Great tips, great video!

[SurvivalReport]

Thanks for watching! We just started a Survival and Preparedness message board

Survival and Preparedness DOTCOM

Stop by to learn, discuss and hang out with others of like mind!

Awesome video! In fact, I've watched a few of your videos before this one and I have to tell you that you are doing an amazing job reporting and teaching those of us that are still in the beginning stages. Please keep up the good work and I'll be watching. Thanks so much for taking the time to share! :-)

Great video. Small Scale Grain Raising is back in print. Thanks or all your videos, and the PAW videos as well.

[SurvivalReport]

@chrishatespeople Thanks Chris! I didn't do all the PAW videos, our friend "Bob in Idaho" has done most of them. We continue to work with him on various projects, they are good folks, definitely subscribe to his also!

[whiteydr]

Plastic bat and electric fan leaves you a bit far from the natural exerience. Nice video though.

[SurvivalReport]

@whiteydr The discussion was centering around the most efficient way to do it without a lot of specialized tools. If folks want the "natural experience" then I have to assume they will be grinding grain between two rocks?

[Mofila]

Small Scale Grain Raising had a second edition come out a few months ago. Its a great and book. I would reccomend any book written by Gene Logsdon.

[MIBstudios]

Food for the mind, body and spirit :-)

What's not to like?

THANKS and please post more videos if you have more great information to share with us :-)

[sassylindalou]

I love your videos!! I can't wait to see the rest of your rabbit raising series. I love that ya'll quote scriptures in your videos, as it is only through His grace and mercy that we even exist. Keep up the great work.  God bless.

How easy is Wheat to grow ? Is wheat like beans,or like corn, how efficient is it ?

[RebelRouserMC]

beans,corn,maters n such mostly what ive grownn this year

[andrew6606]

I usually prefer to use a combine...

[mattandpatti222]

like you are going to protect this wheat when hungry people raid you! wake up!

[SurvivalReport]

Your right, someone who has been preparing for over 2 decades probably has not made any defensive preparations. LOL

Get back on the short bus there bud!

[dreamthinker79]

I would only aproach in a dignified manor

[o0sunsi0o]

mattandpatti222, i almost feel sorry for you if you have to ask a question like that, silly wabbits. lol

SurvivalReport, you've inspired me to grow a grain crop I have to admit I never thought to plant it even after setting my tomatoes, radishes and a few other things in my garden. Have you ever used food grade diatomaceous earth to protect grains and other foods from infestation? Also, have you ever making a sour dough starter for making breads?

Great videos keep 'em coming :)

[SurvivalReport]

You shouldn't need DE, check out the video "Long Term food storage" here on youtube. It's one we did in Paw productions.

[copefarms]

if thats all we have and people come to take my wheat you dang sure bet ya I will protect it.

Most sheep wouldnt know what to do with wheat anyway so theres not much to worry about.

[happygalmarried]

One thing to note is, be sure you dont live ANYWHERE near a farm that grows GMO foods as it will crosspolinated, then your screwed!

[darkbrooke]

Where can I get some of those GMO seeds? I love when it crosspolinates.

[joelgodfrey72]

I'm taking notes man, thanks for all of the info. However, where do I find or buy mydral for rice storage?

[SurvivalReport]

Do you mean Mylar? If so check Shop Simpler living with a dot and a com after it. Youtube evidently doesn't like links in comments as I've replied to this twice and it's deleted it.

[ojmoss]

thank you for the video. I have one question on which I've been seeking clarfication: what, if any, is the difference between the entire wheat and wheat berry? when you store wheat are you actually just storing wheat berry? I can't find any place that sells the actual wheat but various places sell wheat berry. any info is much appreciated. thank you.

[SurvivalReport]

The whole wheat kernal is also called a "berry" and you usually see the term used interchangeably. The whole unprocessed wheat seed = "berry" or "kernal" Thanks for watching!

[KillerBunnyBrigade]

Cool video,,, Very educational...

[PennyDropper]

I like the red bat.

[ICPsucksEMrocks]

Please Answer....For the Amount of wheat you got how much did you have to plant? Like 2 pounds of seeds or what?

[SurvivalReport]

This was a small patch of wheat- wasn't acres and acres of it. I planted it VERY thick yet used MOST of it for animal feed- straw and grain together- so it's impossible to say exactly how much we got back. Seems like IIRC the rule of thumb is 1:10 but I don't think we got anything near that!!! I answer all questions, I'm here to help :)

[Jicarilla07]

If you want the best yeild in the smallest amount of space plant 100 X 100 feet square patch. Wheat is pollenated by the wind like corn so too small of a patch will loose too much pollen out side of the growing area. You look like you did farely well for a small patch however (not knowing how large your patch was) We planted wheat for feed from our local feed store and it didn't grow. We now have the correct seed and will be trying again next growing season. Great video.

[blabblab1212]

My pet rabbits have been listening intently to this video and I saw their eyes brighten when he mentioned that he would leave the residual grain included with the straw and hay.

[SurvivalReport]

I'll mail your bunnies some ;)

[Carlstens]

Consider this "Plan B" as opposed to concealed gardening We live in a very small community (<200 pop.) I plan to bring community into the plan share seed difficult walk from other areas hard copy powerpoint presentation for others in my community shared assets. person x knows how to butcher person y can garden z can make a wood gas generator local barter economy institute patrolling "regulars" for security older community has "old hardware" in back of barn. knowledge base diverse.

[SurvivalReport]

Might just work if the community is really that small. Just don't count on all the "sharing." It's very easy for people you don't know like family to SAY they will "share" this or that when THINGS ARE PLENTIFUL. When they are NOT, "sharing" gets a LOT more difficult. I've seen it happen. Every family that is not prepared and fully sold out to your idea WILL be a DETRIMENT to your plan. How will you those that refuse to work?

[SurvivalReport]

Meant to write "How will you handle those that refuse to work?" Sorry for the typo!

[charper3006]

Very informative as always. Excellent.

[SurvivalReport]

Thanks for the nice comments! SR

[izodoz]

I would love to try this!

[KARStarla]

Me too, I want to grow my own rice too since Thailand is going GMO in its rice.

I heard rumor of a new U.S food law about food storage, that if you do you can be criminalized, I dont think they can do that if its of your own grown substance, but with land siezures whose to say who can have land to grow it

[izodoz]

KARStarla: I heard the same rumor... spooky stuff!

[KARStarla]

No kidding, and whats weirder is that CNN is caught promotion what they want to outlaw.

Instead of going after people for buying what was freely available to them and criminalizing them they should just come out and RATION FOODS. We know its been on the agenda but arresting folks who decided to buy food to survive verses ten cars is ridiculous.

Not only THAT but Walmart (as I have already reported to their corporate office) had at least 10 foods EXPIRED and one item was TWO YEARS EXPIRED

[Zarbod]

That looks like a lot of work but I'd like to try it. Thanks.

[steelhorses2004]

doesn't look like a lot of wheat grains in the buckets. is that all you got from that much wheat?

[SurvivalReport]

We were trying to beat the rain that day, we threshed a little less than what was laid out on the blanket. Perhaps a little more than a shock total. You can see the outside part ends abruptly, it started raining on us and we wanted to keep the wheat dry!

[SurvivalReport]

Thank you both!

Yes! A LOT of work for a little bit of grain. There's got to be a better way... :) Of course for six thousand or so years, this is how it was processed.

[6782485]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience

Fascinating!

That is an awful lot of work though for such a small amount of grain! Very labor intensive.

[Josiah531]

Excellent information..... 5 stars
