For 20x20,mow it by hand.The tractor running over will shell it all out.You want it in the'bin',not ground into the dirt.Harvest a little green.As was said,make bundles,'shock' them(Heads up in the air,butts down on ground),let them cure for week-10 days and then thresh. the Take those buckets of wheat you already have and grind them for flour.Unless it's treated seed,then about all you can do is plant or throw away.If you need wheat for household use,buy some 'combine run' from a local farmer neghbor.Those buckets are just livestock feed.You need to know what you have-spring or winter?Winter wheat must be frozen before it gets to joint stage,otherwise it will not produce/head out.Spring wheat will winter kill during winter.Winter wheat is fall planted,Sept/Oct is best.Your proposed May/June planting date is WAY too late.We planted spring wheat in Feb/Mar.Maybe first of April if we have a really cold spring,but thats pushing it..A small coffee can of seed is PLENTY of seed for your garden spot.Couple of handfuls should be enough.Planting rates vary with region,Anywhere from 30 to 100 lbs per acre depending on annual precip. here,we can plant 100+ lbs because of irrigation and heavy fertilization. The dry wheatlands can only go about 30.Go ahead and try it! nothing to lose,plenty of experience to gain.Might get a crop,might get 'skunked'.Good luck! keep us informed.
