Did you know...

Wheat likes to be grown in fairly dry and mild climates! A tractor-drawn machine called a drill is used to plant wheat seed. Long narrow channels (furrows) are dug by the drill. At the same time, it drops seeds into the furrows and covers them with soil. Fertilizer can also be dropped into the furrow along with the seed.

 How do you know when it's time to harvest wheat? Well,  you will notice the heads of the wheat will fall over or if you were to break open the wheat the seed would be hard and crunchy!. You do not want more than 15% moisture in the wheat  at the time of harvesting.

Foods made with wheat are a major part of the diet for over a third of the world's people. In fact, wheat can be found in some form at almost every meal. Breads, cookies, cakes, crackers, macaroni, spaghetti, and other forms of pasta are made from flour, which is ground up kernels of wheat.

There are 14 flour mills in Ontario, two of which are right here in Niagara, supplying flour to the countless bakerys across canada and around the world.
