Diversified Food forest maker . Fill every niche and you'll have less weeds (the weeds are the crop too). Fruit, greens, wild harvest, and nuts as staple. Food processing and preservation are key to self self-sufficiency. Never eat a plant without posetive identification and/or consulting an expert.

I checked Banatka wheat, and it used to be cultivated in Poland in the beginning of XX century, but now is out of market...still some hobbyists might grow it, but no trace of them yet.

Hi Janeck
Did you get any Banatka in this season? There seems to be plenty in genebanks http://genbank.vurv.cz/ewdb/asp/ewdb_d1.asp?START=21&fname=Banatka&d1=&d2=&d3=&t2=&avail_code= I don't know a way to extract from VIR in Russia but German, Dutch, French, Polish, Czech etc just find their website, fill in their order form and they will send you for free however many you order - only 10g each, but with so many examples of this line you will already have quite a lot in the first season.
I happened to come across yesterday mention of Hungarian Wheat "Banutka", being grown in Vermont USA with very favourable mention for baking http://www.localbanquet.com/issues/years/2010/spring10/heritage_wheat_sp10.html - there are accessions of this across Europe also, but do you think or know whether this would be same as "Banatka" - just a Hungarian version of "Banatka" name?
yours

I am happy to announce that we had very successful harvest of Banatka. I will share some photos of the fields that were conventionally sowed with 200kg seeds of Banatka (wrong method as Banatka has about 20- 40 shoots from a single seed) with yield of cca1500 kg per 0.5 ha. Of course no fertilizers or herbicides.
Now we are going to sow 0.5 ha Banatka (it is truly the only pure European heritage wheat) I will also post in coming days lab results of content of Banatka.
SPRING DINKEL WHEAT (Triticum spelta)
This is a spring growth-habit wheat with legendary bread-making properties. The artisan breads of the European renaissance came from grain like this. The spikelets are golden-tan. The spring growth-habit genetic trait is unusual and extremely rare.
WINTER DINKEL WHEAT (Triticum spelta)
This is the customary type of dinkel wheat with winter growth-habit. Travel back in time with this grain which earned its reputation and stripes many centuries ago as “the rice of Europe.” Think cobbled lanes, soaring cathedrals with buttressed arches, storybook rivers with floating barges; you get the picture.
EINKORN WHEAT (Triticum monococcum)
This is a spring growth-habit wheat whose spikelets contain one single seed (einkorn= German “one grain”). If you think herringbone weave is an attractive garment fabric, wait ‘till you see the architecture of this golden einkorn wheat. Each head is a herringbone-weave masterwork of symmetry with each spikelet pointing the way up, to heaven. As they say, “upwardly mobile.” Yes, this is a heavenly grain of the most ancient provenance (aka “Stone Age Wheat”). It is a very undemanding wheat, quite happy and fully content in soils which you’d swear have zero organic-matter content and nitrogen. If you have a dry, stony, arid wasteland, you might be surprised to find einkorn standing there very contentedly and without complaint, some future year — having slipped away from your garden to pursue its own heartfelt freedoms. This is a grain to come to know, both nutritionally and agronomically. Taxi to heaven.
GOLDEN EMMER WHEAT (Triticum dicoccum)
This is a spring growth-habit wheat with plump spikelets of golden grain; a very handsome article indeed. And grain pedigrees don’t come more ancient than this. This is a grain that gave birth to human civilization. The scholars have found and identified it again and again at some of the earliest sites of civilization. It was found in the earliest farming sites in Turkey, and fueled the minds and hearts which produced the wonders of Classical Greece. This wheat knows the tangy fog and sun of the Aegean Sea and is most eager to fully demonstrate its sunkissed and felicitous nature before your very eyes. It well knows that modern eyes need some re-convincing regarding the practical merit, value, and integrity of ancient things. This is a
wheat with a mission: a faculty member ready to teach lessons about beauty and nutritional excellence.
BLACK WINTER EMMER (Triticum dicoccum)
This is a winter growth-habit wheat with “knock your socks off” beauty. It will impress the most modern of cereal breeders with its totally erect leaf architecture. Its stems are stiff and lodging-resistant. Heavenly? It reached the amazing and very memorable height of 84 inches in grow-outs conducted by the Kusa Seed organization. It knows where it’s going and it will take you there, too. For this ancient wheat ancestor, you definitely want to bring a photographer onto your place. Its panicles have the exquisite lacy architectural appearance of wild grasses and when it begins to flower, the flower-parts are a light-show of brilliant gold trembling against pale russet florets. When the heads are finishing with their plump spikelets coloring-up to black, you will find early of a morning, beads of silver dew rolling like drops of molten solder down the obsidian walls of one of creation’s masterpieces.

The texts on winter wheat "Natural agriculture : winter wheat in northern Europe according to the Fukuoka-Bonfils method" and "Winter wheat and its plant physiology according to the Fukuoka-Bonfils method" are translation from courses notes taken by students who followed some courses given by Marc Bonfils many years ago. These are not documents written by Marc himself and are rather incomplete. There is a lot more of original written material in french. Not only on winter wheat actually.
https://www.verdeterreprod.fr/3885/ - it says all documents from Marc bonfils but some on the list are not his
https://www.permatheque.fr/2015/04/18/permaculture-recherches-de-m-bonfils-pdf/ - many subjects but not winter wheat
Concerning the winter wheat cultivation, there is a transcription being made presently. I takes time...I'm not working on it but I can put people in touch if interested to participate.
