I think in my Area (central east of florida) I have seen them sold as "Winter Wheat Berries" I have seen another variety called "Red Winter Wheat Berries". Organic at $1.18 a pound. Not bad, but probably not as cost effective as Bird seed. But then the argument of "Better" Ensues...
Wouldn't your product benefit from being certified organic? Ranging from flavor, quality of grain, consistency in: grain texture, max moisture content, cooking time, colonization. Also being an actual human food edible grain does hurt either. You just don't find any good birdseed salad recipes!
Any way, that to me makes a good argument why Rye Berries are better choice.

If you're paying that much, then you might as well use rye. The alternatives I mentioned can be had at $5-20 per 50 lb bag depending on location and grain.

$70 for 100 quart jars of rye substrate sound slike a good deal to me. Especially since it can colonize so fast and you have a perfect tutorial on how to do it with RR tek.

I just bought a 5 dollars 25lb bag of Wild Bird seed and I Prepared 24 Jars with it. I figure I might as well try the bird seed while I wait for the Rye to come in.

Good job, now that's a better price
I was thinking about what Mycowlogist said>

I chose organic rye berries because they were food grade and because I was told that feed grade rye possibly was sprayed with fungicides and other things to keep it from going bad while stored. The fungicides obviously would not be a good thing. But this all set me up to think that I should be careful about what I use as spawn and as a substrate (re.toxins). I don't think it needs to be human food quality, I don't eat wood much or any poo that I know of for that mater or know of any good recipes either. But I do think it important to consider the materials used and what they might contain.

Now at that price I would have to rethink things a bit. $0.34@lb vs. $1.00@lb. I think a trip to the feed store is in order, to do a bit of investigating. Thanks

Milo, millet and WBS all work well. I dont use rye most of the time these days, unless I'll shoot spores into the jars. Then I use 50/50 rye/WBS. I use a WBS as I said from a grocery store, its a bit more money, but its very good quality, no corn, about 10% sunflower seeds, and no dust. Look around and try some, youll find some that will work fine for you.
