- In which JF and JB scale up their efforts to harvest wild rye from a vacant lot with sickles and scythes. Also some thoughts on the ancient/biblical practice of gleaning.

Amazing how you brought out about the gleaning, always been a favourite article from the mosaic law. Good food for thought. Love the videos guys
I suppose the modern equivalent would be dumpster diving, which I support when done in an ethical and safe way. JF
in terms of ergot: it is quite easy to spot in the grain, looks like normal grain, maybe a bit larger, but usually completely black
Or bright purple.
OR you just start tripping face
What does the presence of ergot do in your grains when you eat it?
I know it's the main ingredient for Ls but I thought you had to derive it in a way

You start hallucinating, but the chemicals also cause severe vasoconstriction. So the blood vessels in your hands and feet choke off, and they get gangrene and fall off if not treated with vasodilators.
I'm really looking forward to seeing (presumably) the threshing, winnowing, grinding and baking of this grain. Here's hoping the family members you test it out on appreciate the results!
We're on it! I'm looking forward to tasting the results myself! JB
How the hell do you become 'one with the wheat' in the middle of a wild rye field...?!😂😜
Did you not watch the end of the video?
It’s in the wheat family
I am going to attempt to grow a small scale wheat crop
Now for the real challenge. Threshing all that.
I've used the bucket and drill method with success for a few years.
That is the plan. Though I have a couple other ideas I'd like to try out for threshing it as well. JB
@@GoodandBasic Or... hey kids jump on this for a bit, trick them into working for you.
It's cool that the Western States have wild food in the form of grain, here in the South, we have more pecan trees than stalks of rye.
Your just not seeing all the wild oats and wheat
5:13 kinda perfect, he’s talking about how grain gets wasted and you can’t harvest all of it, and he has a grain head in his beard lol.
Life imitates art. JF
I love that such a cool channel are Christians
make a video telling us how to identify the rye and other foods we can find in the "wild" like this
HE QUOTED THE DOC!!! INSTANT LIKE
It would take weeks to harvest the whole field by hand. Also, please bend at your knees Joe, not your back.
Wouldn't want you to hurt your back. Sciatica is excruciatingly painful.
He might benefit from a longer snaith as well.
Yes soooo biblical, very good statement on God and what he wanted for us!!! ❤ No gleaning your own fields!
Where is the video on isolating Lysergic acid Diethelamide from road rye? 😂
This is really good stuff. I love it! Now a couple things come to mind.. First off, we get to see the rest of the process of making it into bread (presumably). Secondly, some land owners lease their land out to farmers to grow hay, wheat, or other crops on their otherwise fallow fields for harvest and sale. I don’t know anything about wild rye, but my suspicion is this isn’t the case. However I thought it worth mentioning.. And lastly herbicides. Any risk of spraying for noxious weeds? Besides the glaring thistle in some of your shots, the field looks pretty weed free. Maybe it’s worth discussing in your next video of the series. It would also allow for the opportunity to discuss how glyphosate is used as a desiccant. Cheers guys!
Would there be some efficiency improvement of only harvesting the seed heads instead of the entire stock? Those looked big enough to collect in the same way I'd go after blueberries.
They're way harder to pull off, though, so you'd have to go with a knife and cut each head off individually... That would take weeks, I suspect...
Then you still need to cut the stock as you want the next crop to grow.
The grain is also harder to harvest without the stalk
We've got extraordinary amount of ergot in our fields this year, was thinking about harvesting that(well... personal collection...).
Looks like it's pretty dangerous stuff though..
Ilusys Systems hehehe
Gonna take a lot of complicated processing, but if you know what you're doing 😉
what is ergot. Never yeard of that before.
@@simontay4851 It's a toxic parasitic mushroom that killed a lot of people by slow horrible and painful death.
But it also contains some interesting stuff
Here in northwest Alaska, we have tons of wild rye!!!!
Quick practical question- which tool do you prefer for harvesting? Pros and cons of each?
i feel like a swa mt timpanogas in the background you near sartago springs or lehi???
"Cars are really inefficient at floating"
I think something was growing on that rye...
5:04
When someone with a beard is talking serious stuff. But there is something in their beard, so it throws you off a bit.
But hey!
It's a little thing of rye, so that's cool
Looking forward to what you are going to do with that grain
Where do you find all the rye near me I can't find nothing
do you guys have any worries about the road being so close there and the potential effects of exhaust on the rye? all the wild foraging resources i've read have big warnings on that
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing... Maybe you can wash off some of it, as opposed to berries and fruits where it can soak into it more easily?
Malt the rye. And brew beer with it. Don't know how a 100% percent rye beer would taste though.
Rye beer is different, but pretty good
Please turn the music down and your voice up.
Is that on Sandlewood Drive in Lehi?
Ugh, Jordain C. Beaterson
I've found some wild grass that *looks* like rye here in Cedar City, UT but the heads aren't quite as extensive as the plants you are harvesting here, How do I know if it is the right stuff?
I'm in Cedar...your comment was a couple of years ago but this year (2022) is a big one for rye! If it looks at all similar to what you see in the video, that's probably it. Similar grasses here would be crested wheatgrass (more squared-off heads) or hare barley (shorter).
You’re gonna leave me hanging?
Why aren't you mowing with the scythe more? It seems easier on the back.
I would just use a string trimmer
Check out the video we did comparing sickles, scythes, and string trimmers. JB
Free bread 😩
Loved the video but I wish I could understand what you were both saying whenever the music was playing... I have Auditory Processing Disorder and can't separate the speech from the music if it's too loud or if it contains high pitched sounds. I look forward to seeing your next videos.
Rye bread with whole grains and sourdough.
Oh it's coming. JF
man if i got this much free animal feed i will be millionaire
This rye field was planted before winter. It is not wild it belongs to a farmer.
It's an abandoned lot in the middle of the city. The same stuff grows along the sides of the highway in this area. JB
Please don't film an drive, it is surely no better than calling or texting someone while driving and it is endangering you and other people's lives on the road.
Quoting petersen has been the cringiest, most pseudo intellectual thing I've heard from this channel yet
You only say that because you havn't cleaned your room @Citizen Mark.
I just cleaned my room and my daughter's room while my wife cleaned the living room! We're a clean, happy revolutionary Marxist family.
..... get in the f*cking helicopter @Citizen Mark
What do you know, a fascist who likes Peterson. Go figure.
Mark Rainey well this comment section is interesting
