Alaska wheat miracle promises world supply boom
A Texas Farmer reader piece extols Idaho farmer Abraham Adams of Julietta and his Alaska wheat that reportedly yields extraordinary increases in grain. It claims one head grown in 1904 produced 7 pounds, then 1545 pounds from 7 pounds planted in 1906, with yields reaching 222 bushels per acre and 53 000 pounds on hail-damaged fields. The article argues Alaska wheat is frost and hail resistant, hard wheat suitable for winter or spring planting, and could revolutionize global wheat production and farm wealth.
