Garnet Wheat Promises Revolution in Western Canada
A new wheat named Garnet, developed at the Dominion experimental farm in Ottawa, may revolutionize grain growing in Western Canada. It matures about ten days earlier than Marquis wheat, reducing sowing to harvest time to about 100 days, and shows strong milling quality. Trials since 1924 across Western Canada indicate earlier ripening, better frost tolerance, and potential for increased harvests, with initial seed distributed in small lots to farmers.
