Here's a question that I've had before, but which came to mind again following a brief exchange of emails with Cate Batson Baril of Rodale. They are working with the USDA "Transition to Organic Partnership Program" (TOPP),/1 and their No-TIll Farm Walk series./2 Unfortunately those programs do not seem to involve any of our focus crops (millets) at this time.
So I wondered if there were any figures on who grows grain proso how? (Organic vs conventional, no-till, etc.) And then logically the same questions for grain sorghum and grain teff.
Anyway, searching online for organic proso production, I didn't come up with any figures. Here, however, is a link to one farm group in eastern Colorado that is organic, and several organic proso consumer products:
