  1 13    14.  "Retail sale" or "sale at retail" means the
  1 14 sale to a consumer or to any person for any purpose,

  1 29 production for market; and does not include
  1 30 electricity, steam, or any taxable service when
  1 31 purchased and used in the processing of tangible

  1 34 carbon dioxide in a liquid, solid, or gaseous form,
  1 35 electricity, steam, and other taxable services are
  1 36 sold for processing when used to produce marketable
  1 37 food products for human consumption, including but not

  2  3 of fabrication, compounding, manufacturing, or
  2  4 germination become an integral part of other tangible
  2  5 personal property intended to be sold ultimately at
  2  6 retail; or will be consumed as fuel in creating heat,
  2  7 power, or steam for processing including grain drying,
  2  8 or for providing heat or cooling for livestock
  2  9 buildings or for greenhouses or buildings or parts of

  2 14 or for generating electric current, or in implements
  2 15 of husbandry engaged in agricultural production; or

  2 21 fabric or clothing, and which may not become a
  2 22 component or integral part of the finished product.
  2 23 The distribution to the public of free newspapers or
