| | Spring wheat is planted in the spring, and winter wheat is planted in the fall and shoots up the next spring to mature that summer. | | | It was the cultivation of grains--members of the grass family--that made civilization possible.1 Since wheat is one of the oldest known grains, its cultivation is as old as civilization itself. | | | Botonists have identified almost 30,000 varieties of wheat, which are assigned to one of several classifications according to their planting schedule and nutrient composition3--hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red winter, durum, hard white and soft white. |

| | View the 1998 location of wheat planted area for each of the five classes of wheat. | | | During the early 2000s, wheat ranked third among U.S. field crops in both planted acreage and gross farm receipts, behind corn and soybeans. | | | U.S. wheat harvested area has dropped off 28 million acres, or nearly one-third from its peak in 1981, because of declining returns compared with other crops and alternative options under government programs. |

| | Moisture is the crucial limiting factor in dryland wheat farming on the High Plains. | | | Rodgers agrees that letting weeds grow after wheat harvest in the DMT system uses some of the moisture remaining in the soil. | | | Using a stripper header, which harvests grain without cutting the wheat stalk, may be even better, particularly if wheat is relatively short or thin. |

| | "What Has Straw in Common with Wheat?" |
| | Separating the relevant wheat from the "sheer quantity" of straw is a never ending task, but its neglect, as Ronald Hagler aptly warns, "is the greatest barrier to direct access" [3]. | | | But the key will be to be able to understand what is wheat or chaff - and why" [46]. | | | To that end, Robert Howard echoes the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah in giving advice to the next generation of theological bibliographers: "We must have the capacity to separate the wheat from the chaff [or, straw] - not to discard the chaff, for it, too, can yield instructive insight. |
