===Gunnison Valley Sugar Company===
The Gunnison Valley Sugar Company built a 500-ton factory in Centerfield, Utah, in 1918. The Centerfield factory equipment came from the Washington State Sugar Company plant in Waverly, Washington. The Waverly factory, which opened in December 1899, was considered unprofitable and inferior. The Utah Sugar management, including Cutler, advised Washington Sugar in 1901 for the 1902 season, but the factory closed in 1910. It was sold to Gunnison Sugar for $100,000, installed in Centerfield in 1917, and was ready for the 1918 campaign. U-I went on an aggressive anti-competitive campaign (including spreading rumors, leading to U-I's investigation by the FTC) against Gunnison Valley Sugar Company. In 1920, the William Wrigley Jr. Company purchased the factory to supply their chewing gum production. U-I acquired the Centerfield factory and company in 1940. They closed the factory in 1956, re-opened it from 1958 to 1961, then sold it as scrap in April 1966.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gunnison Valley Legacy Wall Historical Marker |url=https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=260679 |access-date=2025-01-24 |website=www.hmdb.org |language=en}}</ref>
