So
much for the family farm image of the organic farming movement!
Gunsmoke
Farms will convert 34,000 acres - more than 53 square miles - near Pierre to
organic by 2020, giving it enough space for all the organic wheat needed to
make General Mills' popular Annie's Macaroni & Cheese line.
General
Mills, which is guaranteeing a market for the wheat, is working with Madison,
Wisconsin-based Midwestern BioAg to develop the crop rotation and soil-building
program needed for such a large farm to go organic.
