I was gifted a wagon full of wheat screenings from being cleaned from a certified organic farmer. It was stored in the wagon since early winter and the top that it had on it leaked in one spot which let about 7 or so bushels to get wet then moldy.
I managed to get all the other grain out which will be wonderful chicken feed, but I was left with a pile of the moldy grain which I ended up spreading out on a poor section of the property which used to be a driveway for farm equipment. Is there some other great use for something like this?
Marc, is the grain viable? Has any of it sprouted? I'd probably spread it out somewhere where I wouldn't mind growing wheat. At the very least it will feed the soil.
I'm sure some of it is while some of it definitely Is not. That's basically what I did was spread it out in a poor spot that if it sprouts all the better. I do rotate a horse over that area so he would eat it if it does start growing.
I would probably spread it out and let it sprout if it was so inclined.
I know some pellet stoves are designed to handle grain/corn as alternate fuels, but even after drying I wouldn't enjoy handling moldy grain. At least not in the house.
