Where is wheat grown in the U.S.? Mostly in the
Midwest
Nearly 1/5 of wheat grown in U.S. is from Kansas!!!
This is why Kansas is known as the “Breadbasket of the World”.

Kansas Wheat
A cereal found in many climates
3 Parts – bran, endosperm, and germ

Harvest
A combine is used to separate the kernel from the plant
9.3 million acres harvested for grain in Kansas

The Food Pyramid
6-11 servings of grain a day
EAT GRAINS LIBERALLY!!!

Grain Elevators
Used to store the grain before milling
Grain is brought in by trucks
Grain leaves elevator by railway

Cleaning Process
Grain passes through several machines Each machine separates the kernels from
other objects Conditioning mixes water with the grain to
obtain the right moisture level

Milling Process
Milling consists of grinding and separating the grain
By using different machines, different results can be obtained
![Page 9: The Milling Process](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c35550346895dca1bb8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Milling Process (continued)
Rollers are used to release the endosperm The opened grain then passes through a
series of sieves to separate the finer grains These finer grains are considered flour

Packing Process
Different types of grain are stored in separate storage bins
Grains can be blended to form various grades
Enrichments may be used on the grain before packaging

Packing Process (continued)
Quality Management teams inspect the grain to ensure safe and healthy batch of flour
Final Product is placed in retail bags and shipped to bakeries

Interesting Wheat Facts
Approximately 3/4 of all U.S. grain products are made from wheat flour.
One bushel of wheat contains approximately one million individual kernels.
A bushel of wheat makes about 42 pounds of pasta.
It is estimated that one Kansas farmer feeds 128 people + you!
