More and more Americans are seeking out locally grown foods yet one of the real stumbling blocks to their efforts has been finding local sources for grains which are grown mainly on large distant corporate farms. At the same time commodity prices for grains and the products made from them have skyrocketed due to rising energy costs and increased demand.
