 Wheat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wheat is planted to a limited extent as a forage crop for livestock and the straw can be used as a ruminant fodder component or as a construction material for roofing thatch.
Yields of wheat continued to increase, as new land came under cultivation and with improved agricultural husbandry involving the use of fertilizers, threshing machines and reaping machines (the 'combine harvester'), tractor-draw cultivators and planters, and better varieties (see green revolution and Norin 10 wheat).
Wheat is widely cultivated as a cash crop because it produces a good yield per unit area, grows well in a temperate climate even with a moderately short growing season, and yields a versatile, high-quality flour that is widely used in baking.
