Material
Stackable
A sheaf of wheat bound at the waist with a twist of its own straw, the ears heavy and gold.
Entry
Sown from grain on a farm’s field in spring and reaped for grain when ripe.
Chronicle
Sown in the first warm days of spring and cut when the ears turn, wheat is the year's measure on a farm: a field that comes in heavy feeds a town through the winter, and one that fails empties its barns before the snow.
