How does one begin to farm for wheat?

Question

I am looking into my future (16) and see a possibility of farming. I currently do not farm right now. Every one up to my father was a dairy farmer, but I would like to farm wheat. Where would I even begin to start for farming wheat? What does it take? Is it rough?

Answer 1

The Little Red Hen

Sara Cone Bryant

One day as the Little Red Hen was scratching in a field, she found a grain of wheat."This wheat should be planted," she said. "Who will plant this grain of wheat?"

"Not I," said the Duck.

"Not I," said the Cat.

"Not I," said the Dog.

"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

Soon the wheat grew to be tall and yellow.

"The wheat is ripe," said the Little Red Hen. "Who will cut the wheat?"

"Not I," said the Duck.

"Not I," said the Cat.

"Not I," said the Dog.

"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

When the wheat was cut, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will thresh the wheat?"

"Not I," said the Duck.

"Not I," said the Cat.

"Not I," said the Dog.

"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

When the wheat was threshed, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will take this wheat to the mill?"

"Not I," said the Duck.

"Not I," said the Cat.

"Not I," said the Dog.

"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

She took the wheat to the mill and had it ground into flour. Then she said, "Who will make this flour into bread?"

"Not I," said the Duck.

"Not I," said the Cat.                                                                "Not I," said the Dog."                                                             Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

She made and baked the bread. Then she said, "Who will eat this bread?"

"Oh! I will," said the Duck.

"And I will," said the Cat.

"And I will," said the Dog.

"No, No!" said the Little Red Hen. "I will do that." And she did.

First of all, you need to have the right eqipment.you would need to have a tractor preferrably with dual rear wheels.Next you would need to have a planter that isnt to pricy like a john deere or case IH.you would need to have a sprayer or hire someone who owns a sprayer to spray the wheat to get rid of insects that eat the plants.(you would need to spray at least twice during the plants development.)In order to harvest your plants after they are dry and ready, you would need to have a combine with a grain platform.you would need gravity wagons or semi trailers to put the grain into after the storage bin located behind the cab is full.to dump the wheat into the trailer or wagon, you need to get the auger located on the side of the combine out and press the dump button.

If I were you I would go for the truck and trailer because it has a higher capacity for holding your wheat.
