Interesting conversation.
I'm not sure why but I hadn't thought about local mills producing and reusing their own. Probably because we have MFA and to my knowledge everything they have is GMO.
I would very much like to buy non-gmo but the shipping makes it cost prohibitive which brings me back to growing and feeding my own. This takes time though and for now I
have to buy the GMO because that's all I can get. I used to think I was an unusual case since I can't feed yellow corn, wheat, barley or rye due to the gluten issue. I'm finding more and more that I am not yet I've noticed the stores selling feed in our area have not stepped up to the situation either. I would love to go out and buy bags of mixed feed as a supplement for my birds and would do so if the stores carried the feeds I need.
That I know of we do not have local mills any more but I will do some checking around and find out.
