General Mills announced a new deal with Organic Valley Wednesday that will help about 20 dairy farms add 3,000 acres to organic dairy production throughout the next three years.
The program with Wisconsin-based Organic Valley will drive more acres in the U. into the organic certification process and builds upon General Mills’ commitment to double the organic acreage from which it sources ingredients by 2019. The partnership will support increased production for the company’s yogurt business that includes brands such as Yoplait, Annie's, Liberté and Mountain High.
