Wheat

I didn’t get much done yesterday but was at it this morning. I set two more rows of brick on the foundation for the mud oven. I should only need three more rows to be done with that part of it.

As I mentioned yesterday I had a wheat delivery. I decided to bag up the soft wheat this evening. I had purchased some mylar bags and O2 absorbers a while back as I knew this was coming soon. I ended up cutting the bags in half to hold 8 cups per bag. Plenty for our use here. As you can see I ended up with a helper about half way through. I like to go ahead and put the grains in the mylar bags for longer term storage. I only have to buy wheat every few years this way and with a 20+ year shelf life the way I store it, the grains that come out of the last bag are as good as the first. I will get the other bag put up later this week or next weekend.
