Default Spring/winter wheat

Hi,
If you go to wikipedia and look up wheat that will give you more info on the wheat issue, it is very thorough, it explains the difference between spring and winter as well as hard and soft and the protein differences.
Also a nice little rhyme that may help with the pound/quart issue
"a pint's a pound the world around."
All you have to do is measure out in pints if you don't have a scale.
I hope that helps.
