I have soaked wild amaranth seed and it forms the 'pudding' like gel coating like chia seed does. My girls ate it. Im debating using lambsquarter seed for sprouts.
All those are great forage. I have amaranth, even the wild version yields heavy. I have lambs quarter too. They have a lot of oxalates so goats cant have it but in moderation the birds can
They look like seaberries a bit. Pretty.
Im bringing in autumn olive. Its dual benefit as we can eat them too. The wild forms here make so many berries all you see is maroon right about now.
World wide crop failures this year. Usually it may be one spot or another, but grain staples have been heavily damaged all over the world through various crap circumstances. https://news.mongabay.com/2021/08/a-world-of-hurt-2021-climate-disasters-raise-alarm-over-food-security/
I like yr idea of tractoring and rotating feed spots for this type of feed system. Im going to work on that. My girls free range so it will be like a drive thru luncheonette for them 😁 The girls spend a lot of time in the orchard and getting this into place will make my trees very happy too...
Im aiming for one year of food for everyone. If things so south, i need a year (at least 3 seasons) to get everything up to full speed. Good shopping. 🤙🏻
