In Reply to: "Rural Kansas is dying. I drove 1,800 miles to find out why." posted by vacuous on October 22, 2021 at 14:38:07:
Heartland Mill, in tiny Marienthal, KS, is one business that has adapted business strategies that enable it to survive by selling its grain products to the nation with some help from the internet for orders and UPS for shipping bulk quantities.
The local farmers were faced with declining commodity prices and eventual foreclosure when some decided to attempt growing high quality, organic wheat. It took some time but they kept plugging away and became known as a reliable supplier of the heritage wheat strain named Turkey Red. That's the strain that the Mennonites were said to have carried seeds in their luggage when they emigrated from the Crimea and started the laborious practice of dry land farming. Artisan bakeries and home baking enthusiasts alike appreciate their efforts.
