In the spring of 1854 the farmers of Kanyon Creek were encouraged to raise sugar beets. The building was expected to be finished by fall. On December 11, 1854 Govenor Young in his message to the Legislative assembly of the territory of Utah said: "The Kanyon Creek sugar works, designed for the extensive manufacturing of sugar from beets, are nearly ready for operation." It was necessary for the farmers to pit their beets while waiting for the factory to be completed due to cold weather. In another letter written by George A. Smith to Franklin E.
