That's what BYC is for. Happy to have been able to provide a little help.

Probably, I've been lazy and haven't much looked. I saw a more recent link maybe 6 months back with another group urging the FDA to get rid of synthetic Met I could probably find if I looked again, but USDA basically ignored them, there was no policy paper in response.

You may have options across the border, too - most of mine require driving north into AL, but I think you have another option west of you.

I know Cantonment, have driven thru once or twice - and no, i don't mean the stretch of I10 that's one of Cantonment's borders. You should have Little Eden Farm nearby (Pace) - elderly lady raises bunnies, pigs, various fowl. Her rabbits are really exceptional, I can definitely recommend...

Minerals - calcium, salt, etc are excluded from the Organic/Not Organic distinction, by definition. Making one's own feed is ALMOST ALWAYS a mistake, for a long, long, long list of reasons. And because there are no spectacular methionine sources in the plant world, a person who chose to make...

Dumor is a house brand. It uses a "recipe" (not to be thought of like a baking recipe - because its not 10# of this, 10# of that, but rather a formulation intended to achieve a specific output within an acceptable range from a specified set of ingredients whose by weight inclusion may vary from...

Yes, @Burnlem, I have a few thoughts on Soy. Not retyping everything, just linking one of the many discussions. That one has both pro-soy and anti-soy adherents, so enjoy the back and forth - should offer a more nuanced view. As regards chicken feed, I'm pro soy. As regards human consumption...

that answer depends entirely on your reasons for being non Soy and non GMO in the first place. Let us know, and we can offer intelligent responses to your inquiry.
