Wheat fields in the United States. Wheat is produced in almost every state in the United States, and is one of the most grown grains in the country. [1] The type and quantity vary between regions. The US is ranked fourth in production volume of wheat, with almost 50 million tons produced in 2020, behind only China, India and Russia. [2]
The Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station was founded in 1882 in Columbus and moved to Wooster ten years later. The station grew at Wooster, focusing on crops commonly raised in Ohio, such as corn , wheat , livestock husbandry and nutrition , and expanding into other departments such as entomology .

Wheat origins by repeated hybridization and polyploidy (e.g. "6N" means 6 sets of chromosomes per cell rather than the usual 2). Only a few of the wheat species involved are shown. The goatgrass species involved are not known for certain. [6] Aegilops is important in wheat evolution because of its
