It depends on the type of wheat used and where it is grown. The weight of one wheat grain varies with wheat variety, climate, season and a number of other environmental factors. The weight of the grains i usually measured in grams per 1000 grains (thousand-kernel-weight) or in grains per pound.
The example below is based on a table of thousand-kernel-weights or TKWs* for different types of wheat in Canada.
In 1 tonne of Canadian wheat you would get something like...
28,985,507.2 grains of Hard Red wheat at an average TKW of 34.5g
28,571,428.6 grains of Soft White wheat at an average TKW of 35g
23,809,523.8 grains of Extra Strong wheat at an average TKW of 43g
23,255,814.0 grains of Durum wheat at an average TKW of 44g
22,471,910.1 grains of Canada Prairie Spring wheat at an average TKW of 44.5g
