"Feed" wheat vs "planting" wheat
    #18863069 - 09/19/13 01:23 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I went to go pick up some wheat berries by the pound today at the local feed store and they had 50# of "feed" wheat for $12 or "planting" wheat for $.80/lb.

The kid that was working couldn't tell me the difference between the two so I just grabbed some "planting" wheat by the pound to tide me over.

What exactly is "feed" wheat?  Does it still have the husk on it?  Is it suitable for mycology?

Most grains we work with are "feed" quality. I would imagine it will be better for you than "planting" grains.

Planting is the way to go...i'd assume since it is cleaner, not as much seed from other stuff.  Feed wheat isn't as clean...since it's for livestock feed, You'll have more varieties of seed in it...weeds/grass

:solidnod:

That makes this place 10x better.  I definitely won't be paying $.80/lb anymore.  It's unfortunate this place doesn't carry rye :mad2:.

The "planting" wheat I got looks like a cross between the wheat berries I used to get at the health food store and RGS.  Skinny and long.

No problem man.

I'd imagine you'll want to prep that like RGS :thumbup:

Feed v planting won't affect the "mix" of grains inside. If you buy a bag of wheat, you expect wheat. There may some impurities in it regardless tho :shrug:

Feed grains are easier to prep.

From what I've gathered, planting grains are more like grass seed, which is a pain to prep (and quite dirty).

k thanks, When cutting a field, depending on how much trash (Weeds) is in the harvest is determined on whether its classified as "Feed or planting" Feed will have a lot more weed seeds than Planting in the bag. But when Sterilizing grains it should kill all weed seeds?

i guess it really wouldn't matter too much, if you're not trying to harvest it the following year for Planting.  After all it's not going in the ground eh? Thanks again

If something is 100% sterilized, there is nothing living left.  It doesn't matter if it is seeds from weeds or the wheat/rye/grain you have... It's dead.

What about uniformity of seeds/grains?  Is it on such a minuscule level that it doesn't really effect anything? Just trying to understand all of it better.  Thanks

I really am not sure what you're getting at, could you explain it a little better?

Here is a picture of the "planting" wheat.  It's been over a year since I've done any projects but I don't remember the wheat being this small.



Sorry about the poor quality, my phone is OLD.

I'm going to try a soak/simmer prep, because that is the only way I've done it in the past, and if that doesn't work I'll try a soak/no simmer, or a grain+water straight to PC tek.

Uniformity of seeds, whether it's Millit, Millo, Wheat, Rye etc. It's better to have them uniform?  From what i make of it, Mycellium growes  faster if it's only having to eat one source of food, No time to adjust from one grain to the next, It thrives... I'm still trying to understand it all man, am i even on the same planet. lol
