Anyone Live Next To A Wheat Field?

OK, long story short version....

I sold my house (gotta be outta here the 15th of next month)

Found the MOST beautiful house I have ever seen and the bank said if you want it then you can have it!

Here is the problem....

Its completely surrounded by "pivots" and generally they grow wheat in the corners.... so....

I don't "think" it will be an issue while its generally growing, but what about harvest time? anyone know? It only has a 8 1/2 acre lot so its not like I have much "control area" I have been thinking about planting trees around the edges to block the wind, but thats going to block my view as well which is one of the nice things about this place......

OK people shoot me some knowledge I NEED IT!

Um, the only thing I can think of is weedkiller, or whatever might kill wheat?

Heeheeheeheee...oh so many jokes in my head, thanks for the laugh. :D

Anyone know if Michael Moore is a celiac?

Sorry to add bad news, but I lived next to a wheat field once (before I knew I had celiac)....it is the sickest I've ever been. Now, I don't know whether it had anything to do with inhaled proteins or anything, that's just the time I was sickest in my life. I got to where I couldn't eat anything without being doubled over in pain and I had bad tingling in the hands and awful constant eye twitches. It was such a cute house, though-- a little farmhouse in the English countryside. Another bad issue I had while I was there was intense itching in my legs, especially after a shower. Now I know it's called pruritis and it's associated with celiac-- something to do with deficiencies that make keratin in the skin abnormal. It's also related to climate too-- cold and dry (inside) in winter. It was worse in that house than other places I stayed in the area and I was convinced it had something to do with the water (could water get contaminated with wheat?-- maybe that's farfetched).

I'm not sure how much of this applies to the house you're considering, but I'd beware of exposing yourself to the wheat. I'm putting in an offer on my dream house right now and I know how it is, though. Good luck!

Loco_ladi--tis your call! I lived in the country, with wheat and corn fields and I have allergies, which I did suffer. Now I live on Long Island, with a salt breeze, which they say is the best there is for allergy sufferers and I still suffer from allergies. So, it's hard to say. For most of the year, you will love your new home. During harvest season and for sometime after, you may not. After the wheat is harvested, then they will, more than likely, use the base product for baling into straw for animal bedding and this is very dusty and puts so much into the air. Me, I would not move there. I would try to find a place surrounded by woods, something like that.

Sorry, only my thoughts.

Not to mention the fact that real estate is lagging right now and it should be easy to find something else that fits, if that's what you want.

I live in Kansas,wheat capital of the nation. Not only that, there are 2 flour mills in my town, one a block away. There is always dust in the air, we run air cleaners like mad fiends. I am looking for another job away from here but who knows when. You just do the best you can.

Well, its my 1 year anniversaary in the new house....

We has wheat in the "corner" behind the house last year, we were here for the planting.... no noticable problems...

here for the growing..... no problems

here for the budding..... no problems

here for the maturing..... no problems

here for the harvesting.... OMG had a flashback of my hayfever when I lived in maine..... solution.... hello air conditioner all windows and doors stay closed and my truck got parked in the attached garage rather than outside of the house.... exit side door into garage, enter truck put up door, head to work.... reverse on the way home, lol

Matter of fact hubby helped a friend haul wheat this year, solution.......

arrive home.... change clothes in garage.... immediately enter shower upon entering house..... wash clothes at work not at home, wasn't a perfect solution but his friend needed help and it didn't bother me to badly.

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott!

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
