We're looking at growing our own grains this year too, for the same
reasons. Past experimentation has shown that we can grow pretty much any
of the small grains quite well, but harvest has been a PAIN. I'm
looking for equipment that can do a nice job harvesting something between 1/2
acre and several acres; not many combines in our neck of the woods. Best
solution I've found so far has been either the John Deere 12a or All Crop pull
behind combines. Neither of which are available locally but various online
equipment supply networks could ship to me if we have enough $$$$. What
I'd really like to find is something that will hook up to my BCS that I can
use. Harvesting by hand gets old really fast, no matter what Gene Logsdon
says. Or maybe that's why traditional farms had 12 kids.
