Next and Last Question for Today.... What are the advantages to getting bulk wheat versus getting bulk flour to store? I plan on the Mylar Bag / O2 absorbers and 5 Gallon Bucket method. I don't have a grinder/mill....yet.... If I get the grain, I have to grind everytime I want flour...

Let's suppose I had a years worth of flour all vacuum sealed with o2 absorbers, how would that compare to the same with bags of wheat grain?

Why would I need to buy wheat and have it grinded into flour when I can already buy 50lbs of flour? Is there other things you can do with wheat that you can't with already prepared flour? Also, does flour store well in mylar bags? Thanks, Joe

Everyone talks about storing wheat as part of thier long term storage. Since I don't have a mill, I was thinking about storing flour in mylar with oxy absorbers. Is there a reason why people store wheat instead of flour. Is it a matter of cost with flour costing more or are there other reasons.

Anybody? How do you protect flour and grains from the insect pests?

I have heard so many different things about flour storage some say no some say yes. I was told to get hard red winter wheat. What is the real deal. I dont have a freezer to stick it in and also think it is silly to have stuff frozen because if the power grid goes down, there goes your food. I...
