Want more wheat this year? Plant more wheat last summer.
Its not just "go put seeds down" either; a feild that's been fallow (and not taken over by trees) probably needs a year under soybeans or clover before you put wheat on it.
I've been observing local fields that have been unused for decades in some cases, but coming back into cultivation the last few years. There's more to it than "mow down the saplings and plant commercial seed." They do dirtwork for drainage and access, they've got at least one or two years of low or no yield cover crops while the "wild" seed dies back, etc.
