First of all, it IS mentioned on the wiki, just search 'wheat seeds' instead of farming, and scroll down to find a picture of the develpoment stages of wheat. Anyway, it's easy to see when wheat is fully grown, just wait till it is brownish and has dark bits at the top.
For ultimate simplicity, just look at the tops; if the tops of the wheat are brown, they're ready for harvest. Every previous stage of development, the tops are green. (Note that this applies to the default texture pack and may not apply to other packs.)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is thinking "ugh", as I am green-brown colorblind (among others).
The Wiki is a lot like the forums. It has this weird thing called a search bar that people don't seem to know exist.
There are two other ways the wiki is like the forums. First of all, you have to know what it is you are looking for before you can search for it, as imprecise search terms often return the wrong thing or nothing at all. Secondly, time and time again I have searched for something that I know exists, using the exact same search string which worked the last time thanks to my browser's autocomplete function, only to be told that it does not exist. Basically, I believe the OP when he says he tried to search and didn't find it.
I looked on the wiki for ten minutes and could not find anything about farming. That is clearly stated.
Derp.
That's all I wanted. The link.

Next time you look for something on the Wiki, type what you are looking for in the search bar.

Le sigh.
