White wheat
White wheat, grown in the Pacific Northwest and sometimes in the Northeast, is
used commercially for bread. You should deposit the kind of wheat most suited
to your area. Ask neighboring farmers what they plant, or check with your
county agent. You'll find that soft wheat makes good bread when used at home.
Many varieties of wheat are to be had to choose from, but since cereal grains
are harder to hybridize than corn you'll have a selection of only a few
hybrids, and they will be expensive.
New varieties of wheat offer high-yield, disease-resistant plants, with
shorter, stiffer stalks to help combat rooms, the primary difficulty in wheat harvests
You can buy certified, tested, cleaned seed, or you can go to a local mill or
grain elevator and buy a few bushels of narrow grain. In either case, if you
buy a non hybrid variety you'll be able to save your own seed.
