Grains
McKaskle Family Farms, LLC, owned by Steve and Kaye McKaskle, began organic production in 1992 with organic cotton and produced and processed the fiber until 2006 when a tornado destroyed their on-farm cotton gin. Lacking an organically-certified gin, the family turned to organic rice, wheat, popcorn, and soybeans. By processing organic rice and popcorn in their own facility, the McKaskles hope to not only identify new customers for their products but to also provide jobs in their southeastern Missouri community.
