Pretty Wheat


A few nights ago shortly after Claire went to bed I noticed there was an absolutely beautiful sunset outside!  I grabbed my camera and hurried out to take a few quick snapshots of the wheat in the sunset.  Wheat is my favorite crop that we grow.  Brad laughs at me because it’s my favorite just because I think it is pretty.  I love that this year wheat is planted around our house.  I get to look at it anytime I look out my back windows J

All of our wheat is red wheat.  White wheat is also grown in our area which is just a different variety of wheat.  We planted wheat last fall after soybeans were harvested.  The wheat started to grow before winter, and then lay dormant through the winter months.  It finishes growing in the spring and summer and then is harvested mid-summer; usually around the 4th of July.

The wheat is pretty to look at any time, but especially with the sun setting behind it!
