We also talk about farm subsidies, insurance, land prices, leasing farmland and why finding a viable business model matters more than simply owning acreage. From there, Jade explains how Grand Teton approaches crop rotations, companion crops, soil fertility and profitability, along with the reality of weather, pests, diesel costs and losing crops.\nTowards the end, we get into modern bread and wheat more directly: glyphosate, grain storage, milling, the removal of bran and germ, fortification, preservatives and why Jade prefers whole-grain, fresh-milled bread.\nWhat we cover:\nAncient grains, einkorn, spelt, emmer and khorasan\nSeed saving, subsidies and how modern grain farming became centralized\nLand prices, leasing farmland and the economics of starting a farm\nRegenerative grain farming, crop rotations, soil health and profitability\nModern bread, milling, additives, glyphosate and whole-grain flour\nTimestamps:\nLinks:\nGrand Teton Ancient Grains — Website\nAbout the farm — About Grand Teton Ancient Grains\nShop grains and flour — Shop\nYouTube — Grand Teton Ancient Grains YouTube\nFarm story — How Grand Teton Ancient Grains Began\nJade's X - X handle \nResources mentioned:\nGrand Teton Ancient Grains — farm, grains and shop ancientgrains.com\nGrand Teton Ancient Grains — grain guide — einkorn, emmer, spelt, khorasan and other grains Ancient...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/al8BwjjnR2m8I-3vEq0Iyx2E0FqQ9QB0aLPF4D6flnY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81YzE3/NmFmYjZiNmRkZDdm/Y2MwYzk5ZjI5ZjRj/YzgwZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
