Sprouted wheat

Here is a pic of the sprouting organic wheat after only 2 to 3 days. You can see almost all kernels have sprouted even though the temps are averaging in the 50's daytime and 30's nighttime. The trick is keeping them in dark closed barrels that absorb the heat of the sun.

The hogs absolutely love the wheat and rye, preferring it over the organic hog feed and fresh veggies. The health value is also high as it gives them extra nutrition during the winter. Another benefit is that the added fiber helps with the manure decomposing so the area stays cleaner.

Altogether a great addition to their diet. We are sprouting enough to provide each hog with a few pounds a day. - perhaps 30% of their diet.
