Arina,

     There is a farmer near Amarillo who raises free range chickens,

and I gave him some purple wheat, which supposedly has a better

amino acid balance, with higher arginine and lysine, who broadcast the seed.

I m not sure how it turned out, tho.


Hi Mike,

Now I remember our conversation about nutritional contents of different greens and grains! Tell me more about purple wheat - I do no till mostly, so would it germinate from broadcasted seed? would it reseed? Any details are welcome.

Thanks

Arina
