The threshing certainly would be time-consuming, not to mention the grinding into flour.<br /><br />In North Carolina, there's a project to encouraging growing organic wheat for local bakers, which underscores how decentralized our wheat-growing has become in the US.<br /><br />And, lucky for Commonweeder, that you're in a local-food oriented market.

And would also need more than the space you say if it was part of an organic rotation.<br />But thought provoking too.<br />RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237472076391330187noreply@blogger.com
