I just watched Justin video of the tour of Wheaton labs. Paul mentioned that he was given about 42 grains of seed. He said it grew 8 feet tall but didn't really say anything more about it. Would it be possible to find out what kind it is and what special features it has.
I am trying to grow Einhorn wheat due to its lower gluten and it is an ancient grain. I like ancient things. For starters I'm one. I also raise American Milking Devon cattle. They are slightly smaller, with wonderful dispositions, small birth weight so no calving problems, they are disease resistant so I don't vaccinate for anything and they do better on grass than grain.
It just seems that ancient things that haven't been messed with work better. I thought perhaps this grain might be something like that. If it grows 8 feet tall that straw could be very useful as well.
