I have some raw hard red wheat that I bought in a bag to turn into flour. Can I just plant these in the ground to grow into wheat or do I need actual wheat seeds to plant?

Also once I plant the wheat do I need to re-plant the crop each year after I harvest it, or do I just let it grow back to harvest again?

Once they grow are the vulnerable to animals such as birds or deer?

Also, if a "new" pineapple farmer wanted to start growing pineapples, where would he get suckers to plant for his first crop?

I assume from another pineapple farmer, but are there producers who specialize in selling suckers?

I'm writing a book, and the main part takes place on a continent that is on the equator. I need to know what kinds of naturally occuring foods, and/or common plants are found. This is assuming the people on this continent have had no contact with other people and are literally isolated. So before Europeans brought over their stuff to Latin and Central America, what kind of things naturally grew on the land, than the people widly used?

I was raised on a cattle farm. Now that I am an adult and my grandfather is passed away I kinda want to get a few cows. Not many. I guess I'm asking, "What should I know?" How much on average does a cow cost including their veterinarian needs? How much should I buy them for and how much should I sell them for? I could never buy one for slaughter. Please help me out cattle farmers!

There is an orphanage back home in Zimbabwe that is trying to set up a solar system for their previously electric 30-meter-deep borehole (electricity is now scarce there) ... how do I even begin to know what I'm looking for? What questions do I need to ask about the borehole there? What should I look for on the solar panels? Besides solar panels, what else do I need to set this up? Shipping is no problem, there is a huge crate being sent over there soon that can take them. I'd really appreciate the help!

If the following are all planted AT THE SAME TIME, in what order do they ripen enough to be used?

Corn, cucumber, snap pea, peppers, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini, carrots celery, horseradish, leeks, onions, parsnip, potatoe, sweet potatoe, pineapple, fennel, coriander, dill, apple, orange, cherry, peach, pear, grapefruit, strawberry, raspberry, coconut, maple, cabbage, kale, dandelion, sunflower.

The climate is semi-tropical, warm, with daily rain, bright sun (little or no shade) the seeds are sprouted and the roots have started putting out filaments when they are transplanted. They are put in a mulch of seaweed (rinsed, no salt) with added plankton and dead fish as fertilizer. (quasi-hydroponic.)

Which ones would you expect would really not grow at all, or would do very poorly? Which ones would do well?

This is for a novel, so my characters are depending on this to save their lives! Please help! I want to have reasonable, realistic details. Thanks!
