I use this kind of blog to remember all the things that I think I can remember, but actually probably won't! This year I'll use the date of the first major harvest, so each grain ought to appear one time (except for those I forgot to type in).
The ripening was running 8 days behind 2022.

Rain is due late this afternoon, so, a bit of time pressure!
From the field east of the silo:
XTF-01 Blizzard Triticale
XTF-02 Enduro Triticale
XTF-07 Lasko Triticale
Td650 Black Winter Emmer
Each bundle tagged using green tape is a test strip for yield calculations. If bundled in blue, those are the sister bundles of the test "green tape" grains. If white tape, they are just regular 'seeds'.
Bundles have been combined by variety, and bound together for hanging from the rafters to further dry/cure while waiting in the queue for threshing and winnowing.
Lunch break and then from the field west of the pond:
TDF-05 Ble' Dur Arcour Einkorn
TD-05 (W84) Sentiencium Jere Emmer
W56 Timopheevii
WF-106 Jones Fife Winter Wheat (a favorite of the sparrows!)

Today was a busy day (and hot): oats, barley, wheat and triticale. (no rye yet) in the plot we call "north of the barn". This plot has soil that is a sand, loam that has always done well for grains. The other half is a bit heavy.
Each seed bundle labeled with name, SKU, plot name and harvest date.

Harvested all of the Bai Chin Ke Barley (BF-76). I could have done it a few days ago, but I wanted the entire plot to be 'ready' at once. While the Zou Xian Song Mang Da Mai Barley was a 'all ripe at once' kind of grain, the Bai Chin Ke Barley had two traits I do not like: 1) The row along the walking aisle was definitely a week behind in maturity, so it did not get cut at the same time, 2) Some of the plants had produced a kind of 2nd flush of stems and seed heads which were still quite green. Of course those two negatives are balanced by Bai Chin Ke's awns which did a fairly good job of discouraging the birds, and the seeds are 'naked', that is, hull less.
