BAREVILLE-Corn refiners
have experienced a 7% increase in
the use of fructose corn syrup
according to statistics compiled
for the Com Refiners Association,
Inc., Washington D.C.
A local company who only
recently opened its storage tanks
to this market is L & S Sweeteners,
Bareville. A division of Zook
Molasses, Inc., this new business
owned by Larry and Sally Martin,
RD2, New Holland, saw more than
300 tractor trader loads of com
sweeteners go through the plant in
the month of April. The heavy com
syrup arrives at the distribution
center along the railroad siting in
tank cars. These tank cars must be
heated to 120“ Fahrenheit before
the syrup can be pumped out of the
railroad cars into the stainless
steel silos that provide insulated
storage for the sweeteners.
The heating process is ac
complished by using spent oil in a
huge boiler that creates steam.
The steam pumped through pipes
in the walls of the railroad cars
warms the syrup to pumping
consistency. When the sweetener is
ready to pump, a series of valves
and flow patterns have been
arranged so that cars parked in the
l x h. acre terminal can be unloaded
into any of the four storage tanks.
By switching valves the materials
can be pumped out onto tractor
trailer trucks for delivery to the
customers.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Far
mers and ranchers demonstrating
practical and innovative ways to
conserve soil and water in their
operations are invited to par
ticipate in a national soil and water
conservation awards program.
This is the fourth annual awards
program, sponsored by the
National Endowment for Soil and
Water Conservation and the Du
Pont Company, which selects a
conservation farmer/rancher'
from each state and awards $l,OOO
to each of the three national
winners. In 1985, the national
winners and spouses attended a
special ceremony in the Roosevelt
Room of the White House.
“The purpose of the awards
program is to identify and honor
those farmers and ranchers who
are implementing sound, in
novative and cost-effective con
servation techniques,” says
Emmett Barker, chairman of the
Endowment and president of the
Farm and Industrial Equipment
Institute. “These outstanding
farmers and ranchers deserve

who closed two other terminals in
the northeast since this plant
opened decided to use the Bareville
location for several reasons. 1. The
labor force is reliable. 2. The
trucking firms are reputable. In
addition, the location is central to
the northeast markets.
A USDA report shows that corn
sweeteners constitute the single
largest source of sweeteners in the
American diet. Refinery products
include; high fructose com syrup,
glucose syrup, dextrose com syrup
solids, and maltodextrins.
In recent years major soft drink
bottlers have increasingly
replaced sugar in their formulas
with HFCS. A move analysts at
tribute to a number of factors;
reliability of supplies, consistency
of quality, acceptance among
consumers and economic ad
vantages.
In addition, the locally
distributed sweeteners go to
bakeries and candy manufacturers
in Virginia, Maryland, New Jer
sey, New York, Delaware and
western Pennsylvania.
The storage silos are 12%’ in
diameter and 50’ tall. Coils in the
bottom of these tanks also allow
the steam system to maintain a
120° temperature in the silo. Each
silo holds 2% railroad cars or
40,000 gallons of syrup-that’s 10
tractor truck loads. Invested cost
of the operation is estimated at
about
special recognition and through
this program their conservation
initiatives are brought to the at
tention of others in agriculture and
the public.”
The top conservation far
mer/rancher will be selected from
each state by committees of farm,
conservation and government
leaders. The Endowment
Technical Advisory Committee
will then review the conservation
work of the state winners, selec
ting up to 10 national finalists on
the basis of their accomplishments
in soil and water resource
management and pollution
abatement.
The national finalists and their
spouses will receive an expense
paid trip to attend a national
awards ceremony in the fall. Three
national winners will be selected
from among the finalists.
The winners in the 1985 program
were from Nebraska, Penn
sylvania and Washington.

awards, contact Barbara
