Sent to me by an "off list" friend...LDS canneries will help you pout up dried/dehydrated foodstuffs (wheat, beans etc) in cans (#10 with oxygen absorbers etc) at low cost...I've not tried it myself, but i understand they are very willing to help even "non LDSers". ==================================================

Latest word is that LDS canneries are working at full capacity taking care of their own and that they are not currently open to use by non members, nor may bulk produce be purchased for non members through other normal LDS resources. It will pay to check back on this information periodically as it can change as the situation change
