Plonking wheats through the shredder.

Couple of years back, looking in despair at a heap of rye i had to zip off the stalks my hands hurting after a few i cracked and did a ruthless thing. I plonked them into the electric shredder i bought to make wood chips with of smallish branches. I was extremely bemused when after inspection i learned that most rye seeds seem to just severe of the stalk intact.
Since i've learned wheat does just fine and lately i've had a go at spelt wheat.
That was more challenging, because it seems to have two small seeds in one pocket of which the smallest seemed to break in two. As i didn't know what else to do with the harvest i carried on. After some sifting i'm left with the chaff and seeds. Which i seperated in water to just see if i could. And yes the heavy seeds sank and the chaff which sometimes contained seeds floated. But i decided to just keep it together, the chaf and the seed in a container. I hope the chaff functions a bit as a condensation sponge if weather turns funny so my seeds will be kept save. I've done a little sprouting test to see if i hadn't damaged the seeds, but they seem fine, see photo.
Come rains this autumn i can just seed an area with it. I've got a lot more than i started with and a neighboring cattle ranger seems keen to try some as well for calves with start up stomach problems. It's a landrace grex consisting of 4 ancient varieties, so naturally it will over time adapt to the bad soils i grow on.
Without further mutterings and elaborations i leave this topic to the odd wanderer of the interwebs who happens to stumble upon this topic somewhere in this space-time continuum. And i hope you will have a lucky shredder too one day, because it's a time saver i am very fond of.

That's pretty nifty - thank you for sharing your experiment! What sort of blades/grinder does your shredder have Hugo? I do have an electric shredder somewhere about that I never use for it's intended purpose (too much labour moving sticks around, I'd rather have a pile in an out of the way corner; although the mulch would be nice).
I'm not at the stage of processing much grain. I only managed to sow my rye this year , but my oats are not hullless, and my bere barley also will take some threshing in the future.
