I believe everyone has seen what the wheat flour is, and we use it for cooking everyday. However, do you know how to plant wheat? Here we introduce the way of wheat plant:

wheat is a hardy crop that grows in many soil types unless the area is often under water. Soil, tilled at least three times before sowing wheat produces an optimum number of germinated seeds. Till the ground to a depth of 6 inches one month before planting and again two weeks before and one more time just before sowing.
 

Spread your seed by hand for a small crop, but we now use machine to do this work. Most sowing machine are available to rent from local agricultural cooperatives in farming communities.
 

When sowing the wheat seeds, the rate of one seed should be every 3 inches and space your rows 6 inches apart. If you like, you can spread a tiny bit of soil over the exposed seed to depth of 1/8 of an inch unless your soil is soft and porous. The wheat seeds will fall into the low areas where they will quickly develop roots.
 

The above is the process of wheat plant, the rest you have to do is waiting the wheat harvest, then grind them to wheat flour.
