no, wheat has no "hanks" (the whiskers on the grain). We used to grow  
wheat, barley and oats on the farm. Generically we called all these  
grains corn, and the fields in which we grew it cornfields. I did not  
hear the word corn being used for maize until I was 20 and visited  
the US for the first time.
