Our Daily Bread 09 - Red Fife http://ow.ly/U7aJ30liK2e �For more than 40 years, one wheat variety dominated the Canadian prairies. Red Fife -- the red-seeded wheat grown by David Fife, a Scottish immigrant -- gave the highest yields of the best quality. It almost didn't happen, if you believe the stories. And then, having set the standard, Red Fife was eclipsed by its own offspring and slowly slid into oblivion. Until, in 1986, Sharon Rempel set about rescuing it.

Part of our heritage here in Peterborough ON!

@urbantomatolady Is there a statue? Or a plaque?

The Bellman’s truth.

@eatthispodcast I'm not sure! I think there's an exhibit and more information through Lang pioneer village in Keene. I'll look into it!

@urbantomatolady Oooh. That would be great. Please let me know.
