Canadian wheat
* fills a market niche in the U.S., where it is typically blended with U.S. wheat
  - United States
* is sold on the export market in terms of American dollars.

Club wheat
* have shorter, more compact heads than common types.
* is known as a bread wheat and a member of the hexaploid species.

Durum
* are plants
  - wheat plants
* is sensitive to late fertilizer applications
  - very sensitive to dryer temperatures

Emmer
- rivers
* is one of the most ancient of cultivated cereals
  - the envy of every kid who ever played sports
* relative of durum wheat, which is used to make flour for pasta and for pizza doughs.

Hard wheat
* are excellent for bread because bread needs that tougher gluten to make it rise.
* are higher in protein and gluten and are usually used for yeast breads
  - than soft wheats
* contain the most protein, so they work well as protein substitutes in recipes.
* has more protein than soft wheat
  - protein, including more gluten, and is used for bread making
* is wheat
* makes the best flour for bread.
* yields the highest amount of protein, or gluten.

Organic wheat
* has no such fluorine load.
* is grown by specialized farmers.

Soft wheat
* contains less gluten and more starch and water than hard wheat.
* is higher in protein and about the same as corn in energy
  - made into 'cake flour' and has a lower protein content
* tend to have lower water absorbing capacity than hard wheats.

Spring wheat
* has better resistance than w inter wheat.
* is especially vulnerable to the midge, but some winter wheat shows resistance
  - less competitive against wild oat compared to spring barley
  - more resistant to freezing than barley, which is more resistant than oats
* is planted in spring and harvested in early autumn
  - the spring and harvested in late summer or early fall

White wheat
* can allow more flour extraction without having the flour's color darkened by the bran.
* has a slightly sweeter taste than the red wheats.
* is the predominate kind grown in Washington.

Winter wheat
* Most winter wheat goes through phases
  - is planted in a rotation following soybeans
* Some winter wheat has nodes
  - is grown as a cash crop
* accounts for most of the country's wheat produced annually.
* cultivars frequently have poor winter survival and result in poor yields.
  - several phases
* good choice to plant in wildlife patches.
* grows rapidly in the fall and early spring when hemp dogbane is inactive.
* has almost no risk to fall frost
  - no risk of loss to wheat midge
* is always seeded after spring peas
  - direct seeded following the legumes
  - harvested in spring and summer and is primarily used to make bread
  - in the flowering stage or beyond and spring wheat is jointing or more advanced
* is most sensitive to drought during shooting and booting
  - stress during shooting and booting
  - one of the major field crops grown in Nebraska, along with corn and soybean
* is planted in autumn and harvested the next summer
  - milder climates, spring wheat in the north
* is the best small grain to use for relay intercropping
  - most common small grain grown in east central and southern Nebraska
  - yellowing, due to excess moisture
* needs two or three months of cold temperature before flowering.
* planted after the Hessian fly-free date usually escapes fall infection by the virus.
* responses to bird cherry-oat aphids and barley yellow dwarf virus infection.
* sprouts and grows in the fall.
* vary in resistance.
* works well when direct seeding into standing stubble of barley silage or early canola.

Wild cereal
* is harvested dunng times of famine.
* shatter more easily than cultivated cereals when ripe.

Cheat grass
* has fluffy flowers and seed pods, forming a soft-appearing patch of grass.
* is an annual weed that is already greening up in alleys and vacant areas.
