distributed in the country. LOCATIONS The Great Western Sugar system embraces 18 factories in six states, including the new Kemp factory, with adjacent sugar beet acreage in all areas totaling more than 300,000 acres. The Kemp factory is the second largest in the system, with built-in provisions for expansion of capacity. 2 Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 There are nine sugar factories in Northern Colorado, four in Western Nebraska, two in Northern Ohio, one each in Wyoming and Montana, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Great Western also operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth, along with a limestone quarry in Wyoming and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. GW UNITED: As the parent firm, GW United concentrates on vigorous management and marketing of food products and food services. These range from bulk supplies for food processors, as with sugar, to highly specialized dishes for the restaurant table, all aimed for modern consumer trends, whether for a meal or for manufacturing, both in this country and abroad. EXPANS ION: In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, GW United now encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar, from Great Western Sugar flour, from the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company package mixes with flour and other ingredients, from the Great Western Foods Company specialty restaurant dishes, from Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc restaurant operations, from the Great Western Restaurant Company. and overseas interests in foods and food services, from Great Western International, Ltd. ACQUISITIONS In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its market- ing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, GW Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial 1 ime products. Colorado Milling and Elevator recently assumed operation for GW United of the Emerald Christmas Tree Company, in Michigan and British Columbia, with the purpose of expanding supermarket sales of trees throughout North America.

Owen, President, The Great Western Sugar Company, at dedication of Frank A. Kemp factory, September 21, 1968. "While I am here, I should like to tell you that all of us connected with Great Western are highly pleased to be an integral part of this progressive, outstanding area of western Kansas and eastern Colorado. You have been most kind in accepting us as friends and neighbors. You have leaned over backwards in making us feel at home. We are indeed grateful. "Structures like this magnificent factory are much more than steel, concrete, brick, mortar, and glass. They represent dedicated people. They represent investors with wisdom and courage. They represent detailed plans and months of effort. They represent years of accumulated knowledge. "So many people have had a hand in the successful completion of this factory that I hesitate to single out any of the workers or supervisors for special praise. It took the cooperation and good workmanship of everyone to get the excellent job done and in time for handling the outstanding crop of beets that growers will be delivering, starting next week. But there are a few persons I am sure you would want me to recognize. "Let me first introduce the Great Westerners who were directly in charge of the construction project. They are Jack Corsberg, Tony Flasco, Merle Fleenor, and Jim Amos. In applauding these men for their superior leadership, we are extending heartfelt thanks and congratulations to everyone who put dedication and hard work into construction of this important facility. "This factory, in processing the sugarbeets produced on a couple of hundred farms in a nine-county area, will pour millions of dollars of wealth into the economic bloodstream of a vast region. "The biggest single item will be the 11 million dollars or more that the growers will receive in payments for their 1968 beets. With agricultural receipts estimated to turn over about seven times in a community, these beet payments will mean about 75 million dollars in business activity for western Kansas and eastern Colorado. And there will be additional millions of dollars disbursed in the area in the form of payrolls, taxes, supplies, and transportation payments. Source: https://wwwv.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 - -2- "From humble beginnings only 11 years ago, this enterprise has had a sound, steady growth. From less than 600 acres in 1957, the land in beets in this area has grown to more than 41,000 acres. Since last year the acreage has doubled. How much we grow from here depends in large part on the Sugar Act and acreage allotments, if any, determined thereunder. "You can and should be justly proud of your farmers. They are as productive and progressive as any growing beets for Great Western in an 8-state area. The average output of sugar per acre in this Kansas-eastern Colorado area, which is the combination of yield of beets and sugar content, exceeds the per acre output for the remainder of the United States. The sugar outturn per acre in this new factory district is twice that of the Soviet Union, the largest sugarbeet producer in the world. Demonstrating the efficiency of the American system, an acre of beets here in Kansas and eastern Colorado will produce half again as much sugar in the 7-month growing season as an acre of cane makes in Cuba in 14 months. And Cuba is the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Yes, you should be proud of your growers. "And talking about pride, we at Great Western are proud, too. I trust you will accept that word in its nicest concept. We certainly never intend to be haughty or arrogant. We are proud of our growers. We are proud to be a part of this vital community. And we are proud of the caliber of our employees and the quality of our products. We are proud of our reputation as a good citizen and a good neighbor and of our leadership in the domestic beet sugar industry. "We will not bore you with an account of accomplishments. Instead we will try to let our actions over the months and years ahead speak for us. We trust they will prove our dedication to the economic well-being of this great region of the West. "And now I am pleased to present a man who more than any other is responsible for this factory being here today. He represents the fourth generation of a Pueblo, Colorado, family to be connected with our Company, the president and chairman of the board of directors of the Great Western United Corporation, Mr. William M. White. (REMARKS BY MR. WHITE AND CAKE-CUTTING CEREMONY) "Thank you, Mr. White, and you other cake-cutters.

One of the things of which we are most proud is the fact that from 1936 until 1967 Great Western's chief executive, now retired, was Frank A. Kemp, the recognized leader of the entire domestic sugar industry. Frank, will you please join me at the microphone? "When a spokesman for sugar was needed in Washington, it was this man who usually did the talking. When an industry problem needed solving, it was this man whose advice was first sought. When international sugar conferences were called in Geneva, Switzerland, or in London, or in Mexico City, it was this man who was foremost among the American advisors. "It is fitting and proper, therefore, that this plant -- designed, built, and managed by many of the men trained by Mr. Sugar himself -- be hereafter known as the Frank A. Kemp factory. Mr. Kemp, I am happy to unveil this plaque in your honor, and turn this microphone over to you. (REMARKS BY MR. KEMP) "Thank you, Frank. With such a great Westerner's name as yours identified with this factory, we know it will be a credit to the industry and a lasting tribute to your great leadership and important contributions.

PRESENTATION OF PLAQUE TO FACTORY MANAGEMENT STAFF Acceptance by Jim Amos, Superintendent of Kemp Factory Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 WILLIAM M. WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 29, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr. , was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago. Source: :https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 ROBERT R. OWEN, who rose to management from the engineering profession, is president of The Great Western Sugar Company with offices in Denver. Owen came to GW Sugar in February of 1968 from the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, where he was general manager of equipment operations. In his 12 years with Ford, Owen advanced through a succession of management posts. He started in the tractor and implement manufacturing division, utilizing his experience as an agricultural engineer. Earlier, Owen was manager of the engineering department of the Pineapple Research Institute in Hawaii, where he began his career as an agricultural engineer for Del Monte Corporation. In between his Hawaiian assignments, he was a technical representative for DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware. At GW Sugar, Owen completes a full circle from his first acquaintance with sugar beets at the University of California at Davis, where he earned his engineering degree. During World War 11, Owen served with the Corps of Engineers and now holds the rank of brigadier general in the U. S. Army Reserve.

KEMP for outstanding leadership and service to the American Beet Sugar Industry as chief executive officer The Great Western Sugar Company. 1936 - 1967. 11 So reads the inscription on the bronze dedication plaque for the newest sugar factory in the nation. Frank A. Kemp was selected for the honor because of his personal contribution to the company for nearly half of its corporate life. Now retired in Denver, Kemp was president from 1936 to 1966, when he became chairman of the board. He retired in 1967. For two decades, Kemp represented the sugar industry in appearance before Congressional hearings. He was also influential in world sugar circles as industry advisor at International Sugar Conferences. In 1937, Kemp was first elected president of the United States Beet Sugar Association and he later was chairman of both the executive and legislative committees of the American Sugar Beet Industry Policy Committee. His leadership was acclaimed in 1959 with the coveted award of "Sugar Man of the Year." A Great Westerner for 44 years, Kemp was born in Omaha, Nebraska, reared in Wyoming and Denver, Colorado, and graduated in law from the University of Colorado, where he was an outstanding athlete.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Larry McGhee, metro bank Bldg. SUGAR CO. INC. TO: Bill Bradley DATE: 1-19-76 FROM: W. M. Nelson SUBJECT: Attached is the proposal from Colorcraft. Please review and state your position to me in writing. Thanks. WMN CC: George Eldridge Larry McGee mk Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/jglh0227 COLORCRAFT CORPORATION 288 CLAYTON STREET 1, SUITE 202 - DENVER, COLORADO 80206 303-388-6371 January 15, 1976 Mr. William M. Nelson Vice President, Sales Godchaux-Henderson Sugar Company, Inc. 1554 Wazee Street - P.O. Box 17169 Denver, Colorado 80217 Dear Mr. Nelson : This follows up our meeting of January 13th. Enclosed is a proposed contract for your consideration and approval for the free color film plus 50ç in coupons program. I am also listing a comparison of the prices for film developing with those of other national sources, so you can see that the mail order sugar pocket offer is a genuine , bargain - offered only by Colorcraft. (See Page 2.) The strong sales of sugar in the season this summer coincides with the big demand for developing those summer snapshots, so I hope you'll be able to make a decision shortly in behalf of this program so the printing of the offer can begin on your sugar pockets. You'll be comparing our offer with other premium ideas, but I'm summarizing the advantages of our offer over the usual items that you may be looking at. 1) Our product color film is FREE with purchase of your sugar and can't be bought for less than $ 1.00 and people pay up to $1.50 for it. 2) The consumer gets, not only the FREE color film, but also 50ç in coupons - either one 50ç coupon, or two 25ç coupons - good on Godchaux-Henderson products and you can decide which packaged sugar products on which you wish the coupons to be good. 3) Colorcraft Corporation, with 50 million dollar annual sales, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuqua Industries, will pay for these coupons, not only face value, but will also reimburse your company 8ç each coupon for the cost of handling, so you have no out-of-pocket cost. A FUGUA INDSTöurce: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/jglh0227 Mr. William M. Nelson January 15, 1976 Godchaux-Henderson Sugar Company, Inc. Page 2 4) There's no inventory for you to maintain or purchase. 5) 75 million TV sets will be tuned to the Super Bowl on January 18th, watching super star Roger Staubach of the Dallas Cowboys. Roger Staubach is the spokes- man for Colorcraft's mail order film developing program. You get the benefit of this fantastic exposure at no cost to you. 6) When you put 50ç in coupons in the consumer's hand - good only on your sugar, it's powerful in reducing the cost of your sugar to the consumer against private label competition. 7) All you have to do is print the offer on your sugar pockets - it will work without additional ad support or shelf-talkers. 8) Consumers get the free color film and the 50ç in coupons regardless of whether they respond to the mail order offer. 9) Mail order accounts for more than 400 million dollars of the 1.2 billion dollars spent by consumers annually for film developing - yours is a mail order offer. 10) No mail order offer with replacement film compares to the Colorcraft (Viking) offer. Best of all, the Colorcraft offer is not later raised to the consumer. The bargain price is continued to the consumer, which, of course, reflects credit and goodwill to Godchaux Sugar - the product that carried the offer. COLORCRAFT (Viking) $ 2.50 for 126 12-exp. with free film charges $ 2.85 for 110 12-exp. with free film $ 3.75 for any 20-exp. with free film FOTOMAT CORP charges $3.77 for 126 12-exp. with no free film $4.01 for 110 12-exp. with no free film $5.85 for 126 20-exp. with no free film KODAK charges $5.22 for 126 12-exp. with no free film $5.46 for 110 12-exp. with no free film $7.70 for 126 20-exp. with no free film I hope that you will be able to give prompt consideration to this outstanding offer. I'm available right here in Denver if you need any further information. Sincerely, Philip a celler Philip A.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Larry McGhee, metro bank Bldg. SUGAR CO. INC. TO: Bill Bradley DATE: 1-19-76 FROM: W. M. Nelson SUBJECT: Attached is the proposal from Colorcraft. Please review and state your position to me in writing. Thanks.

Nelson Vice President, Sales Godchaux-Henderson Sugar Company, Inc. 1554 Wazee Street - P.O. Box 17169 Denver, Colorado 80217 Dear Mr. Nelson : This follows up our meeting of January 13th. Enclosed is a proposed contract for your consideration and approval for the free color film plus 50ç in coupons program. I am also listing a comparison of the prices for film developing with those of other national sources, so you can see that the mail order sugar pocket offer is a genuine , bargain - offered only by Colorcraft. (See Page 2.) The strong sales of sugar in the season this summer coincides with the big demand for developing those summer snapshots, so I hope you'll be able to make a decision shortly in behalf of this program so the printing of the offer can begin on your sugar pockets. You'll be comparing our offer with other premium ideas, but I'm summarizing the advantages of our offer over the usual items that you may be looking at. 1) Our product color film is FREE with purchase of your sugar and can't be bought for less than $ 1.00 and people pay up to $1.50 for it. 2) The consumer gets, not only the FREE color film, but also 50ç in coupons - either one 50ç coupon, or two 25ç coupons - good on Godchaux-Henderson products and you can decide which packaged sugar products on which you wish the coupons to be good. 3) Colorcraft Corporation, with 50 million dollar annual sales, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuqua Industries, will pay for these coupons, not only face value, but will also reimburse your company 8ç each coupon for the cost of handling, so you have no out-of-pocket cost.

Roger Staubach is the spokes- man for Colorcraft's mail order film developing program. You get the benefit of this fantastic exposure at no cost to you. 6) When you put 50ç in coupons in the consumer's hand - good only on your sugar, it's powerful in reducing the cost of your sugar to the consumer against private label competition. 7) All you have to do is print the offer on your sugar pockets - it will work without additional ad support or shelf-talkers. 8) Consumers get the free color film and the 50ç in coupons regardless of whether they respond to the mail order offer. 9) Mail order accounts for more than 400 million dollars of the 1.2 billion dollars spent by consumers annually for film developing - yours is a mail order offer. 10) No mail order offer with replacement film compares to the Colorcraft (Viking) offer. Best of all, the Colorcraft offer is not later raised to the consumer. The bargain price is continued to the consumer, which, of course, reflects credit and goodwill to Godchaux Sugar - the product that carried the offer. COLORCRAFT (Viking) $ 2.50 for 126 12-exp. with free film charges $ 2.85 for 110 12-exp. with free film $ 3.75 for any 20-exp. with free film FOTOMAT CORP charges $3.77 for 126 12-exp. with no free film $4.01 for 110 12-exp. with no free film $5.85 for 126 20-exp. with no free film KODAK charges $5.22 for 126 12-exp. with no free film $5.46 for 110 12-exp. with no free film $7.70 for 126 20-exp. with no free film I hope that you will be able to give prompt consideration to this outstanding offer.

The retirement date of any member may be deferred if such de- ferment is requested by such member and agreed to by the Company. In the event of any deferment of the retirement date, the amount of pension payable after retirement shall be the amount payable to such member under the provisions of the Plan in effect on the date of his actual retirement. C. Permanent Disability Retirement. 1. A member who has not attained age 65 but has become totally and permanently disabled and who has either (i) attained at least age 55 and has had at least twenty years of continuous service, or (ii) has had at least twenty-five years of continuous service, shall, at the option of such member or the Company, be retired on a pension which shall be an amount determined in accordance with Sections 5A and 5B of the Plan up to the date of his retirement, which pension shall continue only so long as the pensioner shall be totally and permanently disabled and living. 2. A member shall be deemed to be totally and permanently dis- abled when on the basis of qualified medical evidence, he is found by the Pension Committee to be wholly and permanently prevented from engaging in any occupation or employment for remuneration or profit as the result of bodily injury or disease, either occupational or non- occupational in cause, and such disability shall have continued for a Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 6 period of six consecutive months, and said disability was not contracted, suffered or incurred while the employee was engaged in, nor did it result, directly or indirectly, from his having engaged in a criminal enterprise, from habitual drunkenness, from addiction to narcotics or from a self-inflicted injury. 3. Any pensioner receiving a disability pension may be required to submit to a medical examination at any time during retirement prior to age 65, but not more often than semiannually to determine whether he is eligible to continue to receive his disability pension. If, on the basis of such examination, it is found by the Pension Committee that he is no longer permanently and totally disabled, his disability pension shall cease.

In lieu of such deferred pension, the member may elect to receive an immediate early pension commencing at the time of early retirement which shall be the actuarial equivalent of such deferred pension. SECTION 4. CONTRIBUTIONS. All contributions to the Pension Plan with respect to Great West- ern's employees are to be made by Great Western and with respect to Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 7 Northern Ohio's employees are to be made by Northern Ohio. It is the intention of each Company to make contributions from time to time to provide pensions for eligible members under the Plan, in accordance with Section 5, but all contributions made by each Company shall be voluntary and neither Company shall be under any legal obligation to make them. Neither Company guarantees any of the benefits pro- vided under the Plan and each member and pensioner shall look solely to the assets of the Trust Fund for the payment of benefits under the Plan. All contributions shall be paid by the respective Companies to the Trustee to be held as a Trust Fund, under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and of the Trust Agreement between such Trustee and Great Western. Each payment to the Trustee shall be reported to the Pension Committee by the Company making such pay- ment. SECTION 5. PENSIONS. A. The first monthly pension payment will be payable at the end of the month in which the eligible member retires. The last monthly pension payment payable to a pensioner or his beneficiary, if any, shall be prorated to the date of death of the pensioner or to the date of death of his beneficiary. Eligible members, subject to the terms of the Plan, will be en- titled to an annual pension, computed as follows: (1) 55/100ths of 1% of the first $3,000 and 1.3% of the excess over $3,000 but not in excess of $20,000 and 1% of the excess over $20,000 of a member's salary from Great Western computed on an annual basis at the rate paid for the month of December, 1942, multiplied by the number of years of prior service. Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 8 PLUS (2) 3/4ths of 1% of the first $3,000 and 13/4% of the excess over $3,000 but not in excess of $20,000 and 1% of the excess over $20,000 of his salary for each year of membership service; subject to the limitation that in no event shall a period of service in excess of twenty years be entitled to any credit hereunder, and the number of years of prior service that may be computed hereunder shall be only that number of years of prior service which may be required, when added to the number of years of membership service, to pro- vide a credit up to but not in excess of twenty years of service. In determining the salary of a member for each year of member- ship service, the fiscal period beginning March 1 of one year and end- ing the last day of February of the next following year shall be used; provided, however, that the fractional fiscal period commencing the first day of the month next following a member's 45th birthday, and ending March 1 next following, and the fractional fiscal period com- mencing the last day of February preceding such member's normal retirement date or actual retirement date (whichever is earlier) and ending on such member's normal retirement date or actual retirement date (whichever is earlier), shall be taken together as one year of membership service. B. The amount of annual pension to which an eligible member will be entitled as determined under sub-sections (1) and (2) of Sec- tion 5A shall be increased by 1% for each full twelve months of con- tinuous service rendered by him immediately preceding the first day of the calendar month following the month in which he attained age 45 years, provided that there shall have been no interruption in his continuous service during the twenty years immediately preceding his normal retirement date, or actual retirement date, whichever is earlier, whether or not any such interruption may have been found by the Pension Committee not to constitute a break in his continuous service under the provisions of Section 2 hereof. Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 9 C. If the total of the monthly pension payable under the Pension Plan to an eligible member who has attained age 65, and who is retired on or after August 1, 1950, (hereinafter in this proviso termed "such pensioner") and of the primary insurance amount of the old age insur- ance benefit to which such pensioner may be eligible under the pro- visions of the Federal Social Security Act, as presently, or hereafter, amended, is less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) per month, such pensioner shall be entitled to receive under the Pension Plan such additional amount as may be required to make the total of the monthly pension paid to such pensioner under the Pension Plan and of the primary insurance amount of the old age insurance benefit to which such pensioner may be eligible under the provisions of said Federal Social Security Act, as aforesaid, amount to one hundred dollars ($100.00) per month; and in determining the additional amount which may be payable to such pensioner under the Pension Plan, as herein provided, it shall be conclusively assumed that such pensioner has qualified for the old age insurance benefit to which such pensioner may be eligible under the Federal Social Security Act, and that such pensioner is not disqualified to receive such old age insurance benefit for any reason specified in said Act. D. Payments made to members or pensioners under any city, state or Federal law in respect of which premiums or taxes are paid by or at the expense of the Company (other than payments to mem- bers or pensioners or their dependents under laws in effect at the time of the adoption of this Plan) may be offset and deducted at the direc- tion of the Company from pensions payable under the Plan. E. Optional joint and survivor pension. 1. In lieu of the pension otherwise payable to an eligible member on his retirement, such eligible member may elect to convert such pension into a reduced joint and survivor pension in accordance with either of the options set forth below, having an actuarial value as of his retirement date equal to the actuarial value at that date of the pension otherwise payable to him. Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 10 Option 1 A reduced monthly pension payable during such member's life with the provision that after his death one-half of such reduced pension shall be continued during the life of and shall be paid to the member's beneficiary. Option 2 A reduced monthly pension payable during such member's life with the provision that after his death such reduced pension shall be continued during the life of and shall be paid to the member's beneficiary. 2. A member desiring to elect a reduced joint and survivor pen- sion shall file written notice of such election with the Pension Com- mittee within 90 days prior to said member's actual retirement date, provided, however, that in the case of a member retiring on or after March 1, 1960, and prior to the date the inclusion in the Plan of this Section 5E shall be approved by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, such member, if living, may file written notice of such election with the Pension Committee within 30 days after the date the inclusion in the Plan of this Section 5E shall be approved as aforesaid, and in such event, the pension otherwise payable to such member shall be reduced and adjusted according to the option elected so as to provide such member and his beneficiary the actuarial equivalent of the pension amount otherwise payable to such member. Such election shall be on a form prescribed for that purpose by the Pension Committee, shall specify which option he thereby elects and shall set forth the name, address, and relationship of the beneficiary to whom the reduced monthly pension shall be payable if such beneficiary survives the member. Such election, when filed with the Pension Committee, shall be irrevocable, except as provided in paragraph 4 of this subsection E. Proof of age of such beneficiary, satisfactory to the Pension Committee, shall be submitted to the Pension Committee prior to the payment of any pension under an elected option. 3. The first monthly payment of a reduced joint and survivor pension shall be payable at the end of the month in which the member Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 11 retires and the last monthly payment payable to the member for the month in which his death occurs, shall be paid to his beneficiary, if then living. The first monthly payment payable to the member's bene- ficiary shall be for the month following the month in which such mem- ber's death shall occur and the last monthly payment payable to such beneficiary shall be for the month in which such beneficiary shall die. 4. If a member shall have elected a reduced joint and survivor pension but his beneficiary shall die before such employee shall have retired under the Plan, the election theretofore filed by such member shall be disregarded. If a member shall have elected a reduced joint and survivor pension but shall die prior to retirement under the Plan, such election shall cease to be in effect, and the member's beneficiary shall not be entitled to any pension payments. If a member shall have elected a reduced joint and survivor pension, and his beneficiary shall die after the member has retired under the Plan, but prior to the death of such member, such member shall continue to receive reduced joint and survivor pension payments in accordance with the option elected by him. 5. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, after the retirement of a member who shall have elected a reduced joint and survivor pension, the amount of pension which would have been pay- able to him under the Plan had he not elected such reduced joint and survivor pension, would be subject to any further deduction, change, offset or correction, then the amount of reduced joint and survivor pension payable under the option elected shall be adjusted to reflect such further deduction, change, offset or correction. SECTION 6. ADMINISTRATION OF PENSION PLAN. The administration of the Pension Plan and the responsibility for carrying out its provisions shall be vested in a Pension Committee con- sisting of three persons, who shall be appointed by the Board of Direc- tors of Great Western and who shall be subject to removal at any time Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 12 by the Board of Directors of Great Western. Each member of the Pen- sion Committee shall serve for a term of three years or until his suc- cessor shall be appointed. If a vacancy occurs in the Pension Commit- tee, by reason of death, resignation, or for any cause, it shall be filled by the appointment of a new member for the unexpired term by the Board of Directors of Great Western. The Pension Committee may act with or without meeting by a majority, may conduct its business as determined by it from time to time, and, consistent with the Plan, may prescribe its own rules for administration, interpretation and application of the Plan. The Com- mittee may have a bank account or accounts in such banking institu- tions as it may decide. All checks, drafts, requisitions or orders of the Committee for the payment of money, and all requests, directions, and instructions of the Committee to the Trustee shall be signed by any two members of the Committee. The Pension Committee shall elect a Chair- man and may appoint a Secretary (who may or may not be a member of the Committee). The Pension Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to them such ministerial and limited discretionary duties as it sees fit, and may, from time to time, consult with counsel, who may be of counsel to either Company. The members of the Pension Committee shall serve as such without compensation, but will be reimbursed by Great Western for any neces- sary expenditures incurred in service on the Committee. The compen- sation of all employees, agents, or counsel of the Pension Committee shall be fixed by the Committee, subject to the approval of Great Western, and shall be paid by Great Western. The Pension Committee shall keep a record of all of its proceed- ings which shall be open to inspection by the Board of Directors of either Company. It shall maintain accounts showing the financial con- dition of the Trust Fund and the fiscal transactions under the Plan. The Committee shall prepare annually for the Board of Directors of each Company a report showing in reasonable detail the fiscal transac- tions under the Plan, the amount of accumulated cash and securities Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 13 in the Trust Fund as reported to the Pension Committee by the Trustee, and the last balance sheet showing the financial condition of the Trust Fund by means of actuarial valuation of the assets and liabilities thereof. Great Western may designate independent auditors to examine and audit the accounts of the Pension Committee annually and at such other times as Great Western shall designate. Great Western shall appoint an actuary to serve at the pleasure of Great Western, who shall be the technical advisor to the Pension Com- mittee on matters regarding the operation of the Pension Plan and he shall perform such other duties as are required in connection there- with. The Pension Committee shall, from time to time, upon advice of the actuary adopt such mortality and other tables as shall be necessary for the operation of the Pension Plan. The Pension Committee shall determine the manner in which the Trust Fund shall be disbursed and shall, from time to time, give the necessary instructions to the Trustee for disbursement of the Fund. SECTION 7. MANAGEMENT OF TRUST FUND. All assets comprising the Trust Fund under the Pension Plan shall be held as a trust for the purpose of paying pensions under and in ac- cordance with the Plan, and no part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund, at any time prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Plan with respect to members and pensioners, shall ever revert to either Company or be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the members and pensioners entitled thereto under the Plan. No member, nor Pensioner, nor any other person shall have any interest in or right to any part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund, nor any rights in or under the trust except as and to the extent expressly provided in the Plan. The Trust Fund shall be held in trust by a Corporate Trustee appointed by Great Western by appropriate instrument, with such powers in the Trustee as to investment, reinvest- Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 14 ment and control of the Fund, as Great Western shall, from time to time, approve and as shall be in accordance with the Plan. The Trustee upon the establishment of the Plan will be Bankers Trust Company, New York City, New York, acting under and pursuant to a Trust Agree- ment in the form hereto attached. Great Western may at any time remove any Trustee, and on such removal or upon resignation of any Trustee, may designate a successor Corporate Trustee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, either Company, by action of its Board of Directors, may provide for the payment of all pensions theretofore granted its retired employees under the Plan through the purchase of immediate or deferred annuities from any insurance company or companies and in such event the Pension Com- mittee is authorized and empowered to use all or any part of the Trust Fund to purchase such annuities. Great Western shall pay the compensation of the Trustee for its service under the Trust Agreement, as well as the reasonable fees for legal services rendered to the Trustee. All other expenses incurred by the Trustee in the performance of its duties under the Trust Agree- ment, and all real and personal property taxes, income taxes, transfer taxes and other taxes of any and all kinds whatsoever that may be levied or assessed under existing or future laws of any jurisdiction upon or in respect to the Trust Fund, the income thereof, or any money, property or securities forming a part thereof, shall be paid by the Trustee from the Fund. SECTION 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS. Participation in the Pension Plan may be terminated at any time by either Company by the Board of Directors of the Company (here- inafter in this Section 8 called "Terminating Company"), by delivering Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 15 a certified copy of its resolutions to that effect to the Pension Commit- tee or any member thereof and to the Trustee. In the event either Company shall terminate its participation in the Plan as aforesaid, the Pension Committee shall certify to the Trustee that portion of the Trust Fund, as determined by the actuary for the Plan, whose determination shall be final and conclusive, which repre- sents with respect to the pensioners and members of the Terminating Company, an amount which bears to the Trust Fund the same ratio which the actuarial reserve for such pensioners and members bears to the total actuarial reserves in the Trust Fund. Upon receipt of such certificates from the Pension Committee, the Trustee shall set aside from the assets then held by it in the Trust Fund such securities and other property as it shall, in its sole discretion, deem to be equal in value to said portion of the Trust Fund so certified to it by the Pension Committee, and said portion of the Trust Fund shall be used and ap- plied in the following order: (a) To provide for the payment in full of all pensions theretofore granted pensioners of the Terminating Company and pensions to mem- bers who are employees of the Terminating Company and have reached normal retirement age and are entitled to pensions; (b) To provide for the payment of pensions to members who are employees of the Terminating Company in the amounts respectively accrued to the date of termination on the basis of the actuarial equiva- lent thereof, and if said portion of the Trust Fund is insufficient, it shall be used and applied pro rata; (c) After the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to pen- sioners and members of the Terminating Company, any balance in said portion of the Trust Fund shall be paid to the Terminating Company; provided, however, that no amount shall be paid to the Terminating Company other than such amount as may remain in said portion of the Trust Fund because of erroneous actuarial computations. In providing for the payment of pensions in the event of such ter- mination, the Pension Committee, upon direction of the Terminating Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 16 Company, may continue the Trust as to said portion of the Trust Fund in respect of such pensions or may provide for the same through the purchase of immediate or deferred annuities from any insurance com- pany or companies, or liquidate the same through lump sum cash pay- ments to members or pensioners, and when so used and applied as herein provided, the Pension Plan and the Trust shall finally cease and be at an end with respect to said portion of the Trust Fund. In the event that the assets or the income of the Trust Fund under the Plan shall at any time be subjected to liability for payment of any tax, the Pension Committee may reduce the amount of all pensions provided for under the Plan by such extent as shall be required on an actuarial basis to reflect the effect of such taxes upon the amount of the Trust funds held under the Plan. The establishment of the Pension Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal rights upon any employee or any person for a continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the right of either Company to discharge any employee and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him as a member of the Pension Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any pensioner may, with either Company's approval, render services to such Com- pany in any capacity and receive compensation therefor and also re- ceive his pension under the Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent as if he were not receiving compensation for such services. SECTION 9. NON-ALIENATION OF BENEFITS. No pension at any time payable under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void, nor shall such pension be in any manner liable for or Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 17 subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any member or pensioner. If any member or pensioner shall become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any such pension, then such pension shall cease and determine, and in that event the Committee may hold or apply the same to or for the benefit of such member or pensioner, or his spouse, children, or other dependents. SECTION 10. AMENDMENTS. Subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, either Company reserves the right, by action of its Board of Directors, at any time and from time to time, to modify or amend, in whole or in part, any or all provisions of the Plan, provided that any modification or amendment made by one Company shall not affect the members or pensioners of the other Company unless such other Company shall join in such modi- fication or amendment, and provided further that no amendment or modification shall increase the amount of pension of any pensioner who has retired prior to the effective date thereof. No modification or amendment may be made which by reason thereof will deprive any member or pensioner under the Plan of any part of the benefits in the Trust Fund to which he would otherwise be entitled at that time under the Plan, unless and to the extent that such modification or amend- ment shall be necessary either (a) to comply with any requirement of statutory or general law, or (b) to enable the Pension Plan to qualify or remain qualified as an employees' trust exempt from taxation under federal, state or local revenue laws, or unless without such modifica- tion or amendment the contributions by either Company would not be deductible under the provisions of any applicable law or regulation in computing its income subject to income tax. Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/xyjh0227 18 SECTION 11. INTERPRETATION. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Pension Com- mittee shall have exclusive right to interpret the Pension Plan and to determine any question arising under or in connection with the Plan, and its decision or action in respect thereof shall be conclusive and binding upon any and all members, pensioners and any other persons having any interest under the Plan. SECTION 12. CONSTRUCTION. The Pension Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of New York, and all provisions hereof shall be administered according to the laws of said state. SECTION 13. With the consent of Great Western and the Trustee, Northern Ohio may become a participant in this Plan by delivering to Great Western, the Pension Committee, or a member thereof, and to the Trustee a certified copy of resolutions of the Board of Directors of Northern Ohio adopting this Plan as its Pension Trust Plan for its employees.

It was the first time Toth has seen his family since he was arrested Aug. 6 for pos- sessing photographs of a sugar refinery near Belgrade. Asked by reporters if he would like to talk about his experiences, he smiled weakly, raised his hands and said, "Tomorrow.' Toth will hold a press conference Saturday afternoon. Following a round of handshakes and kisses from co-workars, Toth was ushered from the airfield by representatives of Great Western. He and his family changed cars shortly after leaving the airport and left for a quiet evening in their home at 9778 Orangewood Drive, Thornton. Toth's return marks the end of almost contin- uous negotiations by the U.S. State Department and Rep. James Johnson, R-Colo. to obtain his release from the Sremska Mitrovica prison near Belgrade. Although he and State Department officials protested from the beginning that Toth was innocent of the espionage charges, he was con- victed and sentenced to seven years in prison. Only a pardon from the Yugoslavian "collec- tive presidency" last month spared him from serving the full sentence.

LOVELAND, COLORADO DAILY REPORTER-HERALD WEEKEND, JULY 24-25,1976 Hand outstretched, Laszlo Toth prepared Friday night to meet a group of family and friends, who had gathered outside the terminal at Stapleton International Airport to welcome him home from prison in Yugoslavia. Toth's wife, Zora, and daughter Vera (center photo) were the most anxious to embrace him, after having waited more than a year, never knowing for certain whether he would be released, or if he would have to complete a seven-year prison sentence in Yugoslavia.

He arrived at the airport at about 7 p.m. He had flown in from New York, where he had arrived earlier from Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

Several carried homemade signs that read, Welcome Home Laszlo.' He was greeted by his wife, Zora, dressed in a crisp white skirt suit, and their daughter, Vera, 18. It was the first time Toth has seen his family since he was arrested Aug. 6 for pos- sessing photographs of a sugar refinery near Belgrade. Asked by reporters if he would like to talk about his experiences, he smiled weakly, raised his hands and said, "Tomorrow.' Toth will hold a press conference Saturday afternoon. Following a round of handshakes and kisses from co-workars, Toth was ushered from the airfield by representatives of Great Western. He and his family changed cars shortly after leaving the airport and left for a quiet evening in their home at 9778 Orangewood Drive, Thornton. Toth's return marks the end of almost contin- uous negotiations by the U.S. State Department and Rep. James Johnson, R-Colo. to obtain his release from the Sremska Mitrovica prison near Belgrade. Although he and State Department officials protested from the beginning that Toth was innocent of the espionage charges, he was con- victed and sentenced to seven years in prison. Only a pardon from the Yugoslavian "collec- tive presidency" last month spared him from serving the full sentence. As a parting shot, Toth was stripped of the Yugoslavian portion of his dual citizenship an hour before he left Belgrade Friday. Robert A.

Several carried homemade signs that read, Welcome Home Laszlo.' He was greeted by his wife, Zora, dressed in a crisp white skirt suit, and their daughter, Vera, 18. It was the first time Toth has seen his family since he was arrested Aug. 6 for pos- sessing photographs of a sugar refinery near Belgrade. Asked by reporters if he would like to talk about his experiences, he smiled weakly, raised his hands and said, "Tomorrow.' Toth will hold a press conference Saturday afternoon. Following a round of handshakes and kisses from co-workars, Toth was ushered from the airfield by representatives of Great Western. He and his family changed cars shortly after leaving the airport and left for a quiet evening in their home at 9778 Orangewood Drive, Thornton. Toth's return marks the end of almost contin- uous negotiations by the U.S. State Department and Rep. James Johnson, R-Colo. to obtain his release from the Sremska Mitrovica prison near Belgrade. Although he and State Department officials protested from the beginning that Toth was innocent of the espionage charges, he was con- victed and sentenced to seven years in prison. Only a pardon from the Yugoslavian "collec- tive presidency" last month spared him from serving the full sentence. As a parting shot, Toth was stripped of the Yugoslavian portion of his dual citizenship an hour before he left Belgrade Friday. Robert A.

A relatively small group was on hand to greet Toth, slightly more than 20, not counting a horde of reporters.

Toth's wife, Zora, and daughter Vera (center photo) were the most anxious to embrace him, after having waited more than a year, never knowing for certain whether he would be released, or if he would have to complete a seven-year prison sentence in Yugoslavia.

The 44-year-old Yugoslav-born American in a Yugoslavian prison stepped gingerly down the plane ramp at Stapleton International Airport to the cheers of co-workers at the Great Western Sugar Co. where he was employed. Several carried homemade signs that read, Welcome Home Laszlo.' He was greeted by his wife, Zora, dressed in a crisp white skirt suit, and their daughter, Vera, 18. It was the first time Toth has seen his family since he was arrested Aug. 6 for pos- sessing photographs of a sugar refinery near Belgrade. Asked by reporters if he would like to talk about his experiences, he smiled weakly, raised his hands and said, "Tomorrow.' Toth will hold a press conference Saturday afternoon. Following a round of handshakes and kisses from co-workars, Toth was ushered from the airfield by representatives of Great Western. He and his family changed cars shortly after leaving the airport and left for a quiet evening in their home at 9778 Orangewood Drive, Thornton. Toth's return marks the end of almost contin- uous negotiations by the U.S. State Department and Rep. James Johnson, R-Colo. to obtain his release from the Sremska Mitrovica prison near Belgrade. Although he and State Department officials protested from the beginning that Toth was innocent of the espionage charges, he was con- victed and sentenced to seven years in prison. Only a pardon from the Yugoslavian "collec- tive presidency" last month spared him from serving the full sentence. As a parting shot, Toth was stripped of the Yugoslavian portion of his dual citizenship an hour before he left Belgrade Friday. Robert A.

Toth said the worst part was not knowing what had happened to his family or if anyone was trying to obtain his release. He was allowed no visits from representatives of the U.S. Embassy during his stay in Novi Sad, or later at the political prison of Sremska Mitrovica, 50 miles west of Belgrade. Both Toth and his wife, Zora, said only persistent intervention on their behalf by State Department and other U.S. officials kept Toth from serving the full sentence.

Several carried homemade signs that read, Welcome Home Laszlo.' He was greeted by his wife, Zora, dressed in a crisp white skirt suit, and their daughter, Vera, 18. It was the first time Toth has seen his family since he was arrested Aug. 6 for pos- sessing photographs of a sugar refinery near Belgrade. Asked by reporters if he would like to talk about his experiences, he smiled weakly, raised his hands and said, "Tomorrow.' Toth will hold a press conference Saturday afternoon. Following a round of handshakes and kisses from co-workars, Toth was ushered from the airfield by representatives of Great Western. He and his family changed cars shortly after leaving the airport and left for a quiet evening in their home at 9778 Orangewood Drive, Thornton. Toth's return marks the end of almost contin- uous negotiations by the U.S. State Department and Rep. James Johnson, R-Colo. to obtain his release from the Sremska Mitrovica prison near Belgrade. Although he and State Department officials protested from the beginning that Toth was innocent of the espionage charges, he was con- victed and sentenced to seven years in prison. Only a pardon from the Yugoslavian "collec- tive presidency" last month spared him from serving the full sentence. As a parting shot, Toth was stripped of the Yugoslavian portion of his dual citizenship an hour before he left Belgrade Friday. Robert A.

GROWER-GW PURITY COMMITTEE REPORT December 9, 1976 Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/txlh0227 PURITY COMMITTEE REPORT SECTION 1. The agreement between The Great Western Sugar Company and the respective Grower Associations contained in the 1976-1977-1978 Crop Contract specifi- cally stated that an impartial Purity Committee was to be formed and that Committee was to establish the following: "An average base period purity for the 1960-66 period. " The Committee was formed, has studied the data and information made avail- able, and from that study has the opinion that: I. The approach of establishing a base 1960-66 relationship between diffusion juice purity and harvested beet sugar content is properly represented by a statistical analysis of the 1960-66 data by plant by years. The relationship is represented as y = 68.7119 + 1.128 x, where y is the percentage diffusion juice purity (Refrac- tometer Dry Substance) and x is percent sugar content of harvested beets. II. The regression line formulated from the data available to the Committee relating to the 1960-66 percent sugar in beets purchased and the purity of diffusion juice can be assumedusable for comparison purposes with the data found in recent years; 1970 through 1975 as well as 1976. III. The purity of beets purchased, if properly determined, can be evaluated for additional payment due to a higher (Continued) Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/does/txlh0227 than base period purity or evaluated for a reduction of payment due to a lower than base period purity. The premium or penalty due to purity can then be established by assessing a value to a one percent purity point and this value can then be the premium or penalty. IV. The 1960-66 purity formula is usable for evaluating purity, but we cannot guarantee that is is entirely fair, just and equitable to all Growers and the Company. suppert to comments in attached gddendum of 12/14/16 John E.

"Procedures to test the Grower's beets for purity at the receiving station." The Committee was formed and has visited the purity laboratories and observed the procedures for the delivered purity for the 1976 crop and approved the con- cept and the design of the laboratories. For future crops, the procedures being used by the laboratories should be eval- uated to assure that the purity testson harvested beets, cossettes and diffusion juice are compatible. subject commention attended addendur of 12/14/06 John E. Hedde Johnson John Hupfer R. A. McGinnis Roberteleven Robert Owen Email Forrest Walters Source; https://wwwvw.industrydocuments.ucsf,edu/docs/txlh0227 PURITY COMMITTEE REPORT SECTION 3. The 1960-66 formula shown in Section 1 is based on the relationship between diffusion juice purity and harvested beet sugar content. In order to es- tablish a practical means of assessing premiums and penalties to individual growers, the 1960-66 formula must be adjusted for the difference between diffusion juice purity and harvested purity. The only data currently avail- able for making the adjustment is that data collected during the 1976 campaign. Earlier tests for harvested purity have not been made. Due to the inconsistent nature of the harvested purity data and the diffusion juice data collected in 1976, the Committee recommends that data on harvested purity and diffusion juice purity be collected again in 1977, being careful to evaluate the inconsistencies, before establishing an adjustment factor to correct the 1960-66 formula to harvested purity. Should the Growers and the Company feel compelled to establish a corrected formula in 1977, we suggest that the results of the 1960-66 formula be adjusted by plus and minus one percentage point to account for the uncertainty of the correct adjustment factor for harvested purity. The inconsistent nature of the 1976 data can be observed in the attached Chart A which shows that in the case of four plants, harvested purity is higher than diffusion juice purity and in the case of two plants, harvested purity is below diffusion juice purity. In addition, it is expected that harvested purity would average lower than diffusion juice purity due to the normal elimination by diffusion process of large moleculed nonsugars. Further, it is expected that harvested purity would approximate cossette purity which is not true in any of the plants shown in Chart A. (Continued) Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/txlh0227 PURITY COMMITTEE REPORT The formula, not considered practical by the Committee, but which conceivably could be used by the Growers and the Company if they were so compelled is summarized as follows: The adjusted relationship is represented as y + 1 = (+ 1) + 68.7119 + 1.128 x, where y +1 is the percentage harvested purity (Refractometer Dry Substance) and X is the percent sugar content of harvested beets. in of 12/14/16 John E.

The agreement between The Great Western Sugar Company and the respective Grower Associations contained in the 1976-1977-1978 Crop Contract specifi- cally stated that an impartial Purity Committee was to be formed and that Committee was to establish the following: "A formula for the application to the schedule set forth above of the difference (if any) between the 1977 and 1978 beet purity and the average base period purity. "The purpose of the formula shall be to add to or subtract from the payment calculated pursuant to the above schedule an amount proportionately equal to the extent of the difference between actual 1977 and 1978 beet purities and those of the average base period. " To this extent the Committee recommends that for each one percentage point of harvested purity deviation from the calculated value based on the 1960-66 re- lationship, the Grower be assessed a premium or a penalty per ton of .0181 times the contract beet price as shown in paragraph 5 of the 1976 Sugar Beet Contract between the grower and The Great Western Sugar Company. The premium/ penalty calculation can be summarized as follows: Grower Harvested Purity - 1960-66 Standard Purity_7 X .0181 Contract Beet Price for Standard Beets = Assessed Penalty or Premium ton. comments in 05/14/76 Robert elleven Jaha John Jöhn E.

Hedde, a member of the Purity Committee established in the current Sugar Beet Contract, have signed the Purity Committee Report with the following exceptions added to or deleted from as the case may be: SECTION 1, ITEM I, SECOND PARAGRAPH The formula given there as "y = 68.7119 + 1.128 x," where y is the percentage diffusion juice purity and x is percent sugar content of harvested beets is based upon the theory that the diffusion juice purity is equal to or greater than the purity of harvested beets and therefore is inconsistent with the actual data presented pertaining to the harvested purities and that relationship to diffusion juice purities for the 1976 crop. That particular formula based upon the above-mentioned theory has developed a regression line using the diffusion juice purities experienced by the / company in the years 1960-66. From my knowledge and research experience, I have not found any data to document or support the theory that diffusion juice purity is equal to or greater than beets delivered purity. A formula that represents beets delivered purity for the 1960-66 base period would be y = .9248 x + 73.1231, where y = purity of beets harvested and x = percent sugar in beets harvested. This formula is supported by data obtained during 1976. SECTION 3 Section 3 contains reservations concerning the Committee's formula reported in Section 1 and these reservations are supportive of the formula as recommended in the above statement to Section 1. Additionally, Section 3's conclusions should. not Page 2 of 3 fall Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/txlh0227 be implemented for the 1977 crop year since they are outside the tasks of the Committee as stated in the Sugar Beet Contract, and is in fact not a recommendation for implementation, but a non-committal statement by the Committee to convey their reservations about the formula established in Section 1. SECTION 4 Section 4 should be implemented for the 1977 crop year, but with the following change to the formula assessing premiums or penalties. The formula for assessing premiums or penalties should be: Growers harvested purities -1960-66 standard purities_ X sugar content of beets purchased x .3118 x the net price per pound of sugar = assessed premium or penalty per ton of beets. This formula is documented and supported by actual operating data of The Great Western Sugar Company for the years 1960-66. John E.

WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 30, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr., was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.

WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 30, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr., was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.

OWEN, who rose to management from the engineering profession, is president of The Great Western Sugar Company with offices in Denver. Owen came to GW Sugar in February of 1968 from the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, where he was general manager of equipment operations. In his 12 years with Ford, Owen advanced through a succession of management posts. He started in the tractor and implement manufacturing division, utilizing his experience as an agricultural engineer. Earlier, Owen was manager of the engineering department of the Pineapple Research Institute in Hawaii, where he began his career as an agricultural engineer for Del Monte Corporation. In between his Hawaiian assignments, he was a technical representative for DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware. At GW Sugar, Owen completes a full circle from his first acquaintance with sugar beets at the University of California at Davis, where he earned his engineering degree. During World War 11, Owen served with the Corps of Engineers and now holds the rank of brigadier general in the U. S. Army Reserve.

His great- grandfather, Mahlon T. Thatcher, Sr. , was one of the founding officers of GW Sugar in Colorado. The sugar company, meantime, continues to be operated as a sugar company in the words of Robert R. Owen, president. He says the only change involves greater emphasis on research, both on the beet farm and in the sugar factory, with the accent on people to perform jobs in all phases of the business. Owen came to GW Sugar last February from the equipment division of the Ford Motor Company in Michigan, where he was general manager. At Ford he held executive positions for 12 years. An agricultural engineer by profession, he served in Hawaii with the Del Monte Corporation and the Hawaiian Pineapple Institute. He is a graduate of the University of California at Davis and is a brigadier general in the U. S. Army Reserve. The dinner guests will be from communities throughout Great Western's extensive factory districts of Billings and Lovell, along with officers of the sugar company from Denver and members of the management staffs at the two sugar factories. The meeting is the third to be held this winter by Great Western in the principal cities of the company's territory. - 30 - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/lhjh0227 THE GREAT WESTERN SUGAR COMPANY Billings, Montana January 17, 1969 quiter Mr. R.

TO MEMBER HEADS ONLY AUG 6 1971 # 24 Sugar Bill Conferees Appointed Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 - House and Senate Conferees have been selected for t h e conference on extension of the THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE U.S. sugar act, but prospects are dim that the meetings will begin before the Congressional Thursday, August 5, 1971 recess starts Aug. 6. In the House, the conferees will be Agriculture Committee Chairman W. R. Poage, D- Tex., Rep. Thomas Abernethy, D-Miss.; Rep. Thomas Foley, D-Wash.; Rep. Page Belcher, D-Okla.; and Rep. Charles Teague, R-Calif. Senate conferees will be Sen. Russell Long, D - La.; chairman of the Senate Fi- nance Committee, Sen. Clin- ton P. Anderson, D-N. Mex.; Sen. Herman Talmadge, D- Ga., Sen. Wallace F. Bennett, R-Utah, and Sen. Carl Curtis, R-Neb. Informed sources said the two committee chairmen did not want a large number of conferees because that would make it harder to resolve the controversial issues involved. The House usually appoints seven conferees for confer- ences. The selection of Rep. Foley, a surprise move by Chairman Poage, was based on his de- sire to have a man on the House side "who's identified with and has the confidence of the House .liberals," sources said. Liberals in both House and Senate have sought un- successfully to amend the bills proposed by the two commit- tees and to establish a com- mission to recommend reform of the sugar act.

During the sixteenth, seventeenth, and continued on following page Source:,https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/nmkvo228 THIS COMFORTABLE situation seemed immutable until 1974, when a concatenation of events blew out the glass and left the industry shivering in the unaccustomed cold winds of competition. All of the troubles can be traced, oddly enough, to an enormous rise in prices that at first seemed like a bonanza. That upsurge in prices is still a mystery to many people, even in the industry. At different times, it has been ascribed to heavy Russian purchases, Arab speculation, industrial hoarders, or foolhardy traders. Millions of consumers, recalling the enormous windfall profits reported by the refining industry two years ago, assume that refiners caused it all. But there's no arguing the magnitude of one of the greatest runaway price spirals in the history of commodities. The price of raw sugar on world and U.S. markets rose more than 300 per cent between January and November of 1974, from 16 cents a pound to 65 cents. That peak price was some fifteen times the avérage world price in the preceding decade. IN 1973, ASTUTE sugar traders had foreseen that some kind of pressure on prices was probable for the following year. Rising world consumption had been outstripping producion since early 1970, and stocks were falling apace. Disappointing harvests further tightened the supply in 1974. The U.S. beet crop was down by some 400,000 short tons, and harvests were considerably below expectations in several other nations - among them the USSR, which began buying heavily on the world markets. Some exporting nations, moreover, had been holding back shipments, either to meet their SUGAR BEETS ROLL in on Oct. 5, 1976, at Gering's processing plant. The plant has since been closed.

This may turn out to be extremely simple - no problem at all- - or it may bring up questions which will strongly influence your choice of the home itself. If you find a home you like and the dealer is opera- ting a park in which you think you would be happy, and he will place your home in an acceptable loca- tion in his park, you have no problem about where to put the home. If you find a home you like and the dealer can refer you to a location he knows about in another park in the neighborhood, you should have no problem. Note that you should make arrangements to rent your space in the park before signing papers to buy the mobile home.

WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 30, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr., was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.

OWEN, who rose to management from the engineering profession, is president of The Great Western Sugar Company with offices in Denver. Owen came to GW Sugar in February of 1968 from the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, where he was general manager of equipment operations. In his 12 years with Ford, Owen advanced through a succession of management posts. He started in the tractor and implement manufacturing division, utilizing his experience as an agricultural engineer. Earlier, Owen was manager of the engineering department of the Pineapple Research Institute in Hawaii, where he began his career as an agricultural engineer for Del Monte Corporation. In between his Hawaiian assignments, he was a technical representative for DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware. At GW Sugar, Owen completes a full circle from his first acquaintance with sugar beets at the University of California at Davis, where he earned his engineering degree. During World War 11, Owen served with the Corps of Engineers and now holds the rank of brigadier general in the U. S. Army Reserve.

WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 30, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr., was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.

OWEN, who rose to management from the engineering profession, is president of The Great Western Sugar Company with offices in Denver. Owen came to GW Sugar in February of 1968 from the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, where he was general manager of equipment operations. In his 12 years with Ford, Owen advanced through a succession of management posts. He started in the tractor and implement manufacturing division, utilizing his experience as an agricultural engineer. Earlier, Owen was manager of the engineering department of the Pineapple Research Institute in Hawaii, where he began his career as an agricultural engineer for Del Monte Corporation. In between his Hawaiian assignments, he was a technical representative for DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware. At GW Sugar, Owen completes a full circle from his first acquaintance with sugar beets at the University of California at Davis, where he earned his engineering degree. During World War 11, Owen served with the Corps of Engineers and now holds the rank of brigadier general in the U. S. Army Reserve.

Bergland Wants Talks U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland says he wants to assemble farmers, industry and consumer leaders to discuss the possibility of a long-range national sugar policy. "At 13.5 cents a pound, we'll have a policy that will hold our domestic industry at its current (production) level. But it wouldn't be able to expand," Bergland said. He predicted that if prices remain at the proposed 13.5 cent floor, there would be a steady reduction in output of domestic beet sugar and some drop in Louisiana sugarcane acreage. "After we get out of the current sugar crisis, what I'd like is a meeting with leaders in sugarcane and beets and the fructose industry and consumers to figure out what kind of a future policy we ought to have," Bergland said.

In making the announcement, the Department stressed that the payment program is an interim measure to remain in effect only until the provisions of the loan or purchase program (de la Garza amendment) provided for in the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977, can be effective in keeping prices at the support level. Secretary Bergland said he had directed the Department's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, to give "highest priority" to finalizing regulations under the new farm bill and putting them into effect. Key provisions of the interim program are: 1977 crop is defined for Louisiana as the harvest period, October 1977 through January 1978, for Florida and Texas, October 1977 chrough May 1978. The support to producers will be made available by means of payments by the Commodity Credit Corpor- ation (CCC-ASCS) to processors on the quantity of raw sugar marketed from the 1977 crop during the period beginning September 16, 1977, until all 1977 crop sugar has been marketed or until another price support program for the 1977 crop supercedes the payment program. In order for the processor to be eligible for payments, he must certify that producers will be paid not less than $15.90 per net ton of sugar cane of average quality (sugar cane containing 12.69% sucrose in normal juice of 78.13% purity), in Louisiana; $18.37 per net ton of sugar cane of average quality (sugar cane containing 14.01% sucrose in normal juice) in Florida and other specified rates in Texas, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The price may be adjusted for sugar cane of non-average quality on a method agreed upon by the producer and processor. The regulations do not prohibit further ad justments due to normal and traditional customs or practices agreed upon between the producer and processor, with respect to the marketing of sugar cane. The rate of payment for the marketing period will be the amount by which the national average market price received by processors in that period is less than 132/ per pound. National average market price means the price of sugar, raw value, computed by dividing gross proceeds on a raw sugar equivalent basis received by all processors by the quantity of sugar, raw value, marketed by all processors during the marketing period. The regulations covering the payment program were filed with the Federal Register on October 4, and scheduled for printing on October 7. We are reliably informed that ASCS officials are working on regulations and other data for the implementation for the loan or purchase program. It would be difficult to make such a program effective in less than 60 days. Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/llyv0228

In making the announcement, the Department stressed that the payment program is an interim measure to remain in effect only until the provisions of the loan or purchase program (de la Garza amendment) provided for in the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977, can be effective in keeping prices at the support level. Secretary Bergland said he had directed the Department's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, to give "highest priority" to finalizing regulations under the new farm bill and putting them into effect. Key provisions of the interim program are: 1977 crop is defined for Louisiana as the harvest period, October 1977 through January 1978, for Florida and Texas, October 1977 chrough May 1978. The support to producers will be made available by means of payments by the Commodity Credit Corpor- ation (CCC-ASCS) to processors on the quantity of raw sugar marketed from the 1977 crop during the period beginning September 16, 1977, until all 1977 crop sugar has been marketed or until another price support program for the 1977 crop supercedes the payment program. In order for the processor to be eligible for payments, he must certify that producers will be paid not less than $15.90 per net ton of sugar cane of average quality (sugar cane containing 12.69% sucrose in normal juice of 78.13% purity), in Louisiana; $18.37 per net ton of sugar cane of average quality (sugar cane containing 14.01% sucrose in normal juice) in Florida and other specified rates in Texas, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The price may be adjusted for sugar cane of non-average quality on a method agreed upon by the producer and processor. The regulations do not prohibit further ad justments due to normal and traditional customs or practices agreed upon between the producer and processor, with respect to the marketing of sugar cane. The rate of payment for the marketing period will be the amount by which the national average market price received by processors in that period is less than 132/ per pound. National average market price means the price of sugar, raw value, computed by dividing gross proceeds on a raw sugar equivalent basis received by all processors by the quantity of sugar, raw value, marketed by all processors during the marketing period. The regulations covering the payment program were filed with the Federal Register on October 4, and scheduled for printing on October 7. We are reliably informed that ASCS officials are working on regulations and other data for the implementation for the loan or purchase program. It would be difficult to make such a program effective in less than 60 days. Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/llyv0228

the U.S. department of agriculture

File Cat"A" Sugar Feist (202) 447-6787 McDavid (202) 447-4026 OCT 14 1977 NEWS Paul U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FINAL REGULATIONS ON REVISED SUGAR PAYMENTS PROGRAM APPROVED: WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 -The U.S. Department of Agriculture today outlined the final provisions of the 1977-crop sugar price support payment program announced by the Secretary of Agriculture on Sept. 15 as becoming effective that day. Department officials stressed that the payment program is an interim measure to remain in effect only until the provisions of the loan or purchase program provided for in the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 can be effective in keeping prices at the support level. Secretary Bergland said he had directed the department's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service to give "highest priority" to finalizing regulations under the new farm bill and putting them into effect. Key provisions of the interim program are as follows: 1. The "1977 Crop" is defined, by area, as sugarbeets and sugarcane the substantial portion of which is harvested during the following periods: Sugar Producing Area Harvesting Period Sugarbeets: All States, excluding California and September-November 1977 Arizona California, excluding Southern area July 1977-June 1978 Southern California March-August 1978 Arizona - lowland area April-August 1978 Arizona - upland area September 1977-January 1978 Sugarcane: Florida October 1977-May 1978 Louisiana October 1977-January 1978 Texas October 1977-May 1978 Hawaii Calendar year 1977 Puerto Rico December 1977-July 1978 2. Prices to domestic producers during the 1977 crop will be supported at the following general levels, estimated to be equivalent to 52.5 percent of parity as of July 1977: Sugarbeet producers - $22.84 per net ton of sugarbeets of average quality (sugarbeets containing 15.44 percent sucrose). Applicents for all Depertment programs will be given squal consideration without regard to race, color, sex, creed or national origin. 7835 - more - USDA 2855-77 Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/rxbx0227 - -2 - Sugarcane producers: Florida - $18.37 per net ton of sugarcane of average quality (sugarcane containing 14.01 percent sucrose in normal juice) . Louisiana - $15.90 per net ton of sugarcane of average quality (sugarcane containing 12.69 percent sucrose in normal juice of 78.18 percent purity) Texas - 8.10 cents per pound times the average pounds of cane sugar, raw value, recovered per ton from the sugarcane delivered to the processor by all producers, as adjusted by the processor to reflect the quality of the juice (normal juice sucrose and normal juice purity) extracted from the individual producer's sugarcane. Hawaii - Where the delivery point for sugarcane is at the mill, 8.91 cents per pound times the total pounds of cane sugar, raw value, recovered per ton from the sugarcane delivered bas to the processor by the individual producer. Puerto Rico - As determined in accordance with the provisions of Puerto Rico Law No. 426--also known as the Puerto Rico Sugar Law --and the rules issued thereunder by the Sugar Board of Puerto Rico. In areas where the specified support price is based on sugarbeets or sugar- cane of average quality, the price may be adjusted for sugarbeets or sugarcane of non-average quality on a method agreed upon by the producer and processor. The regulations do not prohibit further adjustments due to normal and traditional customs or practices agreed upon between the producer and processor with respect to the marketing of sugarbeets, sugarcane, or sugar. 3. The support to producers will be made available by means of payments by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to processors on the quantity of refined beet sugar and cane sugar, raw value, marketed from the 1977-crop during the period beginning Sept. 15, 1977, forward until all 1977-crop sugar has been marketed or until another price support program for the 1977-crop supersedes this program. more Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/rxbx0227 - 3 - 4. The rate of payment for the marketing period will be the amount by which the national average market price received by processors in that period is less than 13.5 cents per pound. No payment will be made if the national average market price received by processors is equal to or greater than 13.5 cents per pound. Eligibility for payments is subject to the following requirements: 1. The processor must certify that producers will be paid no less than the applicable support price. Under normal and traditional methods of settle- ment where the processor would be required to make a payment greater than the support price, the processor will be obligated to make such payment over and above the support price to the producer. 2. The processor must submit a report by Oct. 20, 1977, showing the quantity of sugar marketed and the gross proceeds received therefrom during the 12-month period July 1, 1976 through June 30, 1977. This data will be used as a basis for converting gross proceeds received for refined beet sugar to a raw sugar price equivalent basis. The report must also show the quantity of refined beet sugar or cane sugar, raw value, in inventory at the beginning of the 1977-crop harvest and the quantity of 1977-crop sugar, if any, in inventory as of Sept. 15, 1977. 3. The processor must also submit a report, within 15 days after the end of the marketing period, showing the quantity of sugar marketed from the 1977- crop during the marketing period and the gross proceeds received therefrom. This data will be used to determine the national average market price for the marketing period and the quantity of sugar upon which payment will be made. The price support payment program regulations were approved by the Secretary of Agriculture on Oct. 4 1977, and are scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on Oct. 7, 1977.

A special open house, Saturday, September 21 will provide the public with a first-hand view of the Frank A. Kemp Factory of Great Western Sugar Company, a giant $15 million facility located in the heart of America near the Kansas-colorado border, 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas. Robert R. Owen, president of Great Western Sugar, said that the plant is second largest of G W Sugar's eighteen factories which serve the efficient sugar beet producing regions of the mid-west. The new plant has a slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per 24-hour period. About. 200 persons will be employed during the "campaign", the around-the-clock produc- tion season of about 130 days. The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board of GWS and leader of the American beet sugar industry for 31 years. Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 2 - an average of 325 men per day. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, super- visors, technicians and other personnel, except a few con- tracted structures. Kemp Factory sugar production for the current campaign will exceed 100,000,000 pounds, or enough to supply the total consumer and food processor needs of the State of Kansas for 9 months. By-product production will include about 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. Beet plantings this year in the Kemp Factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres, about twice those of 1967. Because of the large increase, the Kemp Factory will be able to process only about 2/3 of the beets in the district. The rest will be diverted to Great Western factories in Colorado. The harvest of the beets is entirely mechanized, and takes about 6 weeks. Beets in the Kemp Factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the com- pany's growers consistently exceed other beet growers in the United States in sugar yield per acre. One acre of beets Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 3 - here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Kemp district beets yield more than twice as much sugar as those of the Soviet Union, the world's largest beet sugar producer. In addition, beets offer an important second crop - feed for livestock - from the top and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a definite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp Factory district alone are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will surpass $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural receipts turn over seven times in a community. The Great Western Sugar Company, largest independent producer of beet sugar in the world, was organized in 1905 with 6 sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about 1/4 of the nation's beet sugar and about 7 percent of all sugar distributed in Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 4 - the country. Total sugar beet acreage under G W Sugar con- tract is more than 300,000 acres. The Great Western Sugar Company maintains 9 sugar factories in Northern Colorado, 4 in Western Nebraska, 2 in Northern Ohio, 1 each in Wyoming, Montana and Kansas, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The company operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth; a limestone quarry in Wyoming; and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. William M. White, Jr. president and chairman of the board of Great Western United, directs a vigorous management in the marketing of food products and food services on a national and international level. He sees G W United as "an inventive, flexibile, and imaginative company whose business is to predict, identify, serve and grow with the shifting needs of a changing society in our own country and around the world. " Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 Great Western Sugar Co. - 5 - In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, G W United encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar (Great Western Sugar Company) i flour (colorado Milling & Elevator Company) i package mixes with flour and other ingred- ients (Great Western Foods Company) ; specialty restaurant dishes (Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc.) ; and overseas interests in foods and food services (Great Western International Ltd. ) . In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its marketing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, G W Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial lime products. Special trains, celebrities, remote broadcasts and tours by more than 10,000 visitors will highlight dedication cere- monies of the Kemp Factory during an "open house" to be held Saturday, September 21, 1968. - 30 - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 FACT SHEET for the FRANK A. KEMP SUGAR FACTORY LOCATION : 5 miles west of Goodland, Kansas, and 28 miles east of Burlington, Colorado on U. S. Highway 24 (Interstate 70), 415 miles west of Kansas City, and 200 miles east of Denver. NAME : The factory is named in honor of Frank A. Kemp of Denver, retired Chairman of the Board, for his long and outstanding service to both the company and the beet sugar industry. A Great Westerner for 44 years, Mr. Kemp was chief executive officer for 31 years until his retirement in 1967. COST: In excess of $15,000,000 CONSTRUCTION Construction started in January of 1967 and continued without interruption until mid-September of 1968, employing an average of 325 men per day for the last year. Design and construction were performed entirely by Great Western staff engineers, supervisors, technicians and other personnel, except for a few contracted structures. CAPAC The factory is the second largest in the Great Western system with normal slicing capacity of 3,400 tons of sugar beets per day (24 hours). slicing refers to the volume of beets that can be cut up and introduced into the process each day, with the actual daily capacity depending upon a number of variables, including operating conditions, quality of the beet, weather, etc. PRODUCTION: Processing operations will start on a break-in basis about Sept. 25. The production season, or sugar-making "campaign," will be an around- the-clock operation for about 130 days. Sugar production for the first campaign is expected to exceed 100,000,000 pounds, enough to supply Kansas families and food pro- cessors for nine months. Refined sugar will be sacked in 100-pound paper bags or stored in bulk in the eight sugar bins (silos) for shipment by special rail cars to food processors in the mid-continent area. By-product output will include more than 22,000 tons of dried beet pulp pellets, a highly nutritious livestock feed made from the residues of sliced beets and from molasses left over from the sugar process. EMPLOYMENT: About 200 persons will be employed during the campaign or processing season. Of these, about 55 will be permanent supervisors and per. sonnel engaged in all the year-around functions, including operations, maintenance, chemical control, agriculture and accounting. (These figures do not include large numbers of persons in the district who farm, or work on farms, in the production of sugar beets.). -1- - Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 BEET CROP: Sugar beets, a basic crop in irrigated agriculture, provide the raw material for the factory. They are produced by growers under con- tract with the company on farms in eight counties on or near the border between Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. ACREAGE : Beet plantings this year in the Kemp factory district totaled more than 41,000 acres - nearly twice that of last year. As a result of overwhelming production by growers, the Kemp factory will be able to process only about two-thirds of the beets in the district. The other beets will be shipped by rail to Great Western factories in Colorado. HARVEST: The harvest of beets, entirely mechanized, begins late in September and continues for about six weeks. All beets will be delivered by truck and will be handled at the factory by mechanical equipment. At the factory, the beets will be fed directly into the factory process or stored in huge piles for later processing. These piles will reach the mountainous proportions of about 240,000 tons of sugar beets, the largest single beet receiving station in the Great Western territory. YIELDS : Beets in the Kemp factory district compare favorably in tonnage and sugar content with those grown throughout the Great Western territory, where the company's growers consistently produce more sugar per acre than the U.S. industry as a whole. One acre of beets here produces one-third to one-half again as much sugar as an acre of cane in Cuba, the world's largest producer of cane sugar, in half as much time. Beets in the Kemp district yield more than twice the amount of sugar than those in the Soviet Union, the largest producer of beet sugar in the world. In addition, beets offer a second crop-- feed for livestock--from the tops and leaves left from the harvest in the field, and from the by-products of beet pulp and molasses left over from the sugar factory process. PAYMENTS : Sugar beets provide stable income for growers in the form of a cash crop. Under the contract with the company, the grower has a defi- nite market for his crop at harvest time. Cash returns to growers for the 1968 crop in the Kemp factory district are expected to exceed $11,000,000. The total economic impact for the area will exceed $75,000,000, since economists calculate that agricultural returns turn over seven times in a community. GW SUGAR The Great Western Sugar Company, largest producer of beet sugar in the nation, was organized in 1905 with six sugar factories in Northern Colorado and general offices in Denver. The company now produces about one-fourth of the nation's beet sugar and about seven percent of all sugar distributed in the country. LOCATIONS The Great Western Sugar system embraces 18 factories in six states, including the new Kemp factory, with adjacent sugar beet acreage in all areas totaling more than 300,000 acres. The Kemp factory is the second largest in the system, with built-in provisions for expansion of capacity. 2 Source: :ttps://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 There are nine sugar factories in Northern Colorado, four in Western Nebraska, two in Northern Ohio, one each in Wyoming and Montana, plus a related processing plant in Northern Colorado for extraction of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Great Western also operates bulk sugar distribution terminals in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth, along with a limestone quarry in Wyoming and the Great Western Railway in Northern Colorado. These production centers, aligned and identified with the sugar beet crop, formed a solid base for Great Western Sugar to become a major force in the recent organization of Great Western United Corporation. GW UNITED: As the parent firm, GW United concentrates on vigorous management and marketing of food products and food services. These range from bulk supplies for food processors, as with sugar, to highly specialized dishes for the restaurant table, all aimed for modern consumer trends, whether for a meal or for manufacturing, both in this country and abroad. EXPANS ION: In its accelerated expansion, brief yet bold, GW United now encompasses integral areas in the food field. These include sugar, from Great Western Sugar flour, from the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company package mixes with flour and other ingredients, from the Great Western Foods Company specialty restaurant dishes, from Shakey's Pizza Parlors, Inc restaurant operations, from the Great Western Restaurant Company. and overseas interests in foods and food services, from Great Western International, Ltd. ACQUISITIONS In addition, Great Western Sugar recently acquired a major interest in Northland Research Company, in Minnesota, to broaden its market- ing base with liquid sugars extracted from "sweet-stalk" corn. Also, GW Sugar purchased the Moores Lime Division, in Ohio, to broaden its capability in the production and utilization of industrial 1 ime products. Colorado Milling and Elevator recently assumed operation for GW United of the Emerald Christmas Tree Company, in Michigan and British Columbia, with the purpose of expanding supermarket sales of trees throughout North America.

Owen, President, The Great Western Sugar Company, at dedication of Frank A. Kemp factory, September 21, 1968. "While I am here, I should like to tell you that all of us connected with Great Western are highly pleased to be an integral part of this progressive, outstanding area of western Kansas and eastern Colorado. You have been most kind in accepting us as friends and neighbors. You have leaned over backwards in making us feel at home. We are indeed grateful. "Structures like this magnificent factory are much more than steel, concrete, brick, mortar, and glass. They represent dedicated people. They represent investors with wisdom and courage. They represent detailed plans and months of effort. They represent years of accumulated knowledge. "So many people have had a hand in the successful completion of this factory that I hesitate to single out any of the workers or supervisors for special praise. It took the cooperation and good workmanship of everyone to get the excellent job done and in time for handling the outstanding crop of beets that growers will be delivering, starting next week. But there are a few persons I am sure you would want me to recognize. "Let me first introduce the Great Westerners who were directly in charge of the construction project. They are Jack Corsberg, Tony Flasco, Merle Fleenor, and Jim Amos. In applauding these men for their superior leadership, we are extending heartfelt thanks and congratulations to everyone who put dedication and hard work into construction of this important facility. "This factory, in processing the sugarbeets produced on a couple of hundred farms in a nine-county area, will pour millions of dollars of wealth into the economic bloodstream of a vast region. "The biggest single item will be the 11 million dollars or more that the growers will receive in payments for their 1968 beets. With agricultural receipts estimated to turn over about seven times in a community, these beet payments will mean about 75 million dollars in business activity for western Kansas and eastern Colorado. And there will be additional millions of dollars disbursed in the area in the form of payrolls, taxes, supplies, and transportation payments. Source: https://wwwv.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 - -2- "From humble beginnings only 11 years ago, this enterprise has had a sound, steady growth. From less than 600 acres in 1957, the land in beets in this area has grown to more than 41,000 acres. Since last year the acreage has doubled. How much we grow from here depends in large part on the Sugar Act and acreage allotments, if any, determined thereunder. "You can and should be justly proud of your farmers. They are as productive and progressive as any growing beets for Great Western in an 8-state area. The average output of sugar per acre in this Kansas-eastern Colorado area, which is the combination of yield of beets and sugar content, exceeds the per acre output for the remainder of the United States. The sugar outturn per acre in this new factory district is twice that of the Soviet Union, the largest sugarbeet producer in the world. Demonstrating the efficiency of the American system, an acre of beets here in Kansas and eastern Colorado will produce half again as much sugar in the 7-month growing season as an acre of cane makes in Cuba in 14 months. And Cuba is the world's largest producer of cane sugar. Yes, you should be proud of your growers. "And talking about pride, we at Great Western are proud, too. I trust you will accept that word in its nicest concept. We certainly never intend to be haughty or arrogant. We are proud of our growers. We are proud to be a part of this vital community. And we are proud of the caliber of our employees and the quality of our products. We are proud of our reputation as a good citizen and a good neighbor and of our leadership in the domestic beet sugar industry. "We will not bore you with an account of accomplishments. Instead we will try to let our actions over the months and years ahead speak for us. We trust they will prove our dedication to the economic well-being of this great region of the West. "And now I am pleased to present a man who more than any other is responsible for this factory being here today. He represents the fourth generation of a Pueblo, Colorado, family to be connected with our Company, the president and chairman of the board of directors of the Great Western United Corporation, Mr. William M. White. (REMARKS BY MR. WHITE AND CAKE-CUTTING CEREMONY) "Thank you, Mr. White, and you other cake-cutters.

Then our Chief Chemist, Stan Webster. And finally, Master Mechanic Carl Haffner.

One of the things of which we are most proud is the fact that from 1936 until 1967 Great Western's chief executive, now retired, was Frank A. Kemp, the recognized leader of the entire domestic sugar industry. Frank, will you please join me at the microphone? "When a spokesman for sugar was needed in Washington, it was this man who usually did the talking. When an industry problem needed solving, it was this man whose advice was first sought. When international sugar conferences were called in Geneva, Switzerland, or in London, or in Mexico City, it was this man who was foremost among the American advisors. "It is fitting and proper, therefore, that this plant -- designed, built, and managed by many of the men trained by Mr. Sugar himself -- be hereafter known as the Frank A. Kemp factory. Mr. Kemp, I am happy to unveil this plaque in your honor, and turn this microphone over to you. (REMARKS BY MR. KEMP) "Thank you, Frank. With such a great Westerner's name as yours identified with this factory, we know it will be a credit to the industry and a lasting tribute to your great leadership and important contributions. "Jim Amos, on behalf of the board of directors of Great Western United Corporation, I present this plaque to the local management staff. (REMARKS BY MR.

PRESENTATION OF PLAQUE TO FACTORY MANAGEMENT STAFF Acceptance by Jim Amos, Superintendent of Kemp Factory Source: https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/docs/fqvx0227 WILLIAM M. WHITE, JR., a Great Westerner of the fourth generation, is chairman of the board and president of Great Western United Corporation. White founded GW United in January of 1968 with component companies, including Great Western Sugar, drawn together under one coordinated management for the express purpose of expanding into imaginative new products and services. At the age of 29, as head of a major new force in management and marketing, he stresses creative expansion coupled with change as the style and the goal at GW United. White approaches his objectives with the solid background of a family association with Great Western Sugar dating back nearly 65 years. His father, the late William M. White, Sr., was a director of the company for 25 years. His grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Jr., was a director for the most part of 50 years until his death in 1965. And his great-grandfather, Mahlon D. Thatcher, Sr. , was one of the founding directors of Great Western Sugar in 1905. An honors graduate of Yale University, White was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where his forebearers on both sides of his family first entered business nearly 100 years ago.
