Illinois farmers usually plant somewhere around one million acres of wheat each year. 2010 was an exception, though, since that year they only planted one-third as much. Yields are typically in the 55 - 60 bushel per acre range.
It varies from year to year, but in the last few years, it has averaged around 600 million bushels per year.
In the US, wheat is mostly grown in the prairie states: Kansas,North and South Dakota and Minnesota. Wheat can be grown in cold climates where corn and soy beans can not be grown. However, wheat can be grown in warmer places- some considerable amounts of wheat are grown wherever there is cropland.
One way to complete the sentence would be: Corn is to Nebraska as wheat is to Kansas. The reason is that agriculturally, corn is the main crop grown in Nebraska, and wheat is the main crop grown in Kansas.

The Breadbasket of America is when many early Kansas farmers grew corn and wheat, but the droughts and the bugs often killed there crops. During the 1870's a religious group called the Mennonites came from Russia. They introduced a winter wheat called red turkey. The Kansas farmers planted it in the winter and harvested it in early summer. So they didn't have to worry about the droughts or the bugs killing there crop. Over time production of the wheat spread thru out all of Kansas. In 1894 the red turkey wheat became the states leading cash crop. Thousands of flour mills where built to process all of the wheat. That's when Kansas became known as The Breadbasket of America.
