So, maybe my sepp grain did overwinter? Or maybe seed lay dormant for a year or two? Or maybe this isn’t sepp grain at all? What do you who have grown it think. This pic is from where it was planted a few years back, I left this area fallow this year but a couple of these plants grew.

Sorry for the sideways pics🙄
As a side note, I use iNaturalist app and people have ID it as Virginia wild rye, which is possible however I live on a somewhat isolated island, I’ve not seen other plants like it here and coincidentally both plants are growing within a 10 foot radius of where I planted sepps grain.....

I've been growing it out since about 2008 and turned it over to a couple of farmers with combines. We have 20 acres of it planted in Minnesota now. Does anyone have Sepp Holzer's wheat seed?

I've been growing out Sepp Holzer's rye since 2008. I've teamed up with a couple of grain growers with machinery and we've now scaled it up, and we have 20 acres planted. I have 100g packets of Sepp's "Siberian" rye for sale on my website. I am now looking for Sepp Holzer's wheat. I knew one person in the US that had some, but none of it sprouted for him. Does anybody else have some?

For others interested, I found Botan's website where you can order 100g packets of 6000 seeds.
 
I didn't like the taste of tongue and it didn't like the taste of me. I will now try this tiny ad:
