Where does wheat go after harvesting?
The process of growing wheat begins with testing the mineral content of the soil and making sure it is viable for planting wheat. Along with soil testing, it is also important to break up the top soil, so that the seeds can be planted with ease. Depending on the size of the operation, this may be accomplished by using a rake and shovel, or relying on high tech equipment such as a commercial tiller. Often, the addition of fertilizing agents will take place before the wheat is actually planted.
Once the land is prepared, the seeds are sown in the furrows created by the raking or use of the wheat drill. When sowing by hand, a simple half circular movement with the wrist will spread the seeds properly. For larger areas, attaching a wheat drill to the tractor will allow the wheat seeds to be spread evenly and in place. Once the seeds are in place, make sure the area is watered properly. Wheat crops will absorb a large amount of water in a short period of time, so be sure to soak the area thoroughly. However, refrain from watering the area to the point that water is left standing.
When planting a summer wheat crop, be sure to water the area at least two or three times during the hottest months. This will provide the moisture needed to help the wheat crop grow properly. For a winter crop, there is a good chance that watering during the season will not be necessary. Test the ground from time to time to ensure that the moisture content remains within acceptable levels.
In all seasons, the use of some sort of insecticide will be a must. The exact type will depend on the season and the type of infestation that is native to the area. County agents can provide details on both commercial and natural insecticides that will work well in a given location and climate.
NOOOOOO. Try a healthier snack like a cuccumber, or a carrot, an apple or even a dandelion leaf that is clean. Try to avoid crisps that are too salty, like Wheat thins. Also, no iceburg lettuce. Please believe me, a site said that hamsters could have iceburg lettuce and I gave it to my hamster and he had a lot of diarrhea.
How much bread can be made from a bushel of wheat?
There are about 150 cups (8oz.) of grain in a 60 pound bushel of wheat (1 bushel = 0.352 hectolitres in volume, 1 hectolitre = 3381.4 US fluid oz.). When converted to flour these 150 cups of kernels produce about 300 cups of flour. About 3 cups of flour are required to produce a single 1.5 pound loaf of bread. Therefore 1 bushel of flour produces about 100 loaves of bread each weighing 1.5 pounds (24 oz.) Or, in other words, a bushel of grain berries (kernels) produces about 150 pounds of bread.
It isn't possible to tell. Each bushel of wheat makes a somewhat different amount of wheat. Also, each type of bread uses a somewhat different amount of flour. So between those two variables you can't predict how many loaves will be made.
How much water does it take to grow enough wheat to make a loaf of bread?
none whatsoever if you have irrigation or your own watering system.
According to Montana State University, both spring and fall wheat crops need between 18 and 21 inches of water per season. this will be determined further by your local climate.
Does white bread have a higher moisture level than wheat bread?

Whole wheat bread is considered healthier than plain white bread. Please note that there is a white whole wheat flour on the market.

What is the name of wheat seed?
Online: Amazon (usually 3rd-party sellers) have 5lb for $12.2. eBay sellers 5lb start at $14.99. Re-check for current prices. Other websites have them as well.
Locally: Any health food store (Whole Foods, etc) with a bulk section should have wheat seeds.
It is for making food, but buy it and then look online for ways to sprout them: soak for 8-12 hours and then remove water, rinse the seeds and remove water from the rinse, wait 12 hours and then place in planter and cover it. Every 24hr water and put back the cover so it is dark inside. Eventually grass lifts the cover, and that is when you remove it so it has some light and turns green. It takes 8 days.
at first it grew wild, and people went out and picked it whenever they needed it. They later started growing it.
