Oh, Harvest Moon . . . I remember slogging miles to the truck after dark. I had been pheasant hunting and the end of hunting hours found me at the far end of a ranch. Of course. So, my first hunting dog, Cooper, and I trudged back on a 2-track wearily. But Cooper kept stopping and watching something behind us. A bit worried, I turned, and there it was, rising above the prairie, Oh Harvest Moon.
There lies the einkorn. There lies the rye. ... I planned to hand harvest the test plot of einkorn (which grew like a champ) and see if Ryan @farmpowermalt wanted to experiment with malting it. ... It's pheasant food now. That's okay too. Another way to do farm to fork.
Next fresh flour delivery: Monday, 10/14. Also delivering to Livingston. Please order by Thursday, 10/10. Buy Fresh, Bake Often!
The Storm, 1 week later. ... I wondered how the critters at the farm had managed during the snow storm. Apparently fine, despite 2' of wet snow over 3 days, followed by lows in the single digits. Any black chickpeas which escaped the combine are now high-protein food for birds and deer. Our shelter belts provided cover as well as berries, seeds and bugs. Russian Olives are the best. Carrageenan, buffalo berries and silver berries (wolf willow) are very good too. My test plot of einkorn, however, was laid low under snow as was the rye-wheat-buckwheat-flax mix. Once again, diversity is a winner as some conservation plantings will work to benefit wildlife some of the time but not all of the time. ... It was nice to see the benefits after this historic storm.
It's a warm feeling to have those black chickpeas in the bin before the 19" snow and now single digit temperatures. Choteau's farmers were working day and night ahead of the storm to get crops harvested. Then they headed out again to drain irrigation pumps, take care of equipment and livestock. Pretty amazing effort when you think about it.
Will be delivering fresh flour: 9/26 to 9/30 Please order by: 9/23 www.conservationgrains.com Thank you!
