General Mills announced a deal that will create South Dakota's largest organic crop farm as the food giant works to secure enough organic ingredients to meet consumer demand.
Gunsmoke Farms will convert 34,000 acres west of Pierre to organic by 2020 and will produce organic wheat for General Mills' Annie's Macaroni & Cheese line.
General Mills is partnering with Madison, Wisconsin-based Midwestern BioAg to develop the crop rotation and soil-building program needed for such a large farm to go organic.
