DURING ITS FIRST TWO DECADES THE Cache VaUey sugar industry saw
tentative initial efforts mature into an established industry with factories at Logan and Lewiston. This was followed by a boom period
during and immediately after the First World War when in the space of
a few years three additional factories were buUt and valley beet acreage
reached aU time highs. A drastic sugar price drop in the early twenties
brought the boom to an abrupt halt, leaving three plants closed and the
remaining two facing rather uncertain futures. The industry then
settled into a gradual decline and ultimate demise some fifty years
later. -
