wheat stalks

Harvested grain stems

Wheat stalks are the stems of wheat plants, the tall cylindrical structures that support the grain-bearing heads.

After harvest, dried stalks become straw, used for animal bedding, thatching, or crafts.

In agricultural imagery, golden wheat stalks swaying in wind represent abundance and the harvest season: Fields of wheat stalks stretched to the horizon.
