Price of wheat on the rise as Russia bans exporting.
Russia has experienced one of the worst draughts in history. Due to this and the current economic climate, this once huge exporter of wheat will NOT be exporting wheat until further notice. The wheat exporting ban in Russia is likely to do more than hurt only neighboring countries.
What does that mean for the US?
What does this mean for the USA? There is the potential on the horizon that wheat will again rise substantially in price per pound.
Asia is now consuming more wheat than ever before in areas traditionally dominated by rice, the historical grain of choice. With Russia, a major exporter of wheat ceasing it's regular activity, and the global demand still high, prices across the world will begin to reflect the rule of supply and demand.
Even in our line of business, we see the prices fluctuate from month to month, order to order and season to season. The likelihood of this ban effecting local prices within the next two months is high.
The time to order in bulk is NOW!

My manual grain mill grinds so fine.
If you are looking for a hand powered manual mill for milling grains, and dry items into flour, but also want to mill moist, sprouted and oily seeds – there are very few on the market. The BEST manual grain mill I have EVER had the chance to get my hands on is: The Wondermill Junior Deluxe.
This mill has options that you won't find in an electric mill but is not at all hard to use. It is extremely sturdy and user friendly. With two milling head options, you can mill both a super fine pastry flour or almonds into nut butter. You can adjust the coarseness with the easy dial of a knob!
Take a look at this little short demo I made when I first got the mill and found out how very much I enjoyed it! Manual grain milling was never so easy…..

Whole Grains; a vital part of a plant-based diet
The CDC, FDA and many other American government agencies are taking a serious look at supporting a plant-based diet. Why the sudden turn? Perhaps they are finally realizing that a plant-based diet has long time been recommended by experts in the fight against cancer, diabetes and obesity. All of which are hot topics and health concerns in America.
It's no secret that fruits and vegetables (in their most pure, unprocessed form) fall into the plant-based diet category (a blueberry pop tart is not a fruit). The issue gets a little cloudy with grains.
Grains are a plant and part of a plant-based diet if eaten WHOLE. Grains in the form of white, dead, processed flour are not the whole part of the plant that is meant to be consumed but only the endosperm (or starch) portion of the grain. White flour products do not qualify as part of a plant-based diet; whole grains do.
Much of the time the whole grain must be milled into flour for use, but the fact that the whole grain is being used means the entire plant is being consumed thus adding much needed nutrients to your plant-based diet. Grains used in this manner rather than white flour are the basis for the whole food pyramid.
For more information about why using the whole grain is best for your health as part of a plant-based diet, watch the following video: http://www.youtube.com/thewheatguy#p/u/42/y_GR4nLsLJs
- What’s Wrong with a Typical Storage Food List?I got an email the other day from a loving and well meaning friend who was sharing how to buy storage food cheaply over time. It was a wonderful gesture and right in line with the need to prepare. Honestly, though, it got me thinking and wondering what’s wrong with the typical food storage list. […]
- Water, water everywhere nor any a drop to drink.This line from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner rings more true when thinking of surviving difficult times. As we’ve stated before in at least one email that has gone out to everyone who subscribes, water is more VITAL than food when surviving is the issue. A human body can last at least […]
- Learning Survival Skills, Techniques and PlanningAlthough I would not classify what our family does as being ‘Survivalists’, we do factor that portion of planning and preparing into our ‘Prepping’ lifestyle. The skills, tools, techniques and planning it takes to survive in difficult times have been lost due to the over abundance of conveniences. Even if you don’t plan on ‘roughing […]
