COST OF PRODUCING SUGAR BEETS IN UTAH AND IDAHO. 41 
COMPARISON OF BEET RECEIPTS WITH OTHER FARM RECEIPTS. 
A comparison of the returns from sugar beets with that from other 
farm enterprises brings out the importance of this crop in these dis- 
tricts. By referring to Table X XVI it will be seen that the per cent of 
farm receipts from sugar beets varied considerably on the 220 farms 
surveyed. In the Twin Falls area approximately 25 per cent of the 
farm receipts were from sugar beets, whereas in the Lehi and Garland 
districts approximately 50 per cent of the farm receipts came from the 
sale of sugar beets. The Idaho Falls farms fell between these ex- 
tremes. In all cases the major portion of the farm incomes came 
from the sale of crops. The Idaho Falls and Twin Falls areas indi- 
cate returns from live stock and live-stock products ranging from 17 
to 23 per cent. 
In the Lehi and Garland districts about 63 per cent of the income 
from crops came from sugar beets. The percentage was somewhat 
lower in the Idaho Falls and Twin Falls areas. In the latter dis- 
tricts potatoes and wheat were important cash crops.
