Looking to the past for possibilities

Let us not forget that humans were producing grain for thousands of years on a small scale. It is only recently that we have come to imagine grain production taking up hundreds of acres and involving large scale mechanization to make production and processing possible. Small scale grain production is part of our culture, our history, our transformations. Growing grain, even a few square feet in your backyard garden plot is a symbolic statement and makes a contribution as it starts to re-invent the perceptions of grain production. The more people who start to imagine the possibility and throw some seeds in the soil offer hope.
