Who else grew up on a farm? Superman! Draw a wheat field near Clark Kent's hometown of Smallville.
Wheat fields are often used to represent America, as in the song "America the Beautiful," which speaks of "Amber waves of grain."
You can illustrate Bible stories. Jesus often spoke about wheat because it was something most people were familiar with. He used a simple thing to explain complicated things.
For example, when he said "Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest," (John 4:35, King James Version) he was using the wheat ripening from green to white as a metaphor that people were "ripe" to be taught by him.
You can bake some bread. For most of history, people baked their own bread each day. But for more than a hundred years, the majority of people have bought bread in stores instead.
Learn to bake your own bread and illustrate your recipe! Bread is made from wheat flour or ground-up wheat.
