* 392 cups of wheat = 588 cups of flour {1 cup wheat kernels= 1.5 cups flour} * Bread recipes often call for around 6 cups of flour for 2 loaves. Pancakes, muffins, etc. call for about 2 cups.

* If you grind 15 cups of wheat twice a month, you will have about 11 cups of wheat each week. This is enough to make a couple loaves of bread and pancakes, waffles and muffins twice.

* If you grind 15 cups of wheat twice a month, it will take you 13 months to use 1 bucket of wheat.

* If you were to purchase an entire year's supply for a family of 5 and use it as stated above, you could rotate your year's supply in 15 years- half the shelf life of the wheat! Just remember to purchase 1 bucket of wheat each year to replenish your storage!
