I used to grow 10 acres of soft  red winter wheat which is the only kind of wheat that will grow on the east coast. I never made much money on it. Soft wheat can only be used for making cookies and pretzels and all of it ended up feeding Frank Perdues chickens. Its too warm to grow oats with any weight thats why the best oats come from the far north. You want to look into growing hard red winter wheat, thats the bread wheat... Bob.

I'd like to plant a little patch of oats and another of wheat.  I want to sell it at the farmers' market as a natural unprocessed food.  Not sure anyone will buy it, but thought I'd try a little and see what happens.  Question is, what do I ask for when I want seeds for human consumption instead of livestock?  I plant wheat and oats all the time, but I don't think they're meant for people food.
