Wheat School: Harvesting 152.8 bu/ac with YEN grower Kevin Van Netten 

What market your ancient grain go?

@@Nicolasdu5 Israel, Jordan and Egypt. In a sense, it's going back to where it originated.

I grew einkorn in my new to me back yard this year. Half dead, weedy lawn when i bought the place. Yielded 1.25 gallons clean grain from 100 sq feet, or 29.24 bushels an acre. 50 sq feet was planted in 10” wide rows 3 seeds every foot of row. No tillage of lawn. Only remove 16 sq in area of sod to plant seed then cover with manure. Other 50 sq foot was seeded equivalent of 35-40 pounds of seed per acre in 10” rows. Tillage was 4” wide seeding strip of sod removed then pick axed 8” deep. All received early roundup between rows and 2-3 tillage and hand weeding.
