Why is spring wheat grown in the states of Montana North Dakota and South Dakota?
Spring wheat is grown in the states of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota because the winters are too cold to support the higher-yielding winter wheat. In the winter wheat belt, centered near Kansas, winter wheat is planted in the late fall, sprouts, and is protected from cold temperatures by the snow. However, the temperatures of the spring wheat belt are too cold for the winter wheat to survive through the winter, so spring wheat is grown instead. It is planted in the early spring, grows through the summer, and is harvested in the fall. Spring wheat does not produce as high a yield as winter wheat and so must be grown on larger farms in order to be economical.

Why is wheat a winter crop in the US but a spring crop in Canada?

When is wheat sown and harvested?
It depends on the type of wheat that was planted. There are two broad categories, "winter wheat" and "spring wheat". Winter wheat is planted in late fall so it can sprout to about 3 inches tall before snow falls. And then it comes back up early in the spring and is ready to be harvested mid summer (late July). Spring wheat is planted as early in the spring as your region will allow, and is usually harvested in late August to mid-September. The exact timing varies by geographical region. In either case you wait until the plants are golden yellow and the heads are drooping down before you try to test the grain for ripeness. The most reliable way to tell if the wheat is ready for harvest is to try to bite one of the grains. If it is soft and spongy, it is not dry enough and if you harvest it like that it will probably rot from too much moisture in the grain. If you bite a grain and it is hard and cracks between your teeth, it is ready to be harvested.
