Do you know that the steepness of the slope has a specific maximum value? The name of that value is called The Angle of Repose (The maximum slope or angle at which loose, cohesionless material remains stable. Dictionary of Geological Terms, 3rd Edition, American Geological Institute). For wheat the value is about 25 degrees.

Carry on.
