Red Fife Wheat
1842
Text from the plaque
Red Fife Wheat, an early maturing, high quality variety, was discovered in 1842 by David Fife in an experimental plot on his farm here. For over 60 years it was "spring wheat" in Canada. It opened up the grain potential of the West, and is a parent of the famous Marquis Wheat.
