Mr Danny, it sure doesn’t bother me if someone were to give you a product to review, share with us, and then use on your homestead. It allows me to have an honest view of new products on the market and whether I would want to purchase one myself. It saves me a lot of trial and error. Yes it is crybabies that feel otherwise. I go back to the opinion that if you don’t like a channel or what they’re video is about that day, just turn it off. Snarky comments aren’t welcome in our homestead community. Please don’t feel like you have to offer any kind of explanation to us about whether you purchase or are gifted with something. It takes nothing from me if a company does give you something. It fantastic free advertising for them. Bless you both. 👩🌾💛
I like that mill you have , I have two 12in stone mills , can’t beat hot meal just after grinding , my mothers people where grist miller’s going back several hundred years , they had mill in S Carolina and N Georgia , when some of them moved to Ala in 1840s they started building grist mills here and running other mills , my great grandfather had first electric grist mill in Alabama in Childersburg , my grandfather ran two mills , one is still operational but is for only historical, it was built in 1864 . Mom told me my grandfather like hickory king and hasting prolific for grinding , enjoyed watching , brings back good memories
@@twintwo1429 I am not worked up…. And I can see nothing wrong with the above comment other than mentioning two variety names of corn? (Nothing wrong with THAT).
Enjoying your videos after Bible reading and praying most mornings when you post this early. I learn so much and feel like I’ve had fellowship, even though we’ve never met. Thanks for all you both put into these videos . It’s truly a blessing.
My favorite grits are hominy grits. You soak the corn in wood ashes lye, rinse it to remove the hulls and then rinse the coodie out of the corn that remains to remove the lye. Then, you can either can the hominy, or dehydrate it to store. Take some of the dried hominy and grind for grits - Amazing!
@@Romans9-13 @47retta without niztamalization many of the nutrients are locked and not bioavailable. When the Spanish sent maize back home from the Americas many people died because their main food source was maize and they were basically malnourished. They didn't bring the technology with the corn. I agree with wood ash method. And water is chemicals. Seriously chafe at not wanting to consume chemicals (I know what people mean, and I agree in principle but sometimes the nose winds up cut off in spite of the face)
So fascinating and informative to watch! Definitely safer to eat your own homegrown food, you know what's in there and what's not. One thing I've learned from growing and processing my own food is the amount of work that goes into it, and it has definitely made me more appreciative of food and farmers.
I'm 70ish and have my grandmother's old corn sheller. I guess that makes us both antiques. We used to play in the empty corn crib and shell what was left around for fun. This looks like something I need for animal feed and we'll benefit too. Right now I use an electric mill for cornflour for cooking. We aren't growing enough corn yet. Maybe next summer we'll harvest enough to make a dent in the feed bill for us and the animals.
LMAO! "for all you crybabies out there". I love that statement. Why do people worry about things like that? This video will get viewed by 1000's of people. Premier 1 will sell several of these units just from your video. DO NOT cut those crybabies any slack. I already have a sheller and grinder but I'm going to Premier 1 and put this on my wish list. Thanks for the video Danny. Very informative as always!!
I seriously doubt those big commercial places take the time to make sure everything is just right like you do. It may take a little bit longer to do it right but it sounds like your gut appreciates it. Thank You for showing us. Very informative.
If you get a product for free it’s because you deserve it. It takes your time out of your busy life and I trust your testing and reviews of products. Love watching you and Miss Wanda. May God bless you both
Elizabeth from far north dry, hot California says, That was a nice chuckle about the outhouse and corn cob use! I thoroughly like learning from ya'll and I take notes. Your learning, turns around and teaches us as you learn. My, my, there's a lot to homesteading; real homesteading. Thanks.
This was so cool. I loved how the old sheller would take that cob down & shoot back up and out the side without dropping in your bin. Then looking at your grinder. Yes, it's plastic & lighter but it just doesn't "look" like it will last like the sheller But I did love your lazy man's chaffing method...pour in front of a fan. LOL I learned so much. This has got to be a MUST WATCH video. Thank you, Professor Danny & Wanda
If its just the shell made of plastic it should be fine as long as the insides are metal. Worst case you might have to make a metal frame if the insides are mounted to plastic.
I live in Southeast Indiana and I use to go to a farm about 30 miles from where I live and buy cornmeal and whole wheat flower that was ground with a vertical stone mill built in 1920 and reconditioned by the same company that made it. You could sit behind a large window and watch the process. The meal and flower made some fantastic baked goodies. I would take the cornmeal to an older lady who was a dear friend and she would make the best cornbread, in an iron skillet, that was to die for! I miss her. It's been over 8 years... and I can still taste her cornbread.
Danny & Wanda, I've been growing & grinding my own corn for about 10 years. I have a few grinding methods that I use. After I double shift it, I always have more corn meal than the grits, it's just the nature of the beast. I cook my grits in my instant pot and it takes about 3 hours on high to thoroughly cook it. We love our home grown and ground corn. I store my grits and meal in the freezer. I store my whole kernel corn in a 5 gallon bucket with a gamma lid. Thank you for sharing your new grinding machine with us. It should serve you well. Blessings.
I learn so much from you. It makes.the fact that I'm almost 47 and just really getting into this lifestyle means it's not too late. Thank you and God bless your family
80's baby here. I'm glad you posted this video. I use to help my Pawpaw shell and grind corn. We had a huge grinder that ran off of an old tractor with a leather belt. I loved the smell of the corn coming out before putting the meal in a paper sack.
Y’all, that gritty cornmeal taste is what I long to taste again! My relatives would grind their own meal, and there’s nothing like!! Thanks for taking us along!! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️❣️
What a very insightful and informative, and exciting video. THANK YOU. Mr. Daniel and Mrs. Wanda. Oh how I wish I could live off the land as you all do. God Bless you for being so innovative and loving at the same time......
I’m not sure if anyone suggested, you can buy a green gold miners classifier screen that fits on the top of a 5 gallon bucket. You can spin it or rock the whole bucket to get it to sift. Some people even use those small hand massagers to vibrate inside the screen too. Hope this helps.
I’m a 22 year old trying to learn everything I can because I want to live off the land of griff eventually and teach my kids all of this that school isn’t teaching them! How to survive!
I love the thoroughness of your videos and the thinking process y'all go through when evaluating the good things and the things that don't work so well. Thanks!
I would love to start being self sufficient but my husband is dead against it..I'm not a youngster anymore so I definitely need his help..thank the Lord you two found each other♡
I bought fresh ground corn meal once and it had such great corn flavor that you don't get from store bought but it lost its flavor after it sat for a while! I think grinding a little as you go is better!
Grew on my Granddads north Georgia farm we never grew anything but Hickory King corn. We harvest ears when the milk filled kernels and ate it boiled like sweet corn. The ears that went to dent we used the same kind of sheller.
Wow, that was such a study in corn grinding! I best be getting to it. My first Danny corn was about one third your harvest so being careful with each grinding was the bonus in this video.
Hey Mr Danny, just a thought that may help. Take your palm sander or jitterbug without sandpaper (of course lol) and with just the edge of the different sifting utensils touch them to the rubber sanding plate and it should make the sifting process go a little faster and not wear your wrists out as much. Hope it helps. Rig up a mount near the bowl and y'all will be in the sifting business. Lol. I do hope it helps. Great video and I had never seen but one corn sheller with the end attachment still on it ,my dads, until I seen yours. Have a great day and God bless.
Great video, well done. Great preview on the grinder. I have a couple shellers like that and antique powered shellers to restore. We used 12” winco sieve screens to separate the grits and flour.
I haven't used one of those in years! It was our job as kiddos to run a couple bushels of corn through every weekend to help feed the animals during the week. My uncle had a fancy motorized one too but he never let us use it as he was worried we'd lose a finger. It was powerful, the cobs zipped out of that things..
I grind my wheat and corn and rice flour as needed. I have about 1/2 gallon preground of all three in the freezer but we have pantry moths something horrible thanks to bird food a couple winters ago. I like to grind my steel cut oatmeal for bread too.
I grew up on a small farm in Eolia Ky. With grandparents that could live off the land. I have not seen hickory cane corn in many years now. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us. I can tell you that my grandparents would have enjoyed the show immensely.
Mr. Danny, that’s a good harvest. Who ever made the corn sheller is a genius plus you built the box and educating me with life skills. Times were rough in the old days but I’m so glad you can share your wisdom and knowledge. Great video.
Just subscribed. Thank you. Years ago, I used to ask my G Grandmother so many questions but I didn't know enough to ask her survival questions. She was born in 1889 Arkansas and had amazing stories. I'd never seen this mill before but I like it! And what a sensible idea it use the left over corn cob to be a spongey water retention under growing tomatoes!
It’s no ones business whether something was given to you or not. They can make their own channel. We are thankful y’all want to impart valuable info that’s been “lost”. To us. Thank you.
Been doing bits n pieces for a long time now teaching my granddaughters. Bought a new dehydrator last week as mine carked it..teaching them zucchini flour this week. Im running out of time though..wont be able to teach them everything they need so going to the second hand shops to get more old recipe and cook books. Be well all
I never fail to learn something when I watch you guys, Thank you. I'm going to use Danny's fan technique to get the junk out of my harvested sunflower seeds.
Hello Deepsouthhomestead... It was pretty awesome watching you shell your corn. If the Lord increases my corn planting I will buy one for next year. I love it!!🌽🌽
I’ve done so much with grandma curbed butter by hand n we put away so much food.. I’m lucky I ran with here wisdom but we never done corn except freeze it.. so this video was amazing.. thanks for ur knowledge.. I did learn ur time spent is what make it right
Mornin DSH Danny and Wanda 👋. Thanks for sharing another great video. That was great information. Love grits and the corn flour. Them chickens are gonna be happy. Appreciate y'all. Stay safe. God Bless y'all and the homestead 🙏✌❤😊
Wow does this give me a whole new respect for what people used to go through back in the day and what we're going to have to be prepared to do in the future. What an amazing barter item if you were to grow more than you need and trade with someone who doesn't have the land or equipment to do what you have done. LOVE watching, learning, and gaining a new prospective on the value of things that we take for granted. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Let the crybabies cry, we love y'all and appreciate all you do to educate us. Blessings always, g.
Mr Danny and Miss Wanda I enjoyed watching this corn, to grits, and last flour process and yes I love eating grits and recipes using corn meal and flour. Young people should see this so they will know where true organic food comes from.
me and dad use to do this but we took our grains and corn to an old timer who still had a stone mill. weevils were horrible . i dont know if freezing kills the eggs but i hope so. if it were me i'd keep it in the freezer. great video danny and wanda. this is makin food for real . look at all you can make out of these products . great video. gonna share it.
I freeze my store bought corn meal, flour, oatmeal, etc. as soon as I get it home from the grocery store, and that kills any teeny-tiny, itty-bitty weevil eggs that are likely in there. After 3 days, any eggs should be dead. (I return it to room temperature and store in large Ball jars.) No more unpleasant surprises when you open that bag of corn meal 6 or 7 months later!
Nice Danny! I have a similar setup! I used to wring by hand, until I bought a sheller!!! Btw, those cobs will come in handy during the next plandemics TP shortage. Just sayin' I use a Corona grinder to grind fresh. Does a fairly good job. Ill grind course and cook like oatmeal add nuts and dried fruit, maybe honey , milk...Nice job guys!!!🌽🌽🌽
Good morning Danny and Wanda I love those neat gadgets you have they come in handy makes the processing a lot faster and easier for the separation of the corn flour grits and corn🌾🌽🌽.
Wow, cool thanks for the inspiration, I see inside that thing is a miniature hammer mill. We have a big chipper/shredder that we use to grind feed and it is a big version of the same thing and ours is about the same size as the ones on a PTO grain mill, all we have to do is grind the corn separately and sift us out some cornmeal and grits before mixing their feed.
Oh my did this bring back memories. My neighbor when I was a little girl had animals that we would would put the corn through to take it off the cob just like your. Oh how blessed you are to have the ability to make your own grits and food.
That was a very interesting machine. My granddaddy had a small farm and grew a lot of corn to dry for meal and feed his plow mule. I remember my grandmother shelling it by hand when I was a small kid in the 50s. She would have loved that machine. They had an outhouse but by the time i came along they used toilet paper. I heard about the sears catalog from my mom but not the corn cobs.
I enjoyed watching that. It is a lot of work, when you process your own, but you know that it is nice and clean when you do it yourself. Including being free from toxins. I have to be super careful about those toxic additives in my food. They trigger my arthritis and fibromyalgia.
My grandmother used to go down to the mill in Ocilla,GA and she would get a peck of corn meal and a half peck of grits. It was already weight out and bagged. She fried everything in lard and made the best buttermilk biscuits and fried chicken you ever ate. The best dinners I have ever eaten were her fried chicken, fried corn, sliced tomatoes and a glass of tea.
Thank you for the knowledge. I appreciate you sharing the "real ways". It is amazing the ailments people suffer from than they never realize comes not just from the food, but the processes and methods. Organic is best, but we just don't know all of it. Much respect to you.
Wow 20 lbs of corn from 120 cobs is a lot of corn! The bigger ground corn can be considered as ground hominy. You guys could cook it if you like hominy or as you said save it and grind it down into cornmeal. You guys yielded 4 different products from 1 grinding which is amazing. What a great device and saved a lot of time.
Nothing like waking up at 2:30am and seeing your fancy new machine! My grinder is about 100 years old and weighs so much It has a permanent place in the kitchen. I am up north. Most northerners dont eat grits. My grandma was from Missouri. Must be in my blood! 😁 Thanks for educating me!
I absolutely LOVE watching your videos. I can’t begin to express how much. Every video I learn so much. God bless you guys for helping everyone learn so many things.
Danny and Wanda thank you for sharing your hard work! Someone had mentioned to me that whole corn needs to be boiled prior to preparation/cooking for a purification and release nutrients. Have you ever heard of that? Thanks, again!
Hey Danny I love the channel and appreciate what you all do but just a tip if you want true cornflour you need to grow flour corn varieties… it has a very white, fluffy, powdery starch center.. you can get cornmeal and grits from Dent corn and Flint corn but not a true cornflour. The differences are like day and night.
Now this was a helpful video, I have wondered about how to go about this process for a while. Finding out how much to plant to get the pounds you need would be a great help. Thank you for your efforts.😃😃😃😃😁
This was so awesome to view. From the grinding, my parents have one of those corn shellers, to blowing the chaff off, loved the stand for the cast iron pot btw right down to the very end. For the people that thinks everything comes from the store shelf, this is the work most won't ever do. Fine job sir. Btw, I got my AlexaPure bc of you.
Wow! You guys are hard core homesteaders. I've never seen anyone make their own corner flour and grits. I bet homegrown, home-ground grits are delicious. 🥣
No problem if you are given products to try. Helps us see the pros snd cons as you give an honest review good or bad. Helps to know of it would work for us or not. Thanks for sharing.
Very educational video, guys! Thanks as always for sharing your special talents with us all. In a future video, would you mind sharing how you use your corn flour? I have plenty of experience with corn meal and grits , but have never used corn flour.
You’re a tremendous blessing; a real treasure. I’m even more thankful to GOD after watching this for all He has provided for us on earth and the ingenuity He has blessed us with to enjoy the Life that He has given. Thank you.🙏
Such a JOY, Such an INSPIRATION, Such a Peaceful, Sweet and Endearing channel. Simply Love yall both! 💕 Thank you! The world needs more of your down to earth teaching and living! Sincere gratitude 🙏 for your influence to reach many in need of your message! Julie Ann
This is why I stick with Deep South Homestead, I learn so much. I’ve never witnessed the milling of corn. This is priceless.
I would agree. Priceless
He's going live in 3 hours.

@@buckaroobonsaitree7488 you can also use baking soda if you don't want to use lye. It works the same.
I really like those coarse-ground ones. They remind me of the kind my grandmother made with her crank grinder.
Grandpa used to cover his hairy arms, used to say, “don’t want no hairs in the cornbread”! 😉
I don't give two pig snorts how it is you obtained your equipment. I just appreciate learning how you do it. Knowledge is power.

Wow does this give me a whole new respect for what people used to go through back in the day and what we're going to have to be prepared to do in the future. What an amazing barter item if you were to grow more than you need and trade with someone who doesn't have the land or equipment to do what you have done. LOVE watching, learning, and gaining a new prospective on the value of things that we take for granted. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Let the crybabies cry, we love y'all and appreciate all you do to educate us. Blessings always, g.
Definitely a unique sheller, , do u plant a yellow corn for corn meal, or just for feed, another thing cobs can b used for is kindling in a fire
That was a joy to watch!
That was definitely enjoyable, seeing that process.. when my grandkids come over I'm going to watch it again with them🌝
Mr Danny and Miss Wanda I enjoyed watching this corn, to grits, and last flour process and yes I love eating grits and recipes using corn meal and flour. Young people should see this so they will know where true organic food comes from.
me and dad use to do this but we took our grains and corn to an old timer who still had a stone mill. weevils were horrible . i dont know if freezing kills the eggs but i hope so. if it were me i'd keep it in the freezer. great video danny and wanda. this is makin food for real . look at all you can make out of these products . great video. gonna share it.
I freeze my store bought corn meal, flour, oatmeal, etc. as soon as I get it home from the grocery store, and that kills any teeny-tiny, itty-bitty weevil eggs that are likely in there. After 3 days, any eggs should be dead. (I return it to room temperature and store in large Ball jars.) No more unpleasant surprises when you open that bag of corn meal 6 or 7 months later!
@@dsr8223 thanks Debbie. ill do it too. lots of weevils in our store bought grains
Nice Danny! I have a similar setup! I used to wring by hand, until I bought a sheller!!! Btw, those cobs will come in handy during the next plandemics TP shortage. Just sayin' I use a Corona grinder to grind fresh. Does a fairly good job. Ill grind course and cook like oatmeal add nuts and dried fruit, maybe honey , milk...Nice job guys!!!🌽🌽🌽
Good morning Danny and Wanda I love those neat gadgets you have they come in handy makes the processing a lot faster and easier for the separation of the corn flour grits and corn🌾🌽🌽.
Love learning and seeing different products to make my life easier. God's blessing to you and yours
FINALLY!!! An actual recipe for chemical free corn flour, grits and meal!! About time!!!
Wow, cool thanks for the inspiration, I see inside that thing is a miniature hammer mill. We have a big chipper/shredder that we use to grind feed and it is a big version of the same thing and ours is about the same size as the ones on a PTO grain mill, all we have to do is grind the corn separately and sift us out some cornmeal and grits before mixing their feed.
Oh my did this bring back memories. My neighbor when I was a little girl had animals that we would would put the corn through to take it off the cob just like your. Oh how blessed you are to have the ability to make your own grits and food.
This was so interesting to watch! I've never seen corn ground in any kind of way.
That was a very interesting machine. My granddaddy had a small farm and grew a lot of corn to dry for meal and feed his plow mule. I remember my grandmother shelling it by hand when I was a small kid in the 50s. She would have loved that machine. They had an outhouse but by the time i came along they used toilet paper. I heard about the sears catalog from my mom but not the corn cobs.
We use red cob to whip and the white to check
I enjoyed watching that. It is a lot of work, when you process your own, but you know that it is nice and clean when you do it yourself. Including being free from toxins. I have to be super careful about those toxic additives in my food. They trigger my arthritis and fibromyalgia.
My grandmother used to go down to the mill in Ocilla,GA and she would get a peck of corn meal and a half peck of grits. It was already weight out and bagged. She fried everything in lard and made the best buttermilk biscuits and fried chicken you ever ate. The best dinners I have ever eaten were her fried chicken, fried corn, sliced tomatoes and a glass of tea.
This was so interesting! It may take some time and effort but it's much better time spent than playing on a cell phone.
Oh my word...I absolutely love ❤ that shelling machine 😍 !!!
You are real people
Thank you for the knowledge. I appreciate you sharing the "real ways".
It is amazing the ailments people suffer from than they never realize comes not just from the food, but the processes and methods. Organic is best, but we just don't know all of it. Much respect to you.
I wonder if you ran it through twice would it break it down a little more for the grits, oh never mind he answered my question 30 mins in..
Wow first time in my life seeing this process.....Definitely a lost art for homeowners n gardeners
Wow 20 lbs of corn from 120 cobs is a lot of corn! The bigger ground corn can be considered as ground hominy. You guys could cook it if you like hominy or as you said save it and grind it down into cornmeal. You guys yielded 4 different products from 1 grinding which is amazing. What a great device and saved a lot of time.
WE had a stand alone corn sheller with a flywheel when I was a kid, and we used the sheller to take the husks off of black walnuts as well.
Nothing like waking up at 2:30am and seeing your fancy new machine! My grinder is about 100 years old and weighs so much It has a permanent place in the kitchen. I am up north. Most northerners dont eat grits. My grandma was from Missouri. Must be in my blood! 😁 Thanks for educating me!
God bless you Mr. Danny & Wanda, I truly have learned so much from you.
Josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏🏻
I absolutely LOVE watching your videos. I can’t begin to express how much. Every video I learn so much.
God bless you guys for helping everyone learn so many things.
Danny and Wanda thank you for sharing your hard work! Someone had mentioned to me that whole corn needs to be boiled prior to preparation/cooking for a purification and release nutrients. Have you ever heard of that? Thanks, again!
They're talking about hominy grit's it's a lot more work. But it's more nutritional.
My Grand Father always grew Hasting Polific corn. He started use it during the depression
Love the corn process diversity
Hey Danny I love the channel and appreciate what you all do but just a tip if you want true cornflour you need to grow flour corn varieties… it has a very white, fluffy, powdery starch center.. you can get cornmeal and grits from Dent corn and Flint corn but not a true cornflour. The differences are like day and night.
P. Allen smith’s aunt used hickory king corn to make homey on one of his shows.
Now this was a helpful video, I have wondered about how to go about this process for a while. Finding out how much to plant to get the pounds you need would be a great help. Thank you for your efforts.😃😃😃😃😁
We are working on the ratio now.
This was so awesome to view. From the grinding, my parents have one of those corn shellers, to blowing the chaff off, loved the stand for the cast iron pot btw right down to the very end. For the people that thinks everything comes from the store shelf, this is the work most won't ever do. Fine job sir. Btw, I got my AlexaPure bc of you.
Love y’alls channel. I am learning so much.
The old-timers really knew what was up. Very cool machine
Thank you so much for sharing! This was possibly my favorite video of the year. There’s just something about grinding grain…
Wow! You guys are hard core homesteaders. I've never seen anyone make their own corner flour and grits. I bet homegrown, home-ground grits are delicious. 🥣
Best you've ever had.
We had an outhouse but never used corn cobs in that!!! Thank heavens, sounds ouchy. We used the wind or a fan to clean dry beans.
No problem if you are given products to try. Helps us see the pros snd cons as you give an honest review good or bad. Helps to know of it would work for us or not. Thanks for sharing.
Very educational video, guys! Thanks as always for sharing your special talents with us all. In a future video, would you mind sharing how you use your corn flour? I have plenty of experience with corn meal and grits , but have never used corn flour.
Gotta tell you, I found this fascinating! Thank you for sharing!!
My dad had one, now my son has has it. It still works. Talking about a sheller
You’re a tremendous blessing; a real treasure. I’m even more thankful to GOD after watching this for all He has provided for us on earth and the ingenuity He has blessed us with to enjoy the Life that He has given. Thank you.🙏
Such a JOY, Such an INSPIRATION, Such a Peaceful, Sweet and Endearing channel. Simply Love yall both! 💕 Thank you! The world needs more of your down to earth teaching and living! Sincere gratitude 🙏 for your influence to reach many in need of your message! Julie Ann
It's very Relaxing watching you do the process.
Home ground corn meal makes the best cornbread, I was just a youngster the last time I had cornbread from it.
