What about the hard red winter wheat you get at the feed and seed? We buy 25 pound bags for $11 for planting in food plots. Is that safe to eat?
I personally wouldn't especially if it had been treated. A lot of seed for planting has been treated with fungicides and pesticides and that could be poisonous. My understanding is that grain meant for feeding livestock is not cleaned as much as that meant for human consumption. I guess if you know where that grain came from, know that it has not been mixed with other grain of questionable safety and know that it has been cleaned properly, then maybe you could stock it. I personally would not want to risk getting sick from eating my stores and would then not want to risk having to throw out my most important food item. I do stock hard red wheat from Emergency Essentials also. I purchased whatever was on sale at the time.
 
i'm storing for post societal collapse and I believe we will be eating different stuff then, not the commercially grown grains of today.
Same here. Even though a lot of winter wheat is grown around me here in north Mississippi, I don't see me growing it post SHTF. I feel rather certain, we will switch mainly to corn meal as opposed to wheat flour, which is what historically has been grown & eaten here in the south. I store a lot of field corn seed to be grown in a three sisters companion planting with the pole beans & winter squash. Also I will be growing amaranth but think it will be grown for the leaves (warm weather greens) and not the seeds. But I'm prepared to be flexible and adapt when necessary.
