Wheat is the fastest-growing grain in the valley and one of the most useful cheap crops. It sells for almost nothing raw. A Mill turns it into Wheat Flour for baking, and a Keg turns it into Beer worth eight times the raw grain. Harvesting it with a Scythe can also give Hay, which helps feed animals through Winter. Wheat is needed for the Fodder Bundle, and it grows across both Summer and Fall. It is a natural crop for any farm that cooks, brews or keeps animals.

Growing

Pierre's General Store sells Wheat Seeds in Summer and Fall, and they are among the cheapest seeds in the shop. The grain ripens in just a few days, so a single tile can be replanted many times in a season. The plant does not regrow, and it is cut with a Scythe rather than picked by hand.

Wheat grows in both Summer and Fall and behaves the same in each. Like Corn and Sunflowers, a Wheat plant still growing on the last day of Summer carries on into Fall without dying. That means a farm can plant wheat in late Summer without worrying about the season change.

Its speed makes Wheat a good filler for tiles that would sit empty for a few days between other crops.

Harvesting Wheat with a Scythe has a chance to drop Hay as well. A farm with animals can grow a strip of wheat to top up the Silo before Winter, when animals stay indoors and need Hay every day.

Prices

Raw Wheat is worth very little. Silver, gold and iridium grain sell for a quarter, a half and double the base price more. The Tiller profession adds 10%, but on such a cheap crop that changes little.

The Keg is where Wheat earns its keep. A Keg turns one Wheat into Beer with a fixed value of 200g, far above the grain's own price, and it finishes in under two days. The Artisan profession adds 40% to the Beer. A Preserves Jar can make pickled wheat instead, but it is worth only half as much as Beer.

A Mill turns each Wheat into one Wheat Flour by the next morning. Flour sells for twice the raw grain, but its real value is in cooking. Pierre sells Wheat Flour for 100g a bag, so milling home-grown wheat saves a lot of money for anyone who bakes.

Uses

The Fodder Bundle on the Community Center Bulletin Board asks for ten Wheat, together with ten Hay and three Apples. The reward is a Heater.

Wheat Flour from the Mill is one of the most common cooking ingredients. Pizza, Spaghetti, Pumpkin Pie, Rhubarb Pie, Poppyseed Muffin and many cakes and pies need it, so a steady supply of wheat keeps the kitchen running.

Pam and Shane love Beer, and most other adults like it. Jas, Leo, Penny, Sebastian and Vincent hate it, so it is a gift to give with care.

At the dye pots in Emily's and Haley's house, Wheat counts as a yellow dye.

Gifts

Every villager is neutral towards raw Wheat. As a gift it does very little, so it is better milled, brewed or kept for the Fodder Bundle. Beer made from it is the gift worth giving to Pam or Shane.
