1. I may have missed it in the past but would you give more detail as to how you store your grains especially the containers you use and how you obtain a vacuum. I have 30 gallon plastic drums that have a rubber seal under a screw on lid my question is will wheat keep long term with direct contact to the plastic or do I need to use a Mylar bag? Thanks, Henry .

2. Not a comment, but a thought. If confronting North Korea can only be done by military action or by motivating China, why don’t We The People motivate China? When shopping, look at the country of origin. If it is China, put the product back on the shelf. If enough of Us do that, trade with China will be affected—without President Trump having to make formal policy. He can look at Xi and say, “I can’t control shoppers any better than you can control North Korea.”

   Surely, buying from a source other than China, even if it is slightly more expensive, is cheaper than war.

3. Most folks, including me, use Mylar inside food grade buckets. Suck out most of the air using your vacuum sealer or just a vacuum, add oxygen absorbers and heat seal. The bags will “suck down” over night indicating that the bag is sealed and free from most of the oxygen
