Wheat types

[Tartar Horde]

I'm trying to get a better understanding of how to grow grains with regards to SHTF, and I know there are a few good ole boys on here who could possibly enlighten me. What I want to know is "what is the difference between Wheat you sow in Autumn, and Wheat you sow in Spring?" and do they both produce the same type of flour (specifically for bread etc)

Winter and summer wheat are basicly the same,.. its just that one is a hardy variety able to deal with cold and wet better,...I am not sure, but I think the summer variety has a bigger yeald, winter crop being more stunted

Thanks for input folks, what I'm trying to get at is quality of flour regarding wheat types. For instance when I buy some Italian/French bread, you know the taste I'm talking about, why doesn't flour I buy make the same tasting bread? does the flour that makes French sticks or Ciabatta's come from a different type of wheat that we don't grow here or is it all the same. The deeper I go into this I realise there can be a world of difference in seed types.

the flavours of french and italian bread is added at the bakery. we make about 50 different blends of flour from only 2 types of wheat,i will find out some information tomorrow and try and type it all out
