winter wheat
Fall-planted cereal crop
Winter wheat is wheat planted in autumn, allowed to establish roots before winter dormancy, then harvested the following summer.
The cold period triggers flowering.
This contrasts with spring wheat, planted after the last frost and harvested in fall.
Most wheat grown in temperate climates is winter wheat: Kansas is prime winter wheat country.
