3The Night Vale city council decides to help local farmers and businesses, specifically those involved in growing, making and selling of [[TitleDrop Wheat and Wheat By-Products]]. And why not? Wheat and its by-products are tasty, filling, good for you, and will ''never'' turn into venomous snakes.

9!!Tropes present in ''Wheat & Wheat By-Products'' include:
10* ContinuityNod: The massive, yet undetectable-without-a-measuring-instrument earthquakes mentioned in the Pilot come up again.
11* CrazyPrepared: There's a shelter for use in the case of a Wheat and Wheat By-Products emergency. Apparently there was a prophecy.
12* MayContainEvil: All wheat in Night Vale is apparently just a disguise for a group of malevolent spirits, and can transform into a 3-foot highly venomous snake at any time.
13* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Marcus Vanston is exempt from all taxes in Night Vale due to being its wealthiest citizen.
14* UndesirablePrize: The prize for writing the best Sorrow Song at Night Vale's annual Sorrow Song Festival is to be drowned in a vat full of the audience's tears.
15* UnPerson: The punishment for selling discount bloodstones in Night Vale is erasure from recorded history. Those buying them, on the other hand, are "just" summarily executed.
