WHEAT

It is believed that wheat has been milled for more than 75,000 years.

Bulgaria's per capita wheat consumption is over 600 pounds, while in the U.S. it is about 190 pounds.

The United States produced 2.2 billion bushels of wheat in 2004. Kansas and North Dakota combined accounted for close to 1/3 of the nation's wheat production. (USDA)

Kansas produced more than 490 million bushels of wheat in 1997. This is enough to make more almost 36 billion loaves of bread.

Sumner County, Kansas, is known as The Wheat Capital of the World.
