    This study aims to analyze the socioeconomic and energy-based factors determining wheat production in Türkiye between 1925 and 1960 using econometric methodology. In the early Republican period, the agricultural sector was structured as one of the main axes of economic development, and wheat, as a strategic crop, was at the center of both production policies and support mechanisms. In this study, wheat production is explained by variables such as per capita income level, number of students enrolled in primary school, electricity production and crude oil price, and the ARDL bounds test approach is used in the model established with annual data. The findings reveal that electricity generation and economic growth support production in the long run, whereas the education indicator has a limiting effect on production. The lagged effects of oil prices, on the other hand, indicate that cost pressures have negative effects on production over time. Short-run analyses reveal that the effects of variables vary over time and that production decisions are affected not only by technical but also by structural transformation processes. The study provides a historical data-based contribution to explain the multidimensional structure of agricultural production in the first 35 years of the Republic.
