Would he go out if he REALLY had to pee?

the US IS the #1 exporter of wheat, followed by Argentina. China is the #1 importer, followed by Russia. Now, ask me about rice! I know all about rice!

According to the USDA at this site the lineup for exports is;
#2 United States 28,500 thousand metric tons
#3 Australia 15,000 thousand metric tons
#4 Canada 14,500 thousand metric tons
#6 Argentina 9,000 thousand metric tons
#7 Kazakhstan 6,500 thousand metric tons
#8 Russia 3,500 thousand metric tons
#9 India 2,000 thousand metric tons
#10 Turkey 800 thousand metric tons
#11 Ukraine 100 thousand metric tons
But they don't say who #1 is......very strange

The total area (hectares) growing wheat is;
#1 India 24,860,000
#2 China 22,000,000
#3 United States 21,470,000
#5 Australia 13,020,000
#6 Kazakhstan 11,300,000
#7 Canada 10,470,000
#8 Turkey 8,600,000
#9 Pakistan 8,090,000
#10 Iran 6,500,000
#11 Argentina 5,700,000

Oh, shit. I see tw is going to reply to this thread. I hope he doesn't give me any crap about the US and wheat and how we use it as a geo-political tool...

Do you know that the steepness of the slope has a specific maximum value? The name of that value is called The Angle of Repose (The maximum slope or angle at which loose, cohesionless material remains stable. Dictionary of Geological Terms, 3rd Edition, American Geological Institute). For wheat the value is about 25 degrees.

Carry on.

That redefines the term: beer fart.
