+*Wheat does send the acid level to 0 when grown in large amounts in a particular area. This area can spread out to 100+ cords. What effects this has on the area in not known. Acid levels will return to normal after wheat has not been grown. This can takes days/weeks.  It has been suggested , but not tested , that the acid levels can be adjusted using lime and sulfur. That maybe an ideal acid level , can increase the amount of harvested grain from a wheat bed or cut down on the amount of weeds. More testing needs to be done on this subject.

 To use wheat for any purpose other than planting, it must be dried.  Similar to drying [[straw]], wheat can be dried by dropping it on the ground, or by placing it in a [[Drying Rack]] or [[Flax Hammock]] (up to 100 at a time).  Upon drying, it becomes Wheat (Dried, Raw) -- the strain no longer matters.  Wheat (Dried, Raw) can be roasted in a [[Grain Oven]] to produce Wheat (Light Roasted), Wheat (Medium Roasted), Wheat (Dark Roasted), and Wheat (Burnt).
