the beginning of the end.

[NorthernRaider]

Trouble is though TH is say I harvest this " wheat" from the field at the end of the road, how do identify what type of wheat it is simply from viewing it, there's multiple types of wheat with different planting requirements and planting times, and I call it wheat cos its got an ear of seed at its top. I have to be honest it could be maize, barley or god knows what.

AND we must also consider ( so I'm told) that many strains of wheat used on commercial farms are " Sterile" by design and wont take seed again next year , Something to do with big companies like Monsanto protecting their investments in specialit modern grain, they make it sterile to stop other people planting their grain instead of being forced to buy it every year.

And that as I pointed out is only one shortcoming of my own plans. My own preps will ( hopefully) sustain me for near as dammit 2 years, after that its foraging and hunting for me.
