RE: Protein level of winter wheat?
If the wheat is properly fertilized and doing pretty good, it should have about 18-21% protein.
If the wheat is a bearded variety, deer will come off of it when it is in the boot. If it is beardless, they may stay on it through flowering. They will keep eating the heads on beardless even after it matures.
