Grain Caution

Post by BlackStrap »

Hey there all;

Thought I would share an experience, and hopefully someone can shed more light on this.
If it's been discussed before, my apologies.

My local feed store owner and I have an understanding, he knows i'll occasionally by grain from him, and we've sat down and talked about 6 row barley vs 2 row the different wheats and rye grains. Last time I was in he told me to stop back mid to late February...He has a new supplier, for barley designed for malting, and thought maybe it would be better for me. He let me borrow the booklet of grain and seed choices from that company, and I did a lot of googling on some of the terminology. Ended up calling the seed company and talked to the representative, and found out the barley and wheat grains listed are not for animal or human consumption These grains are treated, by means chemicals and GMOs that make these grains resistant to bugs and weed killers (RoundUp). These grains to be grown and harvested before fit to consume.

I'm pretty sure these grains would be easy to malt, but not sure what kind of a product, or how harmful using them could be?

Would really enjoy some of you alls input or this.

Thanks, Remember be Safe & Have Fun
