Another loaf of #homemade #wheat #bread made from flour from #climatechange resistant and regeneratively grown wheat. King Arthur #Baking says they will be changing 100% of their flour to this kind of wheat by 2030. As climate change accelerates, the kind of wheat we grow right now in the #USA won't be able to tolerate the increased heat or changes to weather patterns, but this kind can handle it. It was developed by the Washington State University's Breadlab.

From WHEAT LIFE:

"Flour sacks began replacing barrels as flour containers in the later 1800s, when the sewing machine made it possible to sew a sturdy sack that could hold flour. Flour sacks dominated the industry until the 1940s when paper sacks, which were introduced 20 years earlier, became the main form of packaging."

A lot of these old seed and flour sacks back in the day were manufactured by a Minneapolis company whose logo was a cat out of the bag! Ope!

(You need go no further than the Minnesota State Fair to see a superb permanent collection of seed and flour sacks right there in the Ag-Hort building, not far from the crop art.)
