La...Thank you for this info and BTW love your blog. Last season we harvested an nice crop of Spring(soft white)Wheat from a "pancake plot". We improvised, and used a weed wacker to harvest the wheat. We then bundled it into shocks and let cure. We then laid the shocks in a tarp( folding the tarp over the shocks) and beat with brooms and leaf rakes, to separate the wheat from the head and stem. It was labor intensive but OH my,it was well worth our every effort! Some of the wheat reseeded itself, so we left it to grow as a green manure to be tilled in this season. <br /><br />We, this season, have millet and barley growing. Maybe we'll afford the needed equipment for our fall harvest, otherwise weed wacker here we come *wink*<br /><br />Blessings from,<br />The Never Done FarmKelle at The Never Done Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089557752054842197noreply@blogger.com
