Stinehelfer Beet Processors, Incorporated, processes sugar beets in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $45 to buy from farmers and $19 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $21 or processed further for $13 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $33.
