Alright, here it goes: I (meaning mom) have decided to grow wheat in my meadow next year. I have a small area 20x20 that is all fenced in, and "deer proof". I have a large tractor mount rototiller that I am going to use, but here is where I need the help, I am fully capable of tillage, but I don't know how to seed, maintain, and then harvest. I don't have a seed drill, so I will be using my hands. 1. Mom has 5 gallon buckets of wheat that are 4-5 years old, can I use this for seed? It isn't rancid, if you soak the seed in water almost all of them sprout? 2. Can I just broadcast seed with my hands, and then ruff it up with a hand rake? 3. What do I need to do to the Wheat between seeding and harvest? 4. How do I harvest the crop, and then seperate it from the chaff?
I have an old hand sickle thing. You can hold it with two hands, and then "swipe" it through grass and it will cut it down at ground level. If I do this, and then gather it all up, do I just take it into the shop on the concreet floor and beat it with a stick until all of the seed is off? Or What?
If you guys could give me some tips I would really apperciate it!

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
