Wheat Farmers To Benefit From Ardent Mills' Organic Acreage Initiative

Banking on continuing strong demand for organic wheat-based products, food ingredient company Ardent Mills has launched an initiative to help wheat farmers double their organic acreage within three years while providing them a “robust supply chain.” Demand for organic wheat flour is growing not only among consumers, but also among restaurants and food companies. Ardent calls this a “significant opportunity for growers” to take advantage of an emerging market and add value to their wheat production by becoming organically certified. Ardent has been selling organic wheat flour since 1996.
