wheat is specific insofar as it doesn't mean hay or straw for example. That's 
also a subtle difference of crop=wheat versus produce=wheat

+1, so we shouldn't map it (well, unless we are sure of course)

If the produce tag is generic enough you can be certain what the produce will 
be, but not certain what the product will be.
So you can tag the produce as the planting takes place (or after), but not the 
product.


- Example
produce=timber, if defined as cut down trees and cut up parts of trees,
can be used as the  output of a forest no mater what processes are applied 
later to the produce to make any kind of product.

let's stick to British English definitions, according to WP this definition you 
give is for US and Canada only.

_Oxford English Dictionary timber (noun) _

1.1  Trees grown for use in building or carpentry:  /‘contracts to cut timber’/

//

//1.3[as exclamation]  Used to warn that a tree is about to fall after being 
cut:  /‘we cried ‘Timber!’ as our tree fell’/

//

//

*Origin*

Old
 English in the sense ‘a building’, also ‘building material’, of
Germanic origin; related to German Zimmer room, from an Indo-European
root meaning build.

_wikipedia_

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_(disambiguation)

Forestry

 *

   Timber , a term common in the United Kingdom 
and Australia for unprocessed wood (the term/Lumber 
/  is common in the USA and Canada)

 *

   Timber bridge , a bridge made 
of wood

 *

   "Timber!" is an exclamation thatlumberjacks 
  often shout out to warn others that a cut 
tree is about to fall



Macquarie Dictionary (Australian)  has 10 definitions of 'timber' ... chose the 
most appropriate for use in this situation.
 
So a term common in the United Kingdom for unprocessed wood...


"Unprocessed wood"? What does that mean? Trees or parts of trees cut down ... 
with nothing else done to them?

Around we go...

Do you have a better definition that suits this application?
