When turned under, they decompose very quickly. Also known as pastry wheat. If left to grow, winter wheat makes good forage for livestock; or if allowed to mature it can be harvested mid-summer.

This process is called nutrient cycling. Winter wheat is an exceptional, inexpensive and fast growing cover crop that suppresses weeds and disease with its allelopathic effect. A great all purpose crop that works three ways.
