Grains aren’t for animals!!! Stop ruining rye and other grains! If they were for animals they could it eat without having health issues!!!! WHY or HOW is man SO DAMN STUPID!!😫🫠🤕 Otherwise i like your knowledge Andrew and i can’t wait to buy your books!😍🤓 I’m very much into ancient grains/wheat (einkorn, emmer and spelt).

Andrew and John Seymour (Complete Book of Self Sufficiency) would have got on together like a house on fire. I wonder of Andrew knew him. I think he died in 1995 or thereabouts.
