Analysis
NAICS 111140 is the 2022 national industry for wheat farming, part of 11114 (Wheat Farming). Census lists 1 example activities under it in the official index.
Its goods appear in 20 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 1001 (wheat and meslin). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, businesses growing wheat in combination with oilseed(s) with the wheat or oilseed(s) not accounting for one-half of the establishment's agricultural production (value of crops for market) are classified in 111191 (Oilseed and Grain Combination Farming) instead.
Census lists 1 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 111191. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
Official definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing wheat and/or producing wheat seeds.
