Growing and using wheat at home

A 200+ day journey growing wheat at home, and then making flour and bread.

[@MrFlackle]

@@tylerwinkle323 Simple answer is that they didn't. Wheat was often treated in many societies as a luxury product compared to more hearty cereal crops such as rye and barley. Modern technology and farming methods make growing wheat as a staple food much more practical for people with modest means.

Loool was going to say he is a man of many words.

[@Youchubeswindon]

To improve your wheat (or other cereal) fruit collection rates, speed, and general cleanliness of process it maybe worth looking at different options. Bucket threshers, that use a chain and a drill to thresh larger amounts at one time, maybe adding a mesh and an air blower in the bottom, for seed to drop down through, and for chaff to raise up initially in a grass collector style mesh, like a pre-winnow. Winnowing with something like reel seeds open source seed sorter, allows adjustment for different seed types and weights, with quick reprocessing, and no loss of seed by it ‘sliding’ off the side of your winnow basket. Should be able to increase your volume per hour, your capture percentage and reduce mess generation, for only a little cost, and some fore-thought in planning.

[@MrCougar214]

Doing it yourself at home takes a LOT of work. The only reason wheat/wheat bread/wheat products are so cheap today is this whole process is mechanized and automated to do all the labor for them. But you would be a fool to NOT learn how to do this at home. One day life as we know it will come to an end and if no one knows how to do this stuff anymore, well, we're all dead....

Why do you feel spoiled? The privileged one in the situation would not be you. In order to do something of this scale you need land or a backyard which most people do not have access to. In this day and age being able to grow and harvest your own crops (in the setting of the video) is a privilege that many urban people do not have. It is not a privilege to have to rely on industry for our food, because what happens when the chains of distribution get broken or other things? You have no food. Not only do you need access to space to plant but you need the knowledge that goes along with it. Thankfully thanks to the internet learning how to do this type of thing is easier but there are still many reasons why this would be considered a privilege.

Very nice presentation. I grew wheat (hard red winter wheat) for the first time this year. Somewhat better results overall, but I'm sure there's lots of variation. I planted about two pounds of seed on 577 square feet (my wheat plot is a trapezoid, not a rectangle, hence the unusual square footage) and harvested 54 pounds of wheat after threshing and winnowing. Most of the hard work is in that part! I still have buckwheat, field corn, and grain sorghum to go this year! I learned a lot from the wheat experience, and I suspect that it would be at least possible for a gardener armed with a good knowledge of the crop (and chemical fertilizers and fungicides!) to get the equivalent of 100bu/ac in yield.

[@savannahrei8674]

Great video

[@gogogardener]

Video was very informative. Very concise. I appreciated the data: space used, seed weight planted, timeline, and results in weight and loaves. If you add salt to flour, loaf may rise better for you. Salt does not feed or activate yeast; but keeps it in check. Sugar, flour, carbs are what feeds yeast.

[@tissuepaper9962]

Sj Smith He added salt to his yeast before activating it.

[@gogogardener]

TissuePaper. Yes. Adding it then is slowing yeast life. Better to mix salt in with dry ingredients to get a better rise. But, there's lots of different ways to do things.

[@lightdark00]

Salt is unneeded, a second rise after more working would be better. Then tamp down, roll it up and proof before baking. More time rising means more yeast, more flavor, more gluten structure developed. Ideally have a refrigerated rise as one of the rises. 12-24 hour refrigerated rise followed by a 6-8 hour rising might be marvelous.

Tissue Paper, I am pretty sure that was *sugar* he added to the yeast to *proof* the yeast. Yeast *must* have *sugar* . I too was wondering *why* he did not add *salt* to the bread!

My grandparents worked as farm hands for many years before they got land of their own. My grandmother told me the old way of separating grain from chaff was to either use a blanket or a very large bowl and toss it lightly. Do it with a bit of wind, and the chaff blows off.

Perfect. I planted some white Sonoran with my 6th grade gardening class, but since I’d never done it myself was pretty vague on the actual process. This answered all my questions! I’ll show them this video since they won’t be able to do the whole process in a single semester. Thanks!

[@butteredcorn7937]

Now I see it! Every one of those wheat berries is precious. And so are you msbruness and so is everyone who watched this video (thumbs down crew included). And so is everyone who breathed the air that was made abundant for them on this day. And to each and every one of us I say...greatness is coming!

Greeting from Texas. New friend here. Great seeing your informative video. We are a family of 5 who loves to travel and spend time together.

What is amazing is how combines cut down this process so heavily. A 35,000 lbs or 15 ton machine goes into the field and all in one go, cuts, threshes, sifts (or winnow) and collects (stores) the berries. Love it! Then you get reminded through videos like this, that it is absolutely humanly possible to grow and process enough for your own consumption. I am fortunate enough to have a combine and just need to get seed cleaned or clean it myself in small quantities. If you ever have fresh bread from non GMO wheat, you will NEVER buy store baked crap again. It's absolutely not the same thing. Processed flour/baked goods are a lot closer to newspaper than actual food.

Wow, 4 years and KZbin FINALLY recommends this. Now I can finally make bread in quarantine!

I love this video! No nonsensical dialog. The data break down at the end is icing on the cake. I might have to integrate this as another hobby...

[@mfs5119]

I applaud KZbin algorithm for this recommendation

[@Starlightv74]

Love it! Makes you realise how much we take for granted though, doesn't it? Would be interested to know roughly how many cups of flour you were able to get from that little crop.

[@msbrunell]

I got 41 cups of flour from 1 lb of seed planted.

10:52 "You will never get all of the grains." I take this as a challenge.

[@chrisp7530]

Heh I kind of thought that too but then for thinking, maybe the smart thing to do is to stop at some point then just plant them next growing season. They don't need to be super clean wheat berries with no extra stuff in it... Right? That's what I would do.

[@TMcGee123]

At Geeko Farm we find that rose bush trimmings are pretty good at deterring cats from digging.

This dude had a tiny area of yard and made bread, any amount of land whether yard or acreage can produce food, thus making you a farmer

[@tammymann6292]

Thanks for this! We have grown a small plot of wheat the last couple of years but have not threshed much of it yet. I like the idea of just pulling off the heads instead of trying to beat the whole stalk. I would have figured the food processor would damage the berries but obviously it didn't. Definitely going to try this!
