How to Grow, Thresh, and Mill Your Own Wheat for Bread

  • Have you ever thought about growing your own grain by hand? Well, it’s possible, even for the small scale grower. The industrial revolution just made it easy to forget what the human body is capable of.
    Grain is fun to grow, but it produces a low yield per square foot and requires a significant amount of labour for harvesting. Therefore, if you want to get as much food from your land as possible, grain is definitely NOT the place to start. We are only venturing into grain production, because we’ve got the other fruit and vegetable crops covered, and we’d like to support the industrial food system as little as possible.

      They got quite a lot of wheat - 25 lbs - from their plot.

    Did a little math:

    - this yield over 450sqft means you'd need 15.5sqft per loaf of bread

      Can you imagine if an entire neighborhood got together and one block grow wheat and another block grow vegetables and fruits? That’s just 2 blocks! The sky’s the limit!!

    You can also make your own yeast from a chopped up apple and add 500ml water (not tap water), and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Leave in a jar for a week, stirring once a day and removing the lid to let fresh air in, if the lid pops once you open the lid you know the yeast is growing. After a week, you can remove the Apple, use the yeast which has settled at the bottom of the jar, or you can add flower and sugar to make sourdough (you can also use barley heads in water to make barley yeast and turn that into sourdough) I hope this helps

      You don't really need the apple. Flour, water, maybe a little sugar, a jar and a cloth. Mix ingredients in the jar, cover with the cloth, stir daily. Add a little flour and water every day, and when you see bubbles use.
      Don't use all of it, though. Keep some so you just have to feed the yeast.

      Its best to use the yeast naturally present on the foods you sre using. The yeast on wheat is most likely a yeast that is more optimal in fermenting grains than the yeast on an apple would.
      And even if the above information isnt true, what is true is that yeast is everywhere. You dont need any fruit skins to capture some. A sourdough starter can be made with just flour, water, and time. Nothing more.

    Well done! You are getting 40 bushels/acre, which is good for small-scale production.

Now I live in France and use a flail for my wheat and rye. The chipper/shredders available here have the blade at a 45 degree angle, so it doesn't work as well. Flailing is not onerous.

      ​@@calebfuller4713that's actually not bad! I'm moving to southern europe soon to essentially become a sustenance farmer and I always assumed I'd have to cut my consumption of grains enormously. But assuming 1kg of flour a week I'll only need 52m², which on a plot of a few hectares is nothing at all. That does ignore labor, of course. Do you have any idea what these numbers would be for rice?

      @@EctoMorpheus Similar. The average yield of rice on Japanese rice farms is about 1/2kg per square metre. I know this from personal experience. There are rice-growing areas in Australia that get double that though. The downside of rice is it has a super-hard outer husk that is hard to remove without special equipment.

    I seeded 1/4 of an acre in Michigan back in 2017 and had great success with the yield. ( No fertilizer or chemicals applied ). My husband and his father hand cut the wheat and I bundled them into sheaths to dry in the field. It was probably the most beautiful and spiritual experience .......something very familiar and ancient in the process. We never were able to thresh the entire crop by hand but did manage to thresh about 20 pounds of kernels. The rest was given to our 30+ chickens.

    When I get the grain I vacuum seal it in 500 gm bags and freeze for 48 hours to kill any stray weevil eggs then store the bags in airtight buckets.
    My usual order is 40 pounds hard red winter wheat, 20 pounds of rye and 10 pounds of spelt.

      If it was a situation where you need to grow your own food to survive, you'll get more calories with less work growing potatoes, beans, and squash. In the right climate with the right strain of seed, flour corn is good and easy too. And you can grow the squash and beans in with the corn and get healthier plants, less weeding, and three crops instead of just one.

    I think I remember reading in Robinson Caruso, or some similar very old single person deserted on a desert island story, about how they found a few seeds of wheat from the shipwreck and were able to grow enough wheat the first season to have seed but not make bread and then the second season they had enough to make bread and then it only multiplied in size of the field. It sounded pretty far-fetched but you guys made it look possible.

    • @Green.Country.Agroforestry
      @Green.Country.Agroforestry Год назад +1

      Defoe's adventure novel placed Caruso in the Caribbean, growing zone 11+, and wheat is cultivated down to zone 10b .. with a lot of seed and some luck, he might have managed to get seed for the next year's bread production .. but would almost as likely have lost all of it in a second planting. It is a lot easier to grow a zone or two cooler (with things like cold frames and hoop houses) than a zone or two warmer!
