Abib Report: Wednesday, March 14, 2018 Hi Folks, We hope things are well with you. Arrived back at the cottage today to be greeted by my luggage. Thanks for the prayers. I will be getting todayâs report out and then work on my picture end. I think Becca has been able to get some out by going to a deli and using their internet connection. As we had anticipated from the start of this present year, we expected a traditional 12-month year with barley being able to be harvested through the entire 7 weeks allotted to it. That has been the pattern following an intercalated year since 2006. Today we traveled through the Jordan and Jezreel Valleys as well as on top of the Golan and down through the Galilee to the coast. All the wild barley growing in good soil is huge due to the recent water from Heaven in its season. It consisted of young heads just coming out of the boot (Zadok #5) through the beginning of milk development (Zadok #7.1). We did stop to look at the goat grass in the area of the Jordan Valley that other folks work with and it too was young, even roadside. The Domestic barley fields in several locations were actually being harvested for silage. This takes place as the head starts to enter early yellow color phase. Most of it is used for the dairy operations. The most advanced was just south of the sea of Galilee at Ashdot/Yaâakoy area. There were numerous areas on the Coastal Plain in which domestic fields were entering 50% color change. Some were being cut for silage as well. The question has arisen why we are reporting on domestic barley? Simple answer is some use it in their determinations and we furnish them with the conditions we find when we are here inspecting. The second one is very important as well and I will mention it again. There are traditionally early fields scattered throughout Israel. Regardless of what type of grain is planted there it will mature faster than in other areas. Knowing this to be a pattern in creation we use the simple deduction to inspect the same areas for the wild/volunteer barley as well. Guess what? It too is always early as well. There is no way I will be able to answer all the questions I have here since I have my computer once again charged and able to read emails, so I will sum up some of the main ones. The Western Negev rules as the early king this year as we anticipated based on the weather conditions there since early January. Yes, we did find wild red strain barley which could qualify to be Lev 2:14 material for a first of the firstfruit wavesheaf offering before the end of the current month. In fact, I have a sample
2 which is just sitting in my room drying without any assistance and on Friday I will see if I can split it with my finger nail. It is very hard at present but I am experimenting with it all the same. If I were to put it in the sun it would actually harden faster but that will not be needed in my thinking. Will keep you posted. For those who need to have it aviv by wavesheaf day falling in the upcoming month you will have all kinds of it in the Western Negev ready on its own, well before that. I will try to send out pictures today after I post this so you have some of them. I do have my camera now and will be taking pictures tomorrow in the Route 232 corridor on our way back from a side trip to the South. It will be interesting to see the development in the past two days then. Lots of White Storks doing their uplift thermal riding today. Fig trees are popping out all over every location we have visited. Old species grapes right in step as well. Brian, Sandra, Becca, Brenda, Tim, and ChanseUpdated Mar 14, 2018, 4:08 PM
