Dry Storage's Milling Mission Goes Far Beyond Colorado

The farm planted fifty acres that first year. "We weren't going to have a company unless the grain grew," Whitaker remembers. "I didn't even incorporate [Dry Storage] until after Sarah called me and said, 'We're going to have a harvest.'"

Great read and a current update on ongoing work on at least one chunk of the Grain Chain here in Colorado being built out by Kelly Whitaker and Dry Storage.

We actually had a chance to chat with Sarah Jones the other day and the conversation was very inspiring. Being able to connect with local farmers (four hours away is still local in the Grain Chain 😉) and hear their perspectives on the realities of growing a Grain Chain when there is limited infrastructure is very eye-opening in terms of the amount of work to be done.
