Good morning Brethren,

I decided to post a question from one of the Brethren this morning which is probably one some of you have asked to yourselves about the domestic barley harvest. I don't think they will min d as it is a very good question and basically tells me something is up out there in Calendar land.

Maybe someone saying its all harvested to promote a delusional start to a non Biblical year.

Question:

Hello Brian,

Do you know if all the domestic barley has been harvested yet? Best

Answer:

Good morning,

We hope things are well with you. All of the domestic barley planted in October through December is cut for silage so far. That is because it is a specific type of barley which is designated for animal feed. There is still a lot to be cut that was planted from the last week in December and into January. Those areas are in the north and the higher elevations of the Center. I know of several locations that will be harvested for its grain but that has not happened yet. When it does, I will include that in a future post for you and others who may be interested in that. But we are at least 2 weeks away from that as the farmers who would be doing so are very busy planting their summer crops of vegetables and such. Hope your count to Pentecost is going well.

Brian

As I mentioned a good question.

So while we are at it I have a few photos which will answer a number of questions.

First we have several more featuring Poppies, Chrysanthemums, barley, wheat, and wild barley all growing together. Keep in mind that wild barley growing in good ground amongst its sister and cousin drop earlier than the others do. That is their design thus they can't be harvested for their grain unless you tip toe through the tulips like the queen of the north does.

Notice a few still are holding strong as they were probably tillers.

Then some photos from yesterday of wild barley growing in semi-good ground and in poor ground. Notice the simple fact they all are still in the head in the semi-good ground. Imagine that. The upper reaches of the hills in the South and eastern facing Jordan Valley are all taking on the define summer look of brown. But only those areas of the country.

Never forget there are dozens of different varieties of wild barley in the Land as we have discussed in the past. Don't get sucked into letting the goat grass varieties convince you of a false start to the Biblical Year.

Then a couple more photos of the maturity of the domestic grains.

And our friends the grapes.

Our peace we give to you!
