Indoor farming is not good for wheat or corn, or really anything where the majority of the plant isn't fragile and/or valuable. Even if we had a mini-wheat without a stem it would be hard to compete with the outdoors. But it's great for leafy vegetables.

Cheap space, lower nutrient requirements, less (depending on the crop) or more conventional infrastructure, etc...
