The Farro or Emmer heads are forming. There are two rows of grain on the heads. It looks like we will harvest at the end of July. The harvest could be difficult as the crop has 'laid down'. I believe this is a result of the soil being too fertile for the crop. We had chickens here almost two years ago and have grown some very nice vegetables on these beds. We chose to plant the Farro here as it was the area that had the least weed pressure. Hopefully, the small old combine that we will use for harvest will be able to pick up the mature crop.
