What is the scientific name for wheat straw?

How much did a bushel of wheat cost in 1935?
This depends on where you live because prices vary in each state.
Which is better wheat grass spirulina or chlorella?
They are all very good for us but if I was going to choose just one I'd choose chlorella, which I do. It is very mild unlike wheat grass juice. Don't buy those expensive Sun Chlorella prepackaged dosages. I buy it by the kilo from iHerb.com and consume 7-14 grams a day (one - two heaping small utensil spoonfulls/day) in 1/2 - 1 cup of water or juice. The biggest difference is that unlike wheat grass and spirurlina, chlorella binds with heavy metals, such as mercury from fish or fillings or air pollution and expels them from the body. It doesn't remove your fillings, but they are constantly emitting a small amount of mercury gas that gets into our bodies. That is the mercury from fillings that chlorella binds with and removes via our bowels.

Do whole grain oats contain wheat gluten?
Oats are naturally gluten free. However, gluten containing grains like wheat, rye and barley could have been grown in fields nearby and come into contact with the oats during harvest or transportation. As the world's leading experts in oat milling, Quaker developed a process to ensure strict standards for Gluten Free are met. Look for Gluten Free labels on packages of Quick Quaker Oats and Instant Quaker Oatmeal: http://www.quakeroats.com/product/hot-cereals/gluten-free-oatmeal.aspx
When does Planting season start for Texas?

Yes, Redbridge beer is made from sorghum, which is a gluten-free grain. There's no wheat in it at all.
What would happen if a mature wheat crop is irrigated?
Nothing. The wheat has already completed its life cycle, hence the word "mature," so nothing more will grow if the field is irrigated. But it definitely would make a farmer mad because now he can't get into the field to swath or combine his crop because the fields are too wet now!
In addition, if the field is sprinkler irrigated, the kernels on the heads of the wheat can actually become wet enough to sprout, ruining the crop.
Yes but it needs to be balanced with other feed products so they don't get grain poisoning.
