Finally I have uploaded the last step the the rye harvest. In this video I thresh and winnow the rye to clean the grain. It was the first time that I have ever done that by hand so it ended up taking a long time but I had good results in the end. When the grain was clean I sent a batch through the grinder to taste. I ended up following a simple recipe for "drop scones". This was a perfect capstone for such a rich experience. I am looking forward to more grain growing experience in the future.

My children and I are reading through Ruth, and chapter 3 and the threshing and winnowing caught my attention. We talked about the symbolism of separation, and Boaz the Kinsman-Redeemer as a Christ figure. I came upon your video when I wanted to give them a visual of winnowing. We grew winter rye as a cover crop and cereal grain this year, so your process was very informative. Thanks for sharing.
i just read Ruth Chapter 3&4 now and this is what brought me here. wow!
I was reading in Ruth also and wanted to know how to do it.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I’m in chapter three, and figured it’s about time I learn what I’m reading. 😆
I'm here for the same reason!! Only I read from the book of Matthew where John the Baptist days the his winnowing fork is in his hands....
@@misscoy05ify my too lol praise our God!
why is this the most wholesome vid on CZcams
Not sure why this makes me so happy.
I am a Pastor in upstate NY and have been studying Judges 6 where Gideon was on the threshing floor and the Lord came to him and called him to fight against Israels enemy. I began to research more on the harvesting, threshing and winnowing process and was brought to this video. I am amazed at how much of the process that goes into harvesting and preparing wheat/rye is so Biblical as well as inspirational. The thought occurred to me at the end when you were sharing from your heart that the timing of the harvest is so crucial. Too early of a harvest and the grain would not have separated as easily and too late you loose much fruit. It reminded me of how that in life so often we want God to act quickly, we want results asap. But timing is so important and we need to be patient and allow God in His time and His will to bring about good. Thanks for the video, very well done and very inspirational.
I love the step by step visuals. Working with nature seems so satisfying and rewarding, unlike sitting in an office all day
Wow! Amazing video thanks! Reading threshing and winnowing in the Bible brought me here
+Patrick Fain I'm nothing compared to the old and older timers. I'm glad I could give you a visual to your study.
Same here , and what a visual.
Prov .20:26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
That was the verse
Yup, same here. Matthew 3:12.
Patrick Fain a LOT of sifting going on the churches and world right now. Wheat being separated from the tares big time!
Patrick Fain Amen Brother!!!!!
I’m in a valley in life right now & I question why God takes so long sometimes.... Matt. 3:12 brought me here. I cried watching the process, it helped me understand God more & how he cares for us. Thank you for being vulnerable & sharing your emotion when you ate the wheat! That was when my light bulb moment came; in how much God loves us and the process he uses to make us more like him! The time, energy & effort you put into this & being able to enjoy the fruit of that was beautiful! Thank you for including that part of the process in your video!! This was awesome!
Thank you!! Blessings to you in Jesus name!
+ReginaN Gilstrap Wow, what an honor! I'm so glad that my simple video could help you in this way. It was a wonderful experience for me as well.
God bless!
I could not have said this better dear sister. My spirit is moved. Yes seeing the joy of partaking in the wheat after growing, threshing it, winnowing etc. was pure and beautiful. I am blessed.

I came here while reading Matthew 3:12 and you said this so wonderfully.I like looking up these kinds of references as well. I’m more of a visual learner and this helps me to understand better. Thanks
Your video was absolutely beautiful. I loved watching the winnowing process you used. Very old school and tranquil. It’s the journey that matters most and you’ve captured it.
This is the first time I’ve come across your video and I subscribed. It gave me so much peace. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and thank you for your feedback. I'm hoping to add a little calm to the noise and rush of everyday living.
Best wishes!
I came here whilst reading & reflecting on Isaiah 27:12. What does God mean by threshing & gathering us up 1 by 1? 1 by 1? How on earth does the 1 by 1 process actually work? So I searched CZcams for grain threshing… and am filled with joy & blessed when I watch this video. Now I’m beginning to get what He means!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. A good reminder that we're here to experience the simple things in life and be grateful.
Luke 3:17 (His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”)
brought me to this video. Was intrigued by the idea of a winnowing fan, and wanted to learn more. Thanks for sharing! Such an amazing wholesome process that's been performed for thousands of years. No wonder this metaphor was used for people to relate to and understand the gospel.

Thanks so much for your humbleness on showing us such an awesome process of what it was like in biblical tomes
You can't buy this kind of happiness. It amazes me how we seek joy in the worst of places; yet simply getting back in touch with your roots brings everything back into a balance. It is no wonder we suffer so much and we see only the negatives in life. Nature is the greatest gift from God, it is the greatest therapist.
Wow. I'm impressed. You've satisfied some curiosity and activated others. Thanks.
Fascinating! Never knew how much work went into the things we enjoy so regularly in everyday life.
Found this video because I was wanting to have greater understanding of some of the things Jesus talked about. Seeing your process helps greatly! I thought of Gideon trying to secretly thresh wheat so the enemy wouldn’t steal it. I thought of how The Lord Will separate the wheat from the tares. The way you took your time to get all the “extra” out and only the grain remained.. thank you so much!! 🙏🏽
Wow this is a lot of work! Is this the most modern way? Great video. I was reading bible and found this video. I loved it!!
This video deserves more views!!
Wow, thanks.
Thank you for posting this. I’m growing wheat this year for the 1st time, and appreciated your input.
That's incredible! I am about to buy a scythe myself and this will be one of my first projects.
It is a rewarding work. best of luck to you, and if you remember me when you harvest let me know how it went.
wheres the flails!? The traditional method on old English farms was to have a threshing floor in the middle of 2 halves of a barn. They left the doors open at both sides to get the air flow for winnowing. The threshing floor was made as finely and accurate as a ballroom dance floor, NO GAPS, the elm boards were saw carved edge to edge for perfect joins so you didn't lose grains. The flail was 2 pieces of hard wood hinge joined with a loop of eel skin or raw hide leather. The hinge allows the smaller half to smack flat on the floor and gives more power
LOL I read some old book of English rural past, some old boy STILL had his flail handy, couldn't be separated from it. He went from his village to the local town for some reason, and, bizarrely, thought to take his flail along "just in case anyone needs some grain knocking out" He went in some fancy shop, and they were intrigued by the weird looking tool, and asked for a demo, which he was more than happy to perform.....promptly shattering a fine china plate that was on display
No flails because flails were used by ‘professional’ rural farmers in the old days, and machines are used today, whereas this is simply a wonderful example of a present time, self-sufficient farmer. He probably feeds mainly his own family & friends with much less leftovers to sell unlike larger or industrial farms. Love this video! 5***** TQ. 🙏😊
you have a lot of nice rye seed there , should make good flour for bread , those griddle cakes look so good you have done well God Bless you !
+Steven Noel Thanks for the encouraging words. It is good to hear that I can share these simple joys with others.
This was so neat to watch. I watched this because I wanted to understand the parable in the bible when Jesus was talking about winnowing and threshing and separated them. This allowed me to understand the parable but I enjoyed everything else that came with the video
This was unbelievably interesting and compelling. I completely fell into this video looking up the definition for "winnowing." I am a professor of psychology in counseling, business, consulting. I am excited to share your video with my doctorate students as a visceral illustration of the winnowing process in qualitative research. Your explanation at the end is an incredible metaphor for the deeply individual process of processing, presenting, and interpreting qualitative data.
This is very kind. I'm glad this video meant so much to you and I am glad you can use it for your lessons. Best wishes!
Thank you for sharing this experience for us. It's an amazingblearning experience. Hope to see more. God bless you and your family. Stay safe and thank you for sharing
That was beautiful to watch. As a matter of fact it relaxed me watching the whole video. Thank you.
Great video, must be very rewarding for all of your hard work . I'm gonna try this
great vid. thank you. also enjoyed the love of life in your eyes as you spoke of your experience! God Bless
+Nicci Swan Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Good for you and thank you for sharing . I'm in the process of doing the exact same thing.
This is a great video, taking the initiative to grow your own wheat... I'm very proud of your effort, thanks for sharing your experience and lessons. I believe that if you can figure out where improvement is needed then you are on your way to becoming successful in becoming the best you... Keep up the amazing work :)
My friend, I feel your pride! Awesome job, great reward.... 😀
Thank you for sharing this. Im reading The Bible I wanted to understand the Bible parables in context. What the wheat, chaff, yeast, bread, threshing floor & winnowing fork were expressing in the stories. How & why they represented many concepts of life? These were everyday items used to tell some biblical stories, Now I have a better understanding of why and what the stories are about. Thank you again
THANK you for walking us thru the process, was Amazing. Like others it caused me to reflect on the Process the Father takes us thru that we DONT understand at times & having to separate us from Ppl, Toxins & things that don't mean us well, things that try to keep us Dormant so were not fully used etc. WE ARE BEATEN, SEPERATED TO B MIGHTILY USED FOR HIS GLORY!!!
Fascinating and informative!
That is a labor of love!
Thanks for making this video. Very neat
Thanks I'll be planti9ng winter rye and raising it to maturity in time to put beans where the rye was, at least , that's the plan . your video was helpful for the person growing small amounts of rye.
Thank you for creating this video!
thanks so much for you share the beautiful story with us
Thanks for posting this educational and rewarding video. I am looking at growing a cover crop, for multiple reasons. One of the crops I saw that does well for this is oats. I'm so new to all of this farming stuff, I was surprised to find the stalks from wheat, rye, oats are what produce straw. This upcoming fall, 2017, I was going to buy straw to cover peony roots after the first hard freeze, but I would much rather grow my straw, till in the roots for organic matter and water holding capacity into the soil, and then use what I grew there to cover new peony roots planted from possible winter thaw and freeze cycles that can occur where I live in Alaska.
My idea sounds great, but trying to find informative videos concerning the actual work that goes into cutting, removing the seeds hasn't been as fruitful as I was hoping. But, you put it all so well together. You might be changing my mind as to the crop I might use for a cover. Getting a nice rye flour might be nice.
I'm looking at 1/2 acre. How long do you think that would take to clear with a scythe and bundling up to remove from the field?
Thanks again! Great video, look forward to this next years growing of rye!
Thank you so much for your comment, I am so glad that you were able to find my videos and that they were helpful to you. The highland (mountains) farmers and ranchers in southern Idaho often use oats as a rotation crop for their alfalfa fields. I'm sure oats will grow well for you. Rye should grow well too. I found this great resource from UAF that actually lists the varieties of oats rye and others that grow well up there, and a few ways to use it. www.uaf.edu/files/snras/C135.pdf
It sounds like your idea will work wonderfully, you will be able to produce a lot of straw on 1/2 acre. Rye produces more straw than oats. I'm guessing that it will take 4-6 hours to cut and bind and remove the grain from the field your first time.
Best of luck to you. I would love to hear how it goes!
Thank you for the lesson🙏🏻
Those fried bread pads look tasty!!
Are you still growing rye? I'm giving it a try. Just planted fall rye in 4 tires and a 3' dia. fire ring that I have a 3-year-old apple tree growing in that came from a Granny Smith apple seed. Just one day later and a squirrel thought he found a bonanza, until I scared him off and wired up the chicken wire to make it harder for squirrels and birds to get at the seeds. I'm hoping the 13" height of the fire ring will ward off the mice. I don't have space for growing grain, but I'm thinking of making rows in my front yard for rye, amaranth and other seed/grain. We'll see what this fall crop does. I'm growing a sample indoors over winter just so I can see how it grows, how long it takes to ripen and what the yield is per stalk. You got a good harvest with about 6 gallons or so. I'll watch your other video to see how much you had to plant to get a yield like that. If I had to guess, I think my tires will yield a cup of grain each and the fire ring will produce 2 cups. :)))
AWESOME INFO SHARE''' THANKS"" I will try this method on our homestead""
Just a quick question how big was your plot to get that much rye?
Thank you 😊
Sir,🙏🙏🙏. this video is important.👍👍👌👌
Thank you!
Thanks for the overview on this. I have a 40x40 foot kitchen garden and was wondering about an overwinter crop. It seems that rye is a good choice. I'll plant in early fall, have it grow in spring and harvest before tilling for spring veggies and go through this process myself to see what I come up with. Again, appreciate the video! I'll be thrashing away next year!
i dont know if it will be fast enough to be a covercrop you can harvest. atleast in my area recommended planting date is only 2 months after harvest date
@@nymeriagloves3957 I talked to someone about this. I will have to plant as soon as I harvest the rest of the stuff. So the last week of sept or first week of oct. Then it will need to overwinter. In spring it will regain and continue to grow. Should be fine for a May harvest, but I will need to not mess around on harvest and then planting my other stuff if I don't want to miss the turnover for the season. Like a week or 2 to get it all done. I'm in zone 6b. It can be done but just don't be slacking.
音乐好好听。很有趣的故事！
Another great video. You can now claim that you have done something that I haven't yet. 😀
Grinding: Nope, I don't have any direct experience on cereal manual grinding. However, I do have some on manual steel grinding and the same principles applies. Whatever grinder size you have, you want to secure it to an heavy, almost unmovable base. The more play your grinder have, the more energy you have to put in to make the same action. If you haven't done it yet, I'd be looking to see if you need to lubricate some moving parts with vegetable oil.
For the base, I ended up making a multi-usage stand for my workshop with a 2 ¼" square inch socket. All tools that requires to be mounted in my shop or while I'm on the road were secured on a metal plate welded to a 2" square tube, so I can mount them on that stand or on my trailer hitch. Any car, pickup or utility vehicle are generally heavy enough for you'll have to do. Another option would be to build a support for the grinder in order to secure it into a wise. You should base your decision on how often you will end up using the grinder and who will be using it.
Harvest: I'm wondering how much of your "lost" harvest will regrow next year. For the scythe basket, I invite you to make it as light as possible. I would use poplar saplings or something similar as main material, all tied up with square lashings. Apply some boiled linseed oil as preservative and it will last you a couple years if you are following the recommendations.
Anyway, keep on your good work.
+Simon Forget Great comment as always. I am planning to mount the grinder onto something good and solid as soon as I live somewhere a little more solid ;). Maybe attaching it to a bumper isn't a bad idea. I'll be building a setup so I can power it with my bicycle. You are very right though about the loss of energy on a wobbly mount, but I got the job done. Thanks for the tips on the Scythe basket, It is nice to hear from someone who has actually used a scythe.
I still do own two large scythes but I had not any need so far to attach a basket on them yet. So, I thought of a making that basket to be light and inexpensive, although it might take you a few hours to make. I suggest that you make it on a few nights next winter.
Winter is really where I spend the most time in my shop. It's the time of the year where I repair and restore any tools that I use, where handles are fixed, sanded and oiled. You don't have any time to spend on this on summer.
Getting the wheat grinder powered by a bike isn't a bad idea, just not yours. An old stationary bike would be way more efficient for your needs. Having a way to change the tool on that bike would make it multi-use and if it's not heavy enough, you can always fix it to the ground or floor.
You'll have to modify your existing bike extensively to get it to work the way it should to power tools, more than likely rendering it useless for it first and main purpose: moving yourself from A to B. Craigslist is full of people that wants to get rid of a stationary one; pick one up when the opportunity arise. You have a year from now to do so.
ჭვავია!🇬🇪
Awesome
Wow...where are you guys this long!!! Amazing work and very educational too. I'm looking to plant paddy and get some handy tool to remove hulk but not to grind it. Not sure you could provide some info on grinding tool just to remove the hulk.
How do you guys manage Deer or rabbits that could damage or eat up your harvest?
+AquaponicsTravel-Virginia For de-hulling check out this video. czcams.com/video/lVcOOJXKjYw/video.html
I want to build one of these. Replacing the grinding disks with this special rubber makes a lot of sense.
As for deer and rabbits, we didn't have a lot of trouble with them on our first homestead so I don't have the experience you may be looking for. When I was growing up our dogs kept most of the critters out of the garden. A good fence can do a lot but it has to be tall and hard to dig under. I hope I helped a little, where we have moved has a lot of deer, elk, and other animals. I'm sure I will have some good experience as time goes on.
May God Bless You I love our God
I enjoyed watching this because I want to harvest some rye too. How do you know *when* the rye is ready to harvest?
I’m in the same spot and wondering if my rye is ready or not.
He does have another video where he shows a trick to taste some and see if it’s hard. Although he mentions here he waited a bit too long to harvest since he lost some grains in the process.
Good
Pretty cool. I’m truly playing a video game where you have to grow crops and beat your Rye, Wheat & Flax on a Threshing Floor. The byproducts it gives are Straw and said grain of above mentioned crops. Just watched your video to see what it actually looks like. They pretty much nailed it in the game! Thanks!
How big was the plot of land to produce this much grain?
GREAT VIDEO, I WAS REALLY TOUCH!
FROM WASHINGTON DC WOULD LOVE TO VISIT TO SEE THE PROCESS LIVE AND IN PERSON.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE!!!
Awsome
How much garden space to grow that much grain?
I wish I had land. I want to try this so bad.
Thanks ...this was very educational and enjoyable......now I see my mistake....you should not winnow directly above your head...but at an angle...or you will need to have a shampoo....thankyou.....I guess its hard to convert a city boy to a Boaz..
Love Rob
Can any one tell me about the quality of this rye grain
do you have an amazon link to that tool you used to beat the wheat in the beginning?
It is actually just a branch that I took all the bark off of and cleaned up. Nothing too fancy.
@@Simplegroundlife too rich for my blood😆. Jokes aside, I like the video!
Thanks best wishes!
I was mildly surprised by how much grain you got out of your field. Perhaps I didn't really appreciate the size of you field. Also, you might use a rake to remove the residual straw from the grain once you beat it loose.
+Jaye Jay Curry The rake isn't a bad idea. I'll remember that for next time. I was actually hoping to get a little more from the field, this test showed me that I would need to dedicate a good chunk of ground to grain production if I wanted to grow all the grain my family eats in a year. I'm excited to get to that point one day.
Total self-sufficiency is a good goal. Until then, every little bit is a blessing. I don't know about your soil, but amending it with organic material my also help. If it were me, I'd make sure the field had a good fence and let some goats or sheep fertilize it. Or, maybe I am the one full of fertilizer. ;-)
does it come up every year or is it something you have to plant every year?
+goddessOfLove There is some seed drop from harvest that will come up the next year but it is commonly re seeded yearly. It is good practice to rotate the crop as well (plant the rye somewhere else and plant another crop in its place). I hope this helps.
You are thoroughly wholesome
How do you deal with ergot? Does crop rotation make it non existent? Is it easy to spot?
+Valentin Lance This was my first crop so I didn't have any trouble with it. I'm afraid that I don't have enough experience with that to be any help with that question.
Thank you with the response. I was asking primarily because at least in the past it was a big problem, but that might have come from constantly growing it in the same spot.
a 3 to 4 year rotation with 1 of them being something like red clover helps, as grazing of course, specially with the big ones so you save some work with the plowing 😉 great video Simple Ground thanks 👍
🙏
Does that make them 100% whole grain pancakes?
I guess it does.
I'm sure even 2000 years ago they had sifters!! I'm lost on why you did everything by hand then used a mechanical grinder?
My understanding of history is that mechanical threshing and winnowing began durring the industrial revolution. I'm sure that they had tools to do it but the process was always similar. When I say think back, I am usually thinking of the early days of the United States. My family on my mother's side still talks about getting the first threshing and winnowing machines in the valley they settled in. I'm mainly concerned about doing things by hand.
Good point on the grinder, they did have Mills, even 2000 years ago. I don't have any other way to grind grain plus the grain mill is really fun to use.
We also do like you doing in himachal
Matthew 3:11-12 KJV
[11] I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
[12] Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Psalm 1 brought me here.
"That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither-
whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away."
- Psalm 1: 3-4.
We read the Bible about winnowing and had to show my children the process. Winnowing for followers of Christ will be through persecution.
"His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." Matthew 3:12
Why the ridiculous music...
