Regarding storage – If I haven’t purchased the wheat in the 6-gallon nitrogen-flushed pails, I’ll break the wheat down into 2 pound portions which I vacuum seal (after throwing in an oxygen scrubber). I’ll then put the individual sealed bags into a 6-gallon bucket with a lid.

This gives me easy to access portions without exposing the full 40 pounds or so to the air. It also gives me pre-measured portions that can be used for barter, or given to neighbors in need without disclosing my full stores.
