More and more people are seeking out locally grown foods, yet one of the real obstacles to their efforts has been finding local sources for grains, which are grown mainly on large, distant corporate farms. In Small-Scale Grain Raising, Gene Logsdon demonstrates that anyone who has access to a large garden or small farm can think outside the agribusiness box and acquire techniques to grow healthy whole grains or beans – the base of culinary food pyramid – alongside fruits and vegetables. Logsdon concisely covers all the basics, from planting, and dealing with pests, weeds, and diseases to harvesting, processing, storing, and using whole grains. There are even a few recipes throughout the book.
