Title
Salt Industry 2
Description
Salt Refining-- Water is pumped from the Great Salt Lake into large concentration ponds where the salt, averaging 99.5% pure is precipitated by solar evaporation. Salt is loosened by tractor-drawn plows piled in long mounds for curing and later hauled to the mill for refining and packing. Credit: Utah Tourist & Pub.
