WHEAT Documentary: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Wheat

[@sividproductions6591]

I'm a wheat farmer in Australia, and we grow around 20,000 acres (7500 hectares) Our average yield per hectare is around 2 tonnes with only 1 crop per year unlike in the US , where they can grow 2 different crops on the same land in a year. Our all in costs of growing 2/ha , is around $ 500 , meaning that we need 1.5 tonnes to break even, and to cover all the costs of growing it. Some years we have total loss from drought or frost and we need to borrow from the bank to put the next years crop in. This may take 10 years to recover and in some cases it bankrupts the farmer. Extremely high risk when dealing with nature , and the only reward , is that we have a love of the land , to have as our workplace. If we could get just 10 cents more per loaf equivalent, then we could all prosper and make a life for our families. Currently at the moment, we get around 20 cents per loaf equivalent , out of the $3 to $4 dollars retail. (Not fair)

That is terrible to hear, farmers are some of our most valuable people. I really hope this changes.

[@robertreznik9330]

The US southern high plains used to be called the Golden Spread. Now wheat is grazed or chopped for silage. a lot more wheat if we had a better price to match the cost of production.

Real farmers with real problems caused by the industry who knows more than the common person. And because they know what keeps a farmer from prospering , they are the gatekeepers to real healthy growth in community. Ignorant people with misguided information from the industry breaks true growth, because who can stand up against an industry when we are at a SERIOUS lack of knowledge? We truly need to educate America about the negative effects of mass industrial scale farming before the industry totally crushes good farmers through unnecessary regulations.

Hey! Sorry for the random comment about a year later but my partner and his family are also grain farmers and I’m wanting to learn more about the process of sowing > harvesting. Do you have any recommendations on how to learn better? I know they do stubble burning, use knockdown and knockdown no.2, sakura IBS etc but it’s basic knowledge for me.

Before it is time to plant, farmers need to prepare the soil. Some use a machine to plow the soil. However, today most farmers are switching to a method called “no-till.” “No-Till” farming is a way for the farmers to maintain a better soil structure by not plowing the fields. Once the soil is ready, a machine called a grain drill is used to plant the seeds. Wheat is planted at different times depending on a region’s weather conditions. Some farmers grow theirs in the winter while other grow theirs in the fall. Once the soil is ready, a machine called a grain drill is used to plant the seeds. Wheat grows through stages. At first, the wheat is green and can look like grass. Then it grows taller and becomes a golden brown color as it dries. Carbohydrates are important to your health. Your body needs carbs to work properly. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans say that 45% to 65% of your total daily calories should be carbohydrates.

[@CommodityCulture]

Interesting observation and good information on no-till farming. The dietary guidelines for Americans are an absolute joke however.

[@nevinkuser9892]

We actually don't require carbs at all to survive.

Is this a general education video for a junior high school geography class, when we are expecting a vlog about investing in wheat ?????

[@CommodityCulture]

You are exactly right, it's a general education video that has nothing to do with investing.

God used Joseph, an Israelite to bring prosperity into the land of Egypt. Joseph was an Israelite and became the prime minister of Egypt. God told Joseph the dreams and interpretations of what to do with the wheat. If it wasnt for God and Joseph everyone would of died from famine. Story is in the Bible.. Pharaoh also believed Joseph. And Goshen was a place of prosperity for Gods people in Egypt too. The story of Moses was after that :)

[@frederickcampana5717]

You forgot how wheat straw even helped ancients manufacture bricks as said in the bible, forgot that straw is also a animal bedding, straw is being made into fertilizer, straw is being turned into energy by burning, straw as animal feed when shredded, and straw as a burn pellet that is better than wood. Still loved everything you said but a lot got left out.

[@CommodityCulture]

Ancient Egypt wasn’t a completely moneyless society as they had gold rings bigger than our gold bars in their state coffers to pay for national state sponsored projects. The citizens were self sufficient and didn’t lack food or quality accommodations. Every society have its problems eventually.

Can we grow wheat on lowoand? If can not, why ?

[@CommodityCulture]

Good question, I don't have the answer but hopefully someone does

[@dailyamusing235]

In ancient times the wheat would fall off the stem and made it harder to harvest but it was modified to stay on the stalk but I'd like to know how they made that happen.

[@Javo_Non]

Selection, as any other domestication

[@robertreznik9330]

Wheat is now under $6.00/bu new crop 2024. That price signals to me we need to grow less wheat. On the high plains of Texas most of the wheat goes to make silage for beef and dairy industry. I bet if wheat's farm price goes to $0.00, bread would not go down. You said the price of wheat makes for high price per loaf. How can that be if the farm share is 10 cents per loaf.

[@Bailey-k2j]

No such thing as a 'shortage' of anything. But only a 'too many people' problem.

this doesn't show how we've gotten to the modern hybridized wheat that is actually near impossible to digest and is causing a lot of the diss-ease in the world. maybe touch on that in another vid? If you can't in fear of being cancelled I understand.

Wheat is not that high on the US farm for the average wage earner to pay. It is $7.80 per 60 lbs. This is to make 2400 slices. On my farm inflation growing wheat is not that profitable at less than $7.00

[@luislopes806]

There is a race against time to figure out how to make Wheat more climate resistant. Demand for staple crops like wheat is only expected to increase as the climate crisis makes the World's Food System more vulnerable. Wheat makes up 20% of calories in the average diet globally as an important dietary fiber. By 2050, the demand for Wheat is predicted to climb 50% from today's levels, according to the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT). The problem is that wheat can only tolerate about 75°F (24°C), making it one of the more heat-sensitive crops compared to corn and soy beans.

I came here to understand Jesus analogy of wheat in the Book of John Chapter 12 verse 22-24.

[@Pletzmutz]

It's a common misunderstanding that the Neolithic revolution was a brilliant invention where people suddenly understood how to grow crops. Much more likely is that humans were forced to revert to agriculture by climate change and/or pupolation density. Early farmers had much lower life expectancy and probably quality of life than hunter gatherer populations.

[@jillians9847]

If your documentary about wheat starts out by insisting that all of civilization worldwide began with and depended upon wheat, I just shut that off immediately. There have been other high calorie crops. There have been civilizations that didn't grow wheat. If you want to say that wheat was the best or most important, you have to at least acknowledge that there's more to the story than JUST WHEAT, and then make your argument for why you think wheat was more important than other high calorie crops. Frankly, it's just goddamn lazy to pretend that the history of agriculture or the history of civilization is only a history of wheat.

Try to not go deep an ideological route and focus more on easy explanation types of video about comodities! There will not be much a of discussion when talking about wheat as a commodity, but talking about "true" value, or how gold will save us, and stuff like that is dangerously opinion based.
