Analyzing the Sustainability Story of Southern Idaho Wheat Production
The Big Picture: Producers Making a DifferenceWhy measure?Global attention to agriculture’s impact on the environment is turning to each individual's contribution. We live in a resource
constrained world with an increasing population. To meet the future demand for food, we must increase efficient production while
sustaining our natural resources.
Did you Know?
Wheat is utilized in dozens of consumer food products and worth more than $500
million dollars to the Idaho economy.
How are we doing? (Focus areas & progress)• Program is now in it’s fifth year of data collection
• Expansion of rotational crops to include spring wheat, winter wheat, potatoes, sugar beets and barley
• Individual Grower Reports provide relevant feedback to each grower and Grower Workshops
provide guidance for improvements
What have we learned? (Understanding trade-offs & opportunities)
• Baseline datasets need a minimum of three years of data, with 4-5 years of data preferred
• Economics, weather and rotation have major influence on sustainability.
• Other contributing factors include quality attributes, pest pressure and
the yield potential of the field

COMMITMENTSResponsibly Sourcing U.S. Corn
• Partnering with Field to Market and Bunge, our corn grit supplier:
• This was enabled by:– Interested growers because this engagement was part of a
quality initiative– Engaged supplier who was interested in building better and
stronger relationship with growers – Brand pull from the growers: knowing that their corn is going
to food that their family loves
• What is missing? CCAs and ag retailers – Kellogg and Bunge can do more to engage CCAs and local trusted experts

4R Sustainability and the Supply Chain
CCAs are critical:
• Link farmers to downstream supply chain
goals
• Decipher “sustainability”
• Educate supply chain on what works for
environment AND what matters for yields

Telling our Story We have been recommending, implementing, and
perfecting these practices for years.
Producers love the dirt they farm Important for future of agriculture
Farming is the future for multiple generations
VRT technology Soil sampling
Precision spreading/spraying
Cover Crops Soil health-important for sustainability
![Page 60: General Mills Sustainability Connecting the Dots: CCAs ... · − 100 years of phosphate mining history in U.S. − 50 years of potash mining history in Canada Fortune 500 company](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070715/5ed8c2806714ca7f476883f1/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Full program
Soil sampling, Planting, Fertilizing, Spraying, Tissue Testing, Yield Mapping
All practices are important to a complete approach of agriculture
Site Specific Ag
Sampling in Grids or Zones
Allows us to be extremely precise in our practices
Put fertilizer where the ground needs it
Follow Tri-State recommendations
![Page 61: General Mills Sustainability Connecting the Dots: CCAs ... · − 100 years of phosphate mining history in U.S. − 50 years of potash mining history in Canada Fortune 500 company](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070715/5ed8c2806714ca7f476883f1/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Variable Rate Seeding
Use soil test maps or yield maps to build zones
Results in higher yields with less inputs
Variable Rate Nitrogen
Similar to seeding
Allows us to treat varying soils differently
![Page 62: General Mills Sustainability Connecting the Dots: CCAs ... · − 100 years of phosphate mining history in U.S. − 50 years of potash mining history in Canada Fortune 500 company](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070715/5ed8c2806714ca7f476883f1/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
