Overview

Winters in the Canadian Prairie pose the challenge of short growing seasons for Canadian farmers, but they rose to the challenge of finding a hardy and fast-maturing wheat. By the end of the 1800s, Canadian farmers were cultivating Red Fife which had excellent yield and baking quality but couldn't thrive in the cold. William Saunders and his two sons set out to improve this wheat leading to the discovery of the Marquis in 1903 by Charles Saunders.
