Wheat Quotations

As I remember, the first real poem I wrote was about the wheat fields between Spokane and Pullman, to the south.

We're close to losing our essential diversity. Look at our wheat crops - we rely on a handful of grain crops and plants that we've refined and bred over hundreds of years.

I like pasta; it's pretty good. I'll even substitute wheat pasta in there and make it more healthy.

My mother made a lot of things because she thought they'd be healthy for us. There were some very unfortunate experiences with whole wheat bread and bananas. I always tried to get rid of that sandwich and eat one of my friends' lunches.

I love to bake. I like to bake with wheat and try not to eat sugar, so I use applesauce instead, which probably sounds really gross.

For, behind the scenes, halfway around the world in Mexico, were two decades of aggressive research on wheat that not only enabled Mexico to become self-sufficient with respect to wheat production but also paved the way to rapid increase in its production in other countries.

'Gods of Wheat Street' has been described as an Aboriginal 'Neighbours' or 'Home and Away.' But on set, we were calling it 'Black to the Rafters.'

The Lord said 'let there be wheat' and Saskatchewan was born

As threshing separates the wheat from the chaff, so does affliction purify virtue.

I am a Communist, certainly, but that doesn't mean I have to make films about the wheat harvest.

Egypt is the largest wheat importer in the world. In some part, this is due to irrigation issues and inhospitable climes. Egypt's dependence on wheat is also partially because for decades it has been cheaper to import wheat, corn, soy and barley from the U.S. than to grow it locally.

We're obviously in a strange environment where practically anyone can set themselves up as a pundit of sorts. It's all about sorting the wheat from the chaff, and I'm very interested in reading different points of view, and certainly different generations than my own that have such a very different world view.

Petroleum is a more likely cause of international conflict than wheat.

I grew up in a family of peasants, and it was there that I saw the way that, for example, our wheat fields suffered as a result of dust storms, water erosion and wind erosion; I saw the effect of that on life - on human life.

Newspaper editors are men who separate the wheat from the chaff, and then print the chaff.

My mom fed us a lot of processed food when we were kids, like chicken fingers, grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas. I make those treats for my family, too, but I use organic cheeses and whole wheat bread and tortillas.

The Green Revolution focused on the big three - maize, rice and wheat - and the Green Revolution did not adapt the big three to African conditions, other than South Africa, as much as they should have.

We've been able to respond to their needs. We sell spring wheat in 100 markets each year, and they're consistently our third largest (market) behind Japan and the Philippines. They pay premium prices, and they pay cash.

And a wheat thin the size of Lake Tahoe.

My idea of a good place to shop is Costco - it has these heavily marbled fillet steaks. The idea of eating some wheat thing and washing it down with carrot juice has never appealed to me.

The wheat bought by a farmer to sow is comparatively a fixed capital to the wheat purchased by a baker to make into loaves.

Why should the cotton growers suffer if there is shortage of wheat?

We really don't have the fundamental support that we had several weeks ago, (as) added moisture continues to come across the Plains states, and even in the Midwest. Soil moisture has improved dramatically for the soft wheat crop.

Most of the wheat, except that in far northwest Kansas, was in the early boot to heading stages of growth at the time of the freezes. Damage can be especially severe if the freeze occurred in the late boot to flowering stages, but wheat can also be injured by a hard freeze at other growth stages.

Obviously, that's another factor that's going to play into spring wheat trends.

Nitrogen levels in the soil are high after peas. When wheat is planted next, it gains the nitrogen left in the soil from the peas. When you increase the phosphorus in the peas, the nitrogen production increases, leaving more nitrogen in the soil.

Ninety-five percent of the wheat we grind is from North Dakota. We do bring in small amounts from Minnesota and Montana, but we don't grind any Canadian wheat at all.

If they're saying there's wheat and dairy derivatives in the oil, as far as anyone with this disease is concerned there's actually wheat in it.

If we can get biotechnology traits, we may be able to turn wheat around.

If this invisible germ of life in the grain of wheat can thus pass unimpaired through three thousand resurrections, I shall not doubt that my soul has power to clothe itself with a body suited to its new existence when this earthly frame has crumbled into dust.

But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.

Fundamentally, the increase in exports and export sales has been a supportive factor. Ideas that ethanol-driven demand for corn will continue to increase at a brisk pace and that U.S. corn acreage may decline modestly in 2006 also provide fundamental support. Dry weather has driven wheat prices higher and has raised concerns about the 2006 growing season for corn and other crops. Speculative demand for corn and other crops has also escalated, as evidenced by the daily tally of the net position of the fund traders.

If it doesn't rain in the next 10 days or so, there will be no wheat in the northeast Texas area. What little bit did come up is dying. It's like a desert here this year.

I get heartbroken flying into L.A. It's just this feeling of unspecific loss. Can you imagine what the San Fernando Valley was when it was all wheat fields? Can you imagine what John Steinbeck saw?

If someone is really sensitive, they need to be aware that this product at one point derived from wheat and dairy.

Going back to the early '90s, the mill ground 90 percent durum and 10 percent hard red spring wheat. Now, we grind 90 percent spring wheat and 10 percent durum. There's been a lot of consolidation in the pasta industry, with the big plants building their own mills, so the market pretty much went away for mills such as ours. Now, we package some durum for smaller, specialty-type pasta manufacturers.

Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call "out there.

Humble is the grass in the field, yet it has noble relations. All the bread grains are grass - wheat and rye, barley, sorghum and rice; maize, the great staple of America; millet, oats and sugar cane. Other things have their season but the grass is of all seasons... the common background on which the affairs of nature and man are conditioned and displayed.

It (BHP) had first proposed that the wheat be provided on a deferred payment plan, and it had been advised by DFAT that that would be outside the UN sanctions and a breach of them.

Pa had made only two poor wheat crops since the grasshoppers came; he had barely been able to keep out of debt, and now there was the doctor's bill.

That could give the Kansas City wheat market some support.

I think our big concern at this point is going into the fall wheat planting season there's just no moisture there.

Most analysts are on record with expectations of a decline in corn planting intentions and an increase in intentions for soybeans. The debate generally centers on the magnitude of the changes. Acreage of spring-planted crops, however, could deviate from intentions due to escalating spring wheat prices; potential for abandoned hard red winter wheat acreage to be replanted to other crops; changes, if any, in price relationships of spring-planted crops; and spring weather conditions.

Whole wheat waffles; and we had hash browns made out of reconstituted potatoes.

Where we run into problems is when we warm up in February. Wheat will be looking for moisture and may not find it.

White wheat is worth less today than when I started farming in 1972. The safety net, frankly, is gone.

Wheat is resilient. The wheat plant does everything it can to survive. It hangs on to every minute drop. Wheat is a survivor.

Wheat is a hardy plant but it can't survive everything. It's not a very good situation.

Wheat in many areas greened up in January and can no longer be considered dormant.

Yeah, but it costs 17 cents a bushel to truck the wheat from the field to Collins (the nearest 110-car loader).

The promises of God are samples of what is promised; as a handful of wheat is of the barn.

We have become too selective, too elitist, too talent-mongering as I like to say, trying to select the athletic wheat from the athletic chaff.

We knew there were always wheat and dairy derivatives in there, but they were not the protein component.

This year where it's been so dry, the wheat pasture isn't very washy. It's more concentrated nutritionally and the cattle have done well on it.

Upside potential will probably be limited if we're basing it just on the cold temperatures until we get a more accurate assessment of whether damage did actually take place. We've seen this wheat crop too many times - we've 'killed' it and it turns around and comes back stronger than ever.

What's even more unsettling is the way these people hide what they're doing from the public. They strip the labels off miracle wheat when they ship it, for instance, and say, 'Watch out. Don't plant too much and don't depend on it too much.'

You feel almost a part of the wheat when you're sitting in a combine.

An editor is one who separates the wheat from the chaff and prints the chaff.

We are very pleased with this new distribution and are especially proud of gaining our first-ever pasta distribution with the Publix Supermarkets chain, which operates over 700 supermarkets in the Southeast and now carries six Monterey Gourmet Foods whole wheat items. In total, the company's refrigerated whole wheat pasta line is now carried in more than 4,000 supermarkets and club stores nationwide.

Brandon Wheat is a sophomore and probably the best raw talent we have at the guard position. I've told everybody that (the kinds of struggles we've had) happen and that we're capable of playing better than we have played. We have eight of our last 12 at home (beginning with last Friday) and the kids are resilient and working hard.

Even though the college man raises no more wheat than his neighbor, he will have more satisfaction raising it. He will know why he turns the clod; he will challenge the worm that burrows in the furrow; his eyes will follow the field mouse that scuds under the grass; he will see the wild fowl winging its way across the heaven. All these things will add to the meaning of life and they are his.

Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.

Consumers will see higher prices on coffee beverages and even chocolate if the raw supplies get backed up at the ports. In agricultural products, prices of cereals and breads could decline. If we can't export the wheat and grain, then the excess supply will have to be consumed domestically, pushing down prices.

Corn is already the most subsidized crop in America, raking in a total of $51 billion in federal handouts between 1995 and 2005 - twice as much as wheat subsidies and four times as much as soybeans. Ethanol itself is propped up by hefty subsidies, including a fifty-one-cent-per-gallon tax allowance for refiners.

Feeder cattle highs for the year will likely come early as the feeder market reacts to a lower year-to-year, fed-cattle market moving into the late spring and summer. Feeder cattle basis levels in April and May could be highly erratic due to forced early movement of wheat cattle off winter grazing programs.

The soybean complex was the first commodity to feel the index funds presence, but wheat and corn are attracting the index funds' attention as well.

A year ago China bought a lot of wheat for the first time in 10-15 years. This year, they have not bought nearly as much wheat as last year, but it looks like in the future they will be a consistent buyer.

You're not really qualified to write about things unless you see them from the start. I mean, milk the cows, see the wheat being ground.

The wheat producing industry is already at a critical point. The next five years could be disastrous for wheat farmers if these projections become reality.

This means we did add to the U.S. ending stocks. USDA's U.S. wheat ending stocks estimate of 542 million bushels is still adequate to our needs.

A country that cannot feed itself cannot have self-pride, and in the mid-'60s 20 percent of all the wheat produced in America came into India. We were agriculturally a basket case. And 15 years later, 20 years later, we have become an agricultural power. This is the famous Green Revolution.

It may be that there's some weird terrorist out there who really wants to destroy a Kansas wheat field. I doubt it,

It's hard to figure out how to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Don't count out wheat unless it's dead. It all depends on the temperature and the rainfall that we get.

The Australian Wheat Board refused to quote to the government of Iraq prices on FOB basis and consequently they lost out. Iraq will buy one million tons of wheat in the coming days from American companies,

It took a long time for wheat to become successfully naturalized in China. It gradually spread from northwestern China to the East and to the South.

It takes a good five-day period of nighttime temperatures staying above freezing for wheat to come out of dormancy.

The value that Taiwan places on being able to purchase a reliable supply of high quality wheat from this region year after year is an example of what can be accomplished and the beneficial relationship that can develop when farmers work with their customers to promote their products,

Serbia produces wheat and so - understandably - they want to protect their farmers from imports of cheap wheat and bread. But we have our own port and think that we should give our people the cheapest prices for bread, no matter where we import it from.

I never really ate that bad, I just ate too much. It wasn't like I had to switch to whole wheat bread or something like that. I really just had to eat less of what I was eating, and I had to exercise more.

I'm not that into the fake meat anymore. The familiar texture makes the transition from meat to soy and wheat products easier, but it's kind of limiting. There are lots of great ways to prepare meatless dishes without simulating meat.

If you invade a coffee, tea, cocoa, wheat or a fruit farm what you are doing is to undermine the productive capacity of this economy, therefore causing inflation,

In the past, if I only licensed my bread-making patent to a miller if he also bought his wheat from my brother then I was liable to lose that patent. That provision was lost in the Competition Act of 2000.

Choose a variety of snacks. Try new things. Try new wheat crackers. Try different fruits. Variety is important to get a broad variety of vitamins and minerals.

As you get older, you find that often the wheat, disentangling itself from the chaff, comes out to meet you.

I pore over every word on the cereal box at breakfast, often more than once. You can ask me anything about shredded wheat.

The glances over cocktails That seem to be so sweet Don't seem quite so amorous Over Shredded Wheat

I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of God.

I am God's wheat and shall be ground by their teeth so that I may become Christ's pure bread.

Grain shipments are beginning to bounce back to levels reflective of the high volumes produced in 2004 and 2005. The Canadian Wheat Board's (CWB) recent take-up of grain offered for sale by farmers and the steady delivery of non-CWB grains and oilseeds despite current commodity prices are reasons for increasing optimism about grain shipments over the balance of the fiscal year.

History records the names of royal bastards, but cannot tell us the origin of wheat.

You know what Ken Lay had for breakfast this morning? Shredded Wheat

My husband and I go to Il Fico every Friday, and I get the whole-wheat pizza. I won't eat pizza anywhere else!

The corn law was intended to keep wheat at the price of 80s. the quarter; it is now under 40s. the quarter.

Thousands of miles of wheat, indifference, and self- apology.

As difficult as it is for a writer to find a publisher-admittedly a daunting task-it is twice as difficult for a publisher to sort through the chaff, select the wheat, and profitably publish a worthy list.

I'm a reader of milblogs, but as with all blogs, the wheat/chaff ratio makes it a poor investment of time.

He that lives in sin and looks for happiness hereafter is likehimthat soweth cockleand thinkstofill hisbarnwith wheat or barley.

The Lord uses his flail of tribulation to separate the chaff from the wheat.

Faith is like a kernel of wheat.
