Hard red winter wheat is a cold-hardy cereal grain commonly used for flour production, cover cropping, wildlife food plots, and erosion control. It is typically planted in fall where it overwinters and resumes growth in spring. The crop forms dense roots that help improve soil structure and suppress weeds. It produces significant biomass and can be tilled under as green manure or harvested for grain. For cover crop use, terminate before seed heads fully mature to prevent volunteer plants.

Example: 20 ft × 30 ft = 600 sq ft
Circle
Square Feet = 3.14 × Radius × Radius
Example: radius 10 ft = 3.14 × 10 × 10 = 314 sq ft
Example: radius 10 ft = 3.14 × 10 × 10 = 314 sq ft
