Is this the UK's smallest wheat crop?

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Looks a nice clean crop well done

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

This is amazing, What a man. Well done

[@paulthursfield833]

Awesome! I hope you share my deep appreciation of the farmers who grow this stuff on a commercial basis. We would literally starve without them.

[@joeseels]

Great effort! Not only doing it, but gaining the knowledge too! That pizza is going to taste nice!! 😀😀

[@samread724]

Absolutely brilliant..more people should do this..hats off to the young man

[@DeeplyStill]

Well done. Interesting piece about growing with beans

[@Shane_O]

Brilliant well done….. ! You’re mad but well done! 😀😀😀 Love how you did this and goes to show how much work is involved now and prior to machinery. (I’m (was) a farmer by the way) 👍

[@robertbray3685]

Full marks to Jacob. He has carried out his task in a very professional way, the crop looks clean and healthy. The crop protection chemicals appear to have been skilfully applied with seemingly no complaints from adjacent plot holders. It would be interesting to know the yield from his 100 square metres and scale it up to tons per hectare!

[@jacobsallotment8006]

Hi Robert. The wheat did just over 30kg in total from 97sqm, and the beans did just over 20kg from 270sqm. Suffered lots of losses on the beans through harvesting techniques, and obviously dry weather didn’t help!

[@robertbray3685]

@@jacobsallotment8006 Hi Jacob, Thank you for your yield information. A rough calculation would equate to 3 tonnes per hectare for the wheat and 0.75 tonnes per hectare for the beans. As arithmetic was never my strongest subject I am open to correction!

[@jacobsallotment8006]

@@robertbray3685 hi Robert. Yes I think you’re correct. Fairly low yields in comparison to the farmer, but plenty for my use. I’m keen to Increase this however, so this autumn I’m going to be working on establishing a higher plant count per sqm, and hopefully his should increase yeild!

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

This is silly in the best way. Props to Jacob for this. I intend to pull a similar stunt where I am here in Canada with both cereal rye and maize. The maize has already been planted, although it's too early - the variety I've chosen is supposèd to be tolerant to the freezes we get here until June, but I'm not holding my breath. I have not obtained the rye seed yet, and in any case it would be "bin-run" rather than a real variety (I am primarily going to be buying the grain for bread making; the seeding as a crop is secondary). I will also reap it using a scythe, which I bought for mowing my lawn before deciding I don't want a lawn at all.

[@jascollinscork]

Wow FairPlay to this young chap 👏🏻👏🏻 looks like he’ll get a good yeild!! F.W. Should follow this guy and see how that pizza making process turns out for him!! I also see some maize/corn in the background!!

[@philipgraham6980]

I want to see the finished pizza

[@LocalmotionSpain]

Great job 👍

[@jacko8371]

Hi Very inspiring video and I would like to try out myself this Autumn. Can you please tell me the details of the Wheat type when to plant, row spacing, seed spacing, depth of seed etc. Can you sow direct into cut grass land?

[@jacobsallotment8006]

Wheat variety was Crusoe. Drilling is from now until end of October ideally. Depth around 3cm. (farmers may advise differently). Row spacing, mine was around a foots width so I could walk between. This year I've gone slightly closer. I've drilled direct this year after spraying off with Roundup.

[@Ganyersel]

Well done. It takes as much emotional investment and planning to grow 100m2 as it does to grow 100ha.

[@joethomas4935]

You have to show him making the pizza now...

[@paddydoyle4234]

Not the smallest plot, I grow wheat and other cereals on my allotment, beds are 84 squares meters and I do a 4 crop rotation.

[@harvest585]

Good job

[@andrewhoughton-py1hq]

Sod the pizza and make a pigeon pie

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

Pigeon pizza, even! Wonder how he'll feed the cows for the cheese, or will he use a substitute?

[@robertallen3441]

Wot', no tramlines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jacobsallotment8006]

Haha don’t worry. I’m hoping to grow the wheat on my bigger plot this autumn and I’ll need tramlines in that! Although, more space for the pigeons to land!

@@jacobsallotment8006 you could bind it into sheaves by hand like a binder and see if anyone local has a old threshing machine they want to have a go with

[@alanreid3063]

@@arwelagrimachinery He could have used a scythe which would have put it in semi rows tied it into sheafs and if lack of old threshing machine just thrown it at a passing combine
