Homemade grain threshing solutions…

An important first step for the small-scale grain grower is choosing grain varieties that can be threshed without modern machinery, since some grains grow surrounded by a tough, hard-to-remove outer “husk” or “hull.”

Some recommendations for easily-threshed grains are:

  • Hull-less Oats (these oats do have a “hull” or “husk,” but it’s easier to remove than that of the usual oat varieties)
  • Hull-less or “Faust” Barley
  • Marquis Wheat
  • Red Fife Wheat
  • Rye

  • Emmer
  • Spelt
  • Buckwheat
