This post it to let everyone know that I reworked the Ardent Mills entries because one of our members noted that some of the Ardent Mills links no longer worked. Given that the opening post in this thread has around 425 links, it is inevitable that some of links are bound to become inoperative or possibly upgraded or updated by the millers. There are 145 flour millers listed in the opening post, and they come from 17 different countries, so change is inevitable. It is likely that some of the millers have gone bankrupt or otherwise ceased to operate, or were acquired or merged with other companies. When that happens, their websites will almost always reflect those changes. I will also often go to the Wayback Machine to see what, if any, information was archived there and should be retained.
My practice when discovering links that no longer work is to try to find replacements, usually by going back to the original websites to see if the companies still exist and are still producing flours for sale. The Ardent Mills situation is more complicated than most because it has operations in both Canada and the U.S., and they acquired several different companies over the years that produce flours. In making changes to the Ardent Mills entries, I tried to retain some of the information about the companies that were acquired by Ardent Mills in case members are still using flours from such companies. However, from what I have seen, it appears that Ardent Mills' current focus in its advertising and marketing is on its Canadian and U.S. websites. And, for now, all of the Ardent Mills links work.
