The states that make up the wheat belt are parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, and Colorado. Parts of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota are also states in the wheat belt.
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.
spring wheat sown in April and harvested in August winter wheat sown in October and harvested in July
Although wheat is grown in virtually every state, the focal point of the industry is in the central and southern Great Plains Region where Hard Red Winter Wheat is produced.
Winter wheat is the only kind of wheat that result in a high yield in Saskatchewan, even in Alberta. Basically winter wheat the root rots potentially maintained throughout winter.
