Amazing how humans initially figured this out. Like “OK, we have wheat, now what?” and they figured out bread. A HUGE leap in our culture came from food. Agriculture is very advanced. Huge mills were made because we needed to grind up the wheat.
So, I think this video is really cool as it gives an idea of that process and what could be done. It’s really kind of amazing when you think about it. Very nice!
Home grown is nice , that’s a lot of space taken up for wheat so I’m wondering exactly how much you got from all that , I know for my fruit tress and bushes that I get a very significant chunk of return from the space they take up
My dad worked on his uncles wheat farm from like 10 until a few years after college. I will definitely send him this; he loves wheat and wheat related things. He likes talking about wheat and watches videos of combines and harvests.
He is in his 60’s now but I would love to some how get him back out to a farm so he can relive some of those experiences.
This reminds me of the guy who decided to make a simple sandwich 100% from scratch. Grew/raised all the raw materials himself that would eventually go into the sandwich. I think it took him something like 3-5 years to make that sandwich.
Also fun fact: a guy did this eighty years ago and was single-handedly responsible for the greatest expansion in the federal power of the US government in American history. True story.
Roscoe Filburn was growing wheat on his own property for his own consumption. There was a wheat tax at the time, which he didn’t pay. The Supreme Court said that by growing his own wheat, he was affecting the market for wheat and engaging in interstate commerce, because if he hadn’t grown it, he would have bought it from someone else, which would incur a tax. Therefore, they concluded he owed the tax as well. As a result, the US government gained the ability to control just about anything that affects interstate commerce.
Congrats. It’s beautiful.
Nice. How much flour do you figure that garden produced?
Good content.
I read “Last year, I grew beard.” Was expecting a majestic beard at the end, got bread. Mildly disappointed. Tasty looking bread though.

That was cool. Thanks for sharing
Bread
I threshed and winnowed some rye I grew by hand. 2/10, do not recommend after 1715.
The second I saw that drill/bucket situation, I out loud said “I am so fucking stupid” on a work call. I just want you to know that.

So, uh, thanks for giving us the New Deal, op. And also the war on drugs.
MY favorite video like this is the one where the guy spends six months making all parts of a sandwich from scratch. Definitely watch will the end.

That must’ve been the most delicious bread you had in your life!
Some of us had a really different Covid lockdown experience than others.
You’re a regular little red hen.
Bread doesn’t grow from plants, it comes from the supermarket.
Holy shit i LOVE how you did the video. Very primitive technology vibe, none of the annoying usual bells/whistles of youtube stuff.

Thought this was going to be a video of someone pulling a loaf of bread out of the ground. Glad it wasn’t.
Does it taste much better than wheat you buy at the store?
You really separated the wheat from the chaff. Good job.
Okay
Pfft. I can put 3 wheat in a crafting table and get the same thing!
Seriously though, beautiful process
Yesterday, I bought a loaf of bread for $1.67. It was bit less labor intensive.
I [did the same] (https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyfoodporn/comments/988cgu/i_found_a_single_ear_of_wheat_growing_in_my/) a while back.
This guy really separates the wheat from the chaff.
