wheat field

Grain farmer's plot

A wheat field is a cultivated area planted with wheat, typically appearing as expansive stretches of golden grain swaying in the wind when mature.

The image is iconic in agricultural landscapes and appears frequently in art and literature as a symbol of abundance, rural life, or the American heartland: Van Gogh painted wheat fields in his final months.

Also spelled as one word: wheatfield.
