Since Hurricane Maria’s destructive forces hit Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017, Denver-based Ardent Mills’ sister company, Molinos de Puerto Rico, maintained milling operations for all but about four days.
Ardent Mills has announced that John Barton has been appointed chief financial officer for Ardent Mills and will serve as a member of the senior leadership team.
Since being the first in the industry to announce efforts to help U.S. wheat growers double organic wheat acres last December, Ardent Mills has expanded its producer program to a total of seven U.S. states and a Canadian province while adding more organic-certified milling and packaging locations along with storage facilities.
