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.

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.
