How to Grow, Thresh, and Mill Your Own Wheat for Bread

- Have you ever thought about growing your own grain by hand? Well, it’s possible, even for the small scale grower. The industrial revolution just made it easy to forget what the human body is capable of.
Grain is fun to grow, but it produces a low yield per square foot and requires a significant amount of labour for harvesting. Therefore, if you want to get as much food from your land as possible, grain is definitely NOT the place to start. We are only venturing into grain production, because we’ve got the other fruit and vegetable crops covered, and we’d like to support the industrial food system as little as possible.

What is the name of your grain mills?
@@hollydahl5423 We use a Magic Mill Grain Mill for our wheat and corn flour and a Salzburger Flockenmeister for rolling our oats.
Post link to the thresher please. It doesn't link in the short.
Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Everything.
And like Mister Rogers would sing: "Won't you be my neighbor?"
@@argentorangeok6224 There's a link to the full thresher video in the description above. Here's another link: czcams.com/video/HsILv0_U3z0/video.html
All I have to do is spend 3 grand on equipment and do the labor on the garden for about 6 months, and BANG - 2 loaves of bread.
EXACTLY! 😂
Yeah, when I think of all the wheat flour products we eat and I try to imagine the scale of wheat farming, my brain gets a little fried.
I know you know this, but it made much more than 2 loaves of bread.
Start up did take a lot, but after that, it said they watered it once but then it was minimal.
They got quite a lot of wheat - 25 lbs - from their plot.
Watch the longer video in the 1st comment.
@@alicecain4851 That's actually pretty good. Besides, it's something they love to do, so I do get it. I just like busting balls from time to time. Cheers.
😂😂😂
Plot twist: Next year's wheat crop mowed down by Free Lawn Care guy.
"It's Spencer from SB Mowing and when I saw this lawn I just knew I had to take care of it for them."
lol
Thx for the laugh… 😂
F
Houses in olden times used thresh on the floor. A small upright piece of wood or stone held the thresh from getting out under the door. That’s how the term threshold came about😊
Thank you for that information! I never knew this! Fascinating, and, makes complete sense.
Holy shit thats awesome. I love learning about the origins of that sort of stuff.
Wow!
Free school I'll cop it
Thank you
I worked on a farm for a month and they grew all their own food and had tons of orchards and made their own wine and everything was the best I've ever had. The veggies were incredible and I've never tasted such delicious plums, peaches, pears, apples and grapes. One lady, who was 92 but fit AF and was able to do the splits all the way(every day meditation and stretching) and she made the bread from the wheat they harvested. Really incredible stuff
That sounds amazing! Where is this farm? 😮
Well done now how much bread will this man get from that size patch?
And 92 and fit as fuck ? I think there's even more explaining Mr
Sounds like a great place to live for a while
@@harryegan7456if you take care of your body you can retain movement up until the day you die.
I grow a few thousand acres worth each year. I would sell it to anyone for $15 per 50lbs. Good quality wheat cleaned and ready to use.
On that big of a scale, what do you use to keep pests and disease away? I've been grinding wheat and making bread for over 20 years and I always want to grow my own wheat, but I know it can be labor intensive on a small scale. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Is this an advertisement??? lol
@@tiffanynewbold1156 Idk how they do it in America, but in Europe we use artificial fertilizer for growth, and spray it with chemical compoundns to be bug and desease resistant. Farming on a big scale is implausible witout chemical use. Thats why projects like this, with small amounts of crops without chemicals use is the best health and taste wise. But it requires allot of work..
What state?
@@bricknolty5478 who cares
Did a little math:
- with 25lb of wheat, you can make ~29 loaves of bread
- this yield over 450sqft means you'd need 15.5sqft per loaf of bread
Probably not worth using your garden space for it, but it'd be a fun experience to try once. Maybe with some intercropping it could be more worth growing
How many loafs of bread to save enough to offset the land cost 😭
Then you’d need to grow approximately 50 lbs of wheat to make one loaf of bread a week for one year. With long term storage of wheat you could store some in number 10 cans or mylar bags and food grade buckets. Now I just need to sort out an off grid method of separating the wheat from the chaff and grinding it into flour. Same with corn.
@@WildnUnruly damn, how much bread do you eat?!
It’s something that’s good to do for a few seasons, the wheat can be used for emergency rations.
Some of these comments are soo out there! The man is trying to share his knowledge and help ppl become self sustainable.
When there’s a shortage of flour EVERYTHING will be outrageous!! It’s creeping up to just that now and it’s getting worse!
I’d rather be able to grow my own food and not worry about the grocery stores or the Govt!!
No one said you had to do it alone. People need to learn about coming together for a common goal. If everyone had a yard, each could grow certain vegetables and grain.
Can you imagine if an entire neighborhood got together and one block grow wheat and another block grow vegetables and fruits? That’s just 2 blocks! The sky’s the limit!!
Learn to barter and screw the FEDS at the whitehouse wanting to do away with paper/coin currency and force us to use digital currency to TRACK our EVERY PURCHASE! Hence bartering will come into play. We got this!!
P.S. There’s a perennial wheat that can be grown every year. No having to replant every year!! Just food for thought people!
Be more positive with eachother and think out of the box!!!❤
God Bless Everyone!!
When I was younger me an my mother tried to grow wheat. The deer thought it was delicious, thing got about waist high and then they ate it to the dirt. On a totally unrelated note, my grandmother's recipe for potato bread is pretty tasty, makes great toast too.
You, sir, are a venison rancher. You just didn't know it.
@@unclejoeoakland I was going to make a similar comment but saw you beat me to the punch!
Your grandma didnt eat enough Venison'
Hahaha deer said fk yo grand mummas bogus potato bread and fkd Ur crop up lmao
@@TheRadconrangeryou can’t make bread out of deer though sadly.
We grew wheat this summer! 25’x100’ We grew winter wheat which we sowed last fall. We harvested with a sickle, a sythe, and a hedge trimmer. The sythe requires more practice, but the other two were great. We soak the berries, ferment or sprout them and feed them to our chickens. I used the book Small Scale Grain Grower. Sure, you can buy grain cheaply now, but better practice for the future!
Hi could you please give the name of the author? I tried looking up the title you mentioned and the closest I found was called Small Scale Grain Raising by Gene Logsdon is this the same one?
That’s the same one!
@@busybirder4294 Thanks!
If you want less dense bread it’s really helpful to let the flour age for a few weeks after grinding it. you’ll get better gluten formation and a better rise on your bread
Thank you!
@@mrsducky3428 Also should just mention you need to turn and stir the flour everyday so that it is properly aerated. The process that gives better gluten formation is oxidation. A lot of mass manufacturers use various chemical gases to speed up this process.
good to know , thanks !
GLUTEN, THE WORST ENEMY OF THE HUMAN BODY!
I want my flour ground fresh. The day I bake it has more vitamins; oxidation is the enemy.
The city would fine us an ungodly amount if we tried to grow anything that tall next to the road.
You mean the HOA? The city wouldn't fine you if you have HOA it would the HOA
@@glow1815depends on the city, really. Some cities and towns have codes against it, others don't, and those that do may have aggressive code enforcement or they may not.
Not just HOA. Some towns lose their shit if you do anything within 20 feet of the road.
What a joke.
Your second word says it all.
It’s not about how much his loaves cost - and each harvest brings the initial cost down more and more. It is about knowledge, ability, self-sustainability and on and on. Kudos to this guy!
for having more money than sense? yeah nah fuck him. self sutainable? my man you dum. or something? wheat is just about the dumbest thing you can have on a plot that small. get a grip
Yes!
Wheat grows like a weed where I live. We use straw to insulate concrete while it’s under construction and the next year wherever that’s been done wheat springs up and grows just fine on its own
This is something I've always wondered about doing, but I think for now I'll stick to our local mill that's been in operation for nearly 200 years 👍
How do you find a mill that will do your wheat or oats
@@elizabethcobb3316 Ah, that's my bad for the vagueness of my comment - I don't bring my own wheat there, they just process locally grown wheat for mass sale. I don't think they do it on an individual basis.
@@Alyss93 thanks for clarifying!
weird flex
@@harrisonbuck2749 ok
Wheat grows great. Very low fuss plant. It’s main main draw back is just space. It wants so much.
well.. I mean. he used that silly planter thing to plantnin rows instead of just scattering seed and letting it do it's thing.
@@CrazyIvan865 According to minecraft planting wheat in rows accelerates it's growth. /sarcasm
@@CrazyIvan865 birds love stupid people
True but you can plant it just about anywhere and it’s low maintenance. Opens up more areas to grow
Because it's a grass. Indestructible
I also grow red fife wheat. Easily one of my favorite crops for both grain and ornament. This year is hulless oats, purple barley, and red rye though so no wheat since I don't want to hybridize. I also grow several types of corn and millet during the summer months.
Growing your own bread! That's a good idea! Everyone who had a small plot of ground, used to do it, a century ago!
That’s very informative. I would love to see a video on the whole process.
You can also make your own yeast from a chopped up apple and add 500ml water (not tap water), and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Leave in a jar for a week, stirring once a day and removing the lid to let fresh air in, if the lid pops once you open the lid you know the yeast is growing. After a week, you can remove the Apple, use the yeast which has settled at the bottom of the jar, or you can add flower and sugar to make sourdough (you can also use barley heads in water to make barley yeast and turn that into sourdough) I hope this helps
You don't really need the apple. Flour, water, maybe a little sugar, a jar and a cloth. Mix ingredients in the jar, cover with the cloth, stir daily. Add a little flour and water every day, and when you see bubbles use.
Don't use all of it, though. Keep some so you just have to feed the yeast.
It'll make sourdough bread, but that stuff is delish! And, the taste will be unique to the region, because it's all local yeasts.
Its best to use the yeast naturally present on the foods you sre using. The yeast on wheat is most likely a yeast that is more optimal in fermenting grains than the yeast on an apple would.
And even if the above information isnt true, what is true is that yeast is everywhere. You dont need any fruit skins to capture some. A sourdough starter can be made with just flour, water, and time. Nothing more.
@@1234567895182 And regular stirring. You get some pretty colorful stuff growing in your starter if you forget that part.... I've never dared to mix them back in, just had to ditch the batch
My grandma basically made bread exactly like that; freshly milled whole wheat.
Except, she would add molasses and brown sugar.... The bread... Simply, divine.
I wonder what difference the added molasses made, brown sugar is just sugar and molasses mixed. But damn that does sound delicious
Makes you appreciate large scale farming and what goes into providing food for the entire country. That's just one ingredient. Very interesting.
True, but wheat is also one of the least efficient crops we grow.
My man’s making a THRESHING MACHINE!!! Buddy is top tier
Two years ago I planted a 1,000 square foot plot of hard red winter wheat. Used the same seeder lol. I was busy trying to move when it was ready to harvest so I just turned my chickens out on it. They ate that wheat almost exclusively for nearly 3 weeks. They loved it! I will try again going forward when I will have the time to thresh. Planning to plant some Kernza to experiment with as well.
dud you eat the chickens
@@carlosqlv Yes, I do.
Probably great feed. Always fun to see animals enjoying their food.
Yes to Kernza, My friend! I'm also in the process of trying out the stuff. Don't forget to save your own seeds to progress the project.
@@carlosqlvno they went to a special chicken farm where they can eat all bugs and wheat they want forever
I grew wheat and rye and ground it manually. It was a very rewarding experience and all the hard work really paid off. I sold some loaves at the local
Health food store as well.
irl vagabon
That's where the term "the daily grind" came from...peasants would manually grind flour for 4 hours everyday just to make enough to eat.
I thought my friends were a bit loopy when they said they were growing wheat to make bread. But they planted and harvested about an acre and a half and their bread is fantastic. They have become pros at bread making even making rye bread and multi-grain bread. I go there as often as i can on saturday mornings. I bring the coffee, they supply the toast.😊
I grew up on a wheat farm in Circle Montana in the 70s and 80s.
My mom had the exact same flour mill you have, and made all our bread. When we got old enough to stack bales and move irrigation pipe, dad sold the wheat farm, and bought an alfalfa farm.
After we all graduated, he bought a bale stacker and a center pivot.
On the wheat farm, life was much, much easier.
Life was hard for us kids when we left wheat for alfalfa.
I miss wheat.
I grew up on a wheat farm in 60s and 70s my mom would grind the flour she needed to make bread
Hopefully you didn't plant your wheat next to a road like this dumb chap did. All that exhaust fumes and tire and brake dust is simply going into that soil for the wheat to pick up all the nasty heavy metals. 😭🤦
sound like a nigga born in 1997
liar.
Well done! You are getting 40 bushels/acre, which is good for small-scale production. The Egyptian and medieval standard was 8 bushels/acre.I got similar results back when I was a market gardener in Washington. I used an electric chipper/shredder. Now I live in France and use a flail for my wheat and rye. The chipper/shredders available here have the blade at a 45 degree angle, so it doesn't work as well. Flailing is not onerous.
I mean to be fair, modern Wheat varieties (and pretty much any other crop) are not even remotely in the same ballpark as medieval/egyptian era crops. Plant breeding has made a Giant leap in the last few hundred years
@@lightking1000 gmo has done WAY more.
@@Loralanthalas That's what plant breeding means. When you cross-breed plants you're creating a gmo
@@webkid4567no no no. Cross breeding is "natural", and gmo means they used gene editing tools such as crispr to manually edit the genome. Which are then patented by companies like Monsanto. So when their crops invade your field, they can sue you. They're genetically unique and distinct because it's uniform, not crossbreeding.
I find this interesting because I’m an organic red fife farmer. And it’s cool seeing the similarities and the differences between small scale production in the city vs larger scale on a farm. Very cool!
I seeded 1/4 of an acre in Michigan back in 2017 and had great success with the yield. ( No fertilizer or chemicals applied ). My husband and his father hand cut the wheat and I bundled them into sheaths to dry in the field. It was probably the most beautiful and spiritual experience .......something very familiar and ancient in the process. We never were able to thresh the entire crop by hand but did manage to thresh about 20 pounds of kernels. The rest was given to our 30+ chickens.
Last year I experimented with growing sorghum. I have a gluten free diet, so I wanted to try to avoid wheat. It worked great. I didn’t get as much as you did, but I got some. 👍👍👍
I haven't grown any grain but last year I grew potatoes in my yard cause I saw youtube videos how easy it is with just some hay and I've only gone through about half of what I grew and want to try some more this year
We found some wheat growing beside our shed last year! Kept the grain and planted it this spring. Now we have a tiny crop in our raised garden. Just waiting to see what we get for a harvest. 😊
You got my sub for simply growing your own bread
Dude got balls to grow that in the easement area.
And probably cancer.
@@Mighty_Atheismoyeah right on the sidewalk like that. Kids probably put crap on it too.
Full of dog piss xD
@@jackman5840or literal crap from cats. Toxoplasma can be a concern for pregnant women when handling litter, or this easement being a giant cat litter box.
about forty years ago I bought a wheat grinder like yours. it is still going strong. I love it! All my baked goods taste delicious
Great, wise skill. Thank you for sharing the video. ❤
Damn, the color on that bread is so rich! My mouth literally watered when you cut it.
Fantastic! I’ve often wondered how much land I would need to grown enough to sustain 3-4 people (just for making bread purposes). This simplified it. Great short video.
This is nowhere close to what you would need to only rely on this for a year. Wheat takes a lot of space. This could last a month or two tho, depending on your consumption.
A reasonable assumption is about 1/2kg of grain per square metre. (Or roughly a pound per 10 square feet). A bad farmer might get half that, and a really good one double! The world records for wheat are triple that, around 1.5kg per square metre.
From there you can calculate how much flour you use per loaf and how much bread you eat per week and go from there.
@@calebfuller4713that's actually not bad! I'm moving to southern europe soon to essentially become a sustenance farmer and I always assumed I'd have to cut my consumption of grains enormously. But assuming 1kg of flour a week I'll only need 52m², which on a plot of a few hectares is nothing at all. That does ignore labor, of course. Do you have any idea what these numbers would be for rice?
@@EctoMorpheus Similar. The average yield of rice on Japanese rice farms is about 1/2kg per square metre. I know this from personal experience. There are rice-growing areas in Australia that get double that though. The downside of rice is it has a super-hard outer husk that is hard to remove without special equipment.
Now that is COOL! Always wondered if could "grow our own"
That is so cool. I like simple homegrown stuff.
I'm sure the neighborhood dogs must love that spot and mark it every chance they get.
So happy you put this thought to the test. I've wondered if this would be worth it. Thank you🎉
Well done my good man 💯
Thank you 💖 I’ve always wondered about how much space will grow how much grain 😁
Seeds, plant, water, sunshine & good growing conditions, harvest & store
I'll buy. ❤❤❤
I mill my own grains too and bake fresh bread. I love It!
Growing a small plot right now, didn't know which type so I got 4. Winter soft white, Sonoran, Durum, and Spring hard white.
Thank you for beleiving in quality in this world
I think it's very brave of you to grow anything near the street that you're planning on eating
He is the Little Red Hen
Wheat is just great, it's easy to grow, sturdy and you can grow a ton of it at once.
My wonderful brother had a mobile truck mounted feed grinding and mixer for local dairy men. An enormous amount went through. Including a tonne for our bread and rolled oats. I worked for a highly skilled international baker.
I can't believe you young people are doing any of this. Good job 👍. Of course we did have all the electric machines like you have. When we did get a tiny electric grinder it took a bit to grind enough for two loaves of bread. Nice to see you younger people learning the how to's. 😊
Your skills are amazing. You can build just about anything! 🙌
May you and your house be blessed.
My family and I are in the process of threshing wheat we grew in our garden. It’s a lot of work but it’s good knowledge.
I need to try this with oats!
I've grown oats!
So simple.
You'll love it, I sure did !!😊🎉😊
The yield is so small for the amount of space it takes up. But bread is just too good to pass up
Growing potatoes is great for small lots.
@@Stroke999 of course the UK Polandball says that. Ahahaha
@@Stroke999 As someone who has grown both potatoes, and wheat harvested and threshed manually with sickle and flail, and baked into bread, I can personally give some good reasons why potatoes became popular!
I live on a farm so all I would need would be the mill. I have never tried it but I have made my own cheese from home produced milk, and it was very good.
so cool. I planted one bag of feed wheat in my front passed, a 50 pound bag, all I did was hand broadcast it, and then drive over it with my jeep.
At harvest time, I had so much wheat I could not harvest it all. However, the wildlife truly enjoyed, but I left in the field.
to save space, grow sunflowers and use the stalks for flour instead of growing tuns of wheat. Has a little bit of a nutty taste to it but you get way more from less space
Never heard of using sunflower stalks like this. How do you prepare it?
Gross
@@stevekettelson7368 It's the spongy pith inside the stalk. Dried and ground up in a blender. I imagine it will take many (100's) stalks to make a pound of "flour". Plenty of other high starch things to make flour from. Beans, acorns, sweet potato. Just to name a few. Bean bread is both magical and musical. It's good for your heart and makes you fart. 👍😜
You guys are amazing😍 I've learned so much from you. Thank you🌹
That's nice to hear. Thanks for the comment.
What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Renting a cottage on a landscaped estate, I asked the City if I could garden the alley on my side of the lane and they said keep off the pavement. So bricked up a raised bed in the alley and grew tomatoes. Made sun-dried tomato jerky + jarred sun-dried black-olive bread, unbelievable combo!
That's a whole lot of work for 25 loaves of bread. I belong to a grain coop so that we can share shipping cost. It ends up costing me about 65 dollars for 40 pounds. I make two loaves a week (one for us and one for my mom) so I order twice a year.
When I get the grain I vacuum seal it in 500 gm bags and freeze for 48 hours to kill any stray weevil eggs then store the bags in airtight buckets.
My usual order is 40 pounds hard red winter wheat, 20 pounds of rye and 10 pounds of spelt.
This is amazingly informative
damn, 65 dollars for 40 pounds isn't much more expensive than at the grocery store. i imagine they have actual equipment like tractors and stuff?
That's awesome!!!! Thank you!
Congratulations, great job ❤❤❤❤
Reminds me of the old days, I grew up doing this. Wheat, millets and corn with seasonal vegetables.
I bought a 10lb bag of flour last week for $6
@@carollynt Thank you, I will enjoy it because I don’t worry about consuming GMOs or pesticides.
I've never really had perspective on wheat yield until now, ty
Very inspirational
May Allah bless you more
I think I remember reading in Robinson Caruso, or some similar very old single person deserted on a desert island story, about how they found a few seeds of wheat from the shipwreck and were able to grow enough wheat the first season to have seed but not make bread and then the second season they had enough to make bread and then it only multiplied in size of the field. It sounded pretty far-fetched but you guys made it look possible.
Defoe's adventure novel placed Caruso in the Caribbean, growing zone 11+, and wheat is cultivated down to zone 10b .. with a lot of seed and some luck, he might have managed to get seed for the next year's bread production .. but would almost as likely have lost all of it in a second planting. It is a lot easier to grow a zone or two cooler (with things like cold frames and hoop houses) than a zone or two warmer!
This is AWESOME👏🏼 I’ve always been curious about the process. Thanks for sharing, super informative and great job!!
I love the pricipal behind this channel looks like a fun project definitely a labor of love though
This is beautiful. I’ll add it to my sustainable home design
Potatoes are more calories per acre, and require less processing.
Great job! I hope this catches on. We need to be much more self sufficient than most people are.
There are much more efficient uses of that gardening/farming land. Growing wheat likes this would make people LESS self sufficient, not more (unless you have unlimited growing space, which no one does).
New life goal! Thank you so much for sharing!
Basic, but amazing skill. I would love to learn this some day!
Great video! Glad I found your channel. May I ask where you got your red fife wheat seed?
We got ours from a small local organic grocery store.
At 1 loaf of bread per week your 25 lbs of wheat berries will go six months.
Thank you!
I am impressed. Well done!
I planted a small plot of wheat this year and even if I only get a half a cup I will be happy!
I grew wheat in my garden but it attracted ground squirrels that ate almost all of it
Congrats, you now have a new source of protein. Get your self a BB gun
@@yeastorimy thoughts also... Squirrel stew.
That's awesome, I was wondering how we would get flour if anything catastrophic ever happened.. you know you think about this stuff when the world seems to be going crazy. Nice to know it's doable. ❤
Of course it's doable. People were growing grain and milling flour for millennia before modern technology came about. The bigger question is how you'd support the sheer number of people on Earth using such primitive agriculture.. which ultimately, we can't.
If it was a situation where you need to grow your own food to survive, you'll get more calories with less work growing potatoes, beans, and squash. In the right climate with the right strain of seed, flour corn is good and easy too. And you can grow the squash and beans in with the corn and get healthier plants, less weeding, and three crops instead of just one.
I've grown cereal rye a few times. You can thresh it with a blender. I just cut all the heads off with scissors and put them in a cardboard box for a few weeks to dry, then I threshed them. I replanted them later too. Some of the berries get broken from threshing but most were ok
Blender ?😊
That bread looks so dense and inedible.
That's so wholesome! I didn't even know it was possible
This family is something else, hopefully they fully document. That home threshing machine alone is so inspiring.
Its amazing to be that handy to be able to build stuff like that.
Sos el mejor capo! Abrazo dsd argentina, acá la gente tiene q empezar a sembrar porque sino se van a cagar d hambre.
Jeez im really going to appreciate the next slice of bread i have seeing all thats done 😮
That bread looks so much healthier than the junk from the store!
It probably is. White bread is basically chemicals, sugar and some flour
Depends what you buy at the store. There's good bread if you spend a bit more. Many things are better than cheap white bread!!!
@@RomanesEuntDomus. you need to read the ingredients on white bread. First most abundant ingredient is flour. Not chemicals lol. Stop acting like some preservatives are going to harm you. The air you breathe is more toxic. Get real.
Steady supply though?
according to some comments 25 pounds of wheat should last you 6 months by the time you run out you will already be harvesting your grain. and if you live in a med climate like me you can harvest twice a year once in spring and once in summer
@@billyd7628 that doesn't add up.
Spot on my man
You got me interested I've always wanted to grow wheat. Thank you I will purchase some of that seed that you have.
I want to order the grinder. Where can I get that
Check out Mock Mill. I can't afford the best of the big things but most of us can afford the best of the small things.
What are the dimensions of the plot? I'm thinking about doing this at my place. :D
In an year, youll be getting from 200g to 800g of "dry" wheat mass, depending on how well you manage it. Thats ~300g to 1.2kg of bread per square meter. I believe he used 40 m².
Biggest PROPS! This is so inspiring 💯
I'll be sure to start this next season on the enormous field I definitely own next to my house.
This is crazy sustainable
Not really. You could grow way more fruits and vegetables there than anyone could eat in that same space
@@evanbarrett2072 In volume, true. Wheat is very high in protein, though, I learned to my sorrow when I had to swear off because of an allergy.
