Wheat People: The Wheat Game

You're planting 2137.

Next, you've got to decide about herbicide (a chemical that destroys weeds).

Mustards and cheat grass are types of weeds that overrun wheat fields.

Last year, weeds choked out your wheat and reduced yields. The elevator paid less for the grain because it was filled with weeds. You're worried it will happen again.

But herbicide is expensive. It costs around $10 per acre.

Will you use herbicide on your field?

Yes | No
