General Mills Backing Soil Health Partnership

The Soil Health Partnership announced Thursday General Mills has agreed to back the partnerships sustainability efforts. The Soil Health Partnership started as an initiative by the National Corn Growers Association to help farmers achieve better soil health. General Mills chief sustainability officer Jerry Lynch said: “We are grateful to partner with farmers in our supply chain in their ongoing work to build healthy soils, and welcome further collaboration with all interested parties in the value chain." Nick Goeser (Gay’-zer), NCGA director of soil health and sustainability, says the commitment by General Mills will allow the partnership to expand to new geographies in and out of the Upper Midwest, where efforts have been focused so far. General Mills joins a list of supporters that includes Monsanto, the Walton Family Foundation, the Midwest Row Crop Collaborative and the Natural Resources Conservation Service
