Nevada Wheat at New Orleans Fair 1885 Prize
The first prize wheat at the 1885 86 New Orleans Cotton Exposition was grown by Barney Reymers in Mason Valley Nevada. The wheat, famed across the West, was of a rare grade and not widely cultivated due to its high quality and attention demands. A fire on the Reymers ranch destroyed seed wheat, and since then the Nevada crop vanished from the state. Visitors tried to steal wheat from exposition bins, prompting guards. Remaining stock sold to English farmers for one dollar per pound.
