For those interested in my small grain growing scheme, I have purchased two wheat varieties: Kamut and Einkorn. Both are ancient strains and reputed to be tolerable to those with gluten sensitivities. I have also purchase a quantity of two row barley for food, feed and brewing purposes. Also, today, I scrounged a heavy duty worm gear from a trashed gear box. This may prove handy as an adjustment control for building a thresher. I'm getting a clearer vision of what I think it should be like but I haven't committed anything to paper and worked out any of the engineering bugs yet.

I will keep y'all posted on the small-scale grain raising project. Maybe if I get over being lazy I'll figure out how to post pictures when things get going. For those interested in doing similar things, Gene Logsdon’s book ‘Small-Scale Grain Raising’ is a good place to get the fever.

I have talked to you before about this and have decided to try this myself. I have the room for it.

Is this wheat I can plant this spring to harvest this fall?

I have selected 8 possible grains to order and will have to narrow that down a bit before I order.
