The reason I mentioned private vs commercial is that the Wikipedia article (and other articles on the subject) focused on this distinction. The wheat itself was not sold and thus not commercial. The wheat never entered commerce and was consumed privately. They also describe this as farmers doing non-commercial activity.
If we do ignore that aspect, the Federal vs state regulations is the interesting aspect Wickard v. Filburn.
