Inspecting the wheat. At one time, every community in the country produced its own grain. Hi.   Im Richard Knapp, the creator of Central Missouri Grains for Food. See http www. In 2. I built a wood fired brick oven at my home. The facebook group Brick Oven Baking has some pics of the process. I prefer to bake with whole grains. All the breads I make are naturally leavened, as well. So, for me, it was a short leap from making healthy bread to wanting to use local wheat in that bread. In addition, I heard at a food security meeting In Jefferson City, that Missouri grows only 2 3 of its food. A local woman Margot Mc. Millen of the Missouri Grain Project has been working on food grains in central Missouri for years but was not able to grow bread wheat here at a commercially workable rate of yield, though she had some luck with soft wheat. I did some research and found that the U of MO Cooperative Extension has grown hard red winter wheat successfully in several locations around the state and they do this experiment with different varieties every few years. The Extension does not grow organically, though, and that is what I am interested in learning about. So I thought I would have to try it myself and get the information first hand. My idea was to approach an organic farmer I know, Paul Lehmann, and ask him to grow 2 acres of wheat, 1 of rye and 1 of barley for which I would pay him for up front so there was no risk for him. When I asked him about the 4 acres he said How about 3. I suddenly found myself in the grain business on a much larger scale than the little experiment I had originally planned. Anticipating a yield much larger than I could use myself, I began to think of how I could sell it and, at some point, it occurred to me that flour would be much easier to sell than wheat berries so I started looking into purchasing a mill and some land to build a mill and warehouse building on. This later became the barn documented herein. For wheat the single most important factor in determining yield is an early planting date but we were not ready in time for this. Tractors were not running well or at all and Paul has a walnut business that demanded his attention just when we should be preparing the field, and planting. So I went out to his place in Howard County often and worked on the tractors. Eventually Paul and I drove out to an organic farm he knows of through his role as an organic farm inspector. This farm is in north central Kansas. We loaded up my pickup and his trailer with 3 tons of seed wheat in 5. Missouri.   We got 5. Found a place to park the trailer and finished the drive in the pick up at mid night. The next day I drove on to Margot Mc. Millens and dropped off the wheat I had purchased for her then went on to Larry Schrocks an organic seed cleaner in Middletown to pick up the barley and rye seed. All in all 2 days and over 1. I cant remember if there was any more work on the tractors but soon I was discing the 3. Moon Project Patch 2.1' title='Moon Project Patch 2.1' />Paul planted the grain about Nov 1. It came up before the ground froze so we were optimistic until this spring when it showed yellow indicating a lack of nitrogen. Im hoping it will outgrow this problem. Update it does seem to be overcoming this problem. The Rye is doing really well. Not so the barley. Bachelor Farmers Paul and RichardA History of Wheat. History and Origin of Wheat Wheat is grown on more land area worldwide than any other crop and is a close third to rice and corn in total world production. Wheat is well adapted to harsh environments and is mostly grown on wind swept areas that are too dry and too cold for the more tropically inclined rice and corn, which do best at intermediate temperature levels. Wheat is believed to have originated in southwestern Asia. Some of the earliest remains of the crop have been found in Syria, Jordan, and Turkey. Primitive relatives of present day wheat have been discovered in some of the oldest excavations of the world in eastern Iraq, which date back 9,0. Other archeological findings show that bread wheat was grown in the Nile Valley about 5,0. B. C. as well as in India, China, and even England at about the same time. Wheat was first grown in the United States in 1. Massachusetts coast. Man has depended upon the wheat plant for himself and his beasts for thousands of years. A global wheat failure would be a disaster that few nations could survive for even one year. Although the socalled bread wheats are common to most of us, there are many uncertainly related species that make up the genus Triticum. This likely was due to a number of natural crossings with wild species during its early evolution. Some of the species closely related to our common wheats would be einkorn, emmer, durum, and spelt. Predominant Growing Areas for Wheat The United States grew just over 6. The top states in acreage grown are Kansas, North Dakota, Montana, Oklahoma, and Washington. Other leading producers are Texas, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota. About 7. 0 percent of the wheat planted in the United States is winter wheat fall seeded. Of the remaining wheat acreage, 2. Although five major classes of wheat are grown in the United States, the two major wheats are hardred spring and hardred winter, and both are bread wheats. A bushel of wheat weighs 6. Info taken from http www. The new old combine requires some adjustments. Paul and neighbor Bill Sulltrop puzzle it out. This just before the harvest at Pauls place began July 2, 2. It started raining just as I got to the farm Sunday afternoon July 3 and rained all day. Paul made two passes around the field with the combine yesterday. There is much 5. I am looking for a seed cleaner machine and friend Orley says there is one for sale just down the road from me but the guy is in Kansas. Karva Chauth Calendar. Not sure what the rain will do to us besides give us a day off. I spoke to Wendel the guy who owns the seed cleaner last night Jul 3 at length. Another deep repository of agricultural knowledge. Turns out he knows the Allis Chalmers combine and has suggested a fix for the grass seed problem. Small world. The harvest was meager. Php Auction Script. Three bushels of rye less than the amount of seed we planted and about 6. Paul used some of his to plant 1. Once again, it was November before this got in the ground but the ground was better prepared plowed and disced so maybe it will do better this time. I sold mine to Charlie Davis, an organic farmer near Paris, MO. He used it for seed along with another 3. Kansas that grew the seed I originally bought last year. On August 9, 2. I closed on 5. Missouri River bottom land. This land is located on a gravel road Coats Lane in Boone County. Close enough to Columbia to make a trip to any of the three farmers markets pretty easy. The soil is all silt. Not a rock anywhere to be found. I might call it Easy Digging Farm but I dont want to give folks the wrong idea. It hasnt been all that easy so far.

There are two guys on the west side. On the northwest, he offered me the use of about 1. On the southwest, he had a small tractor which he has let go but also many implements that I can use. So, Ive disced the north neighbors field with the south neighbors disc.
