DOWNLOAD EBOOKA biography of a staple grain we often take for granted, exploring how wheat went from wild grass to a world-shaping crop. At breakfast tables and bakeries, we take for granted a grain that has made human civilization possible, a cereal whose humble origins belie its world-shaping power: wheat. Amber Waves tells the story of a group of grass species that first grew in scattered stands in the foothills of the Middle East until our ancestors discovered their value as a source of food. Over thousands of years, we moved their seeds to all but the polar regions of Earth, slowly cultivating what we now know as wheat, and in the process creating a world of cuisines that uses wheat seeds as a staple food. Wheat spread across the globe, but as ecologist Catherine Zabinski shows us, a biography of wheat is not only the story of how plants ensure their own success: from the earliest bread to the most mouthwatering pasta, it is also a story of human ingenuity in producing enough food for ourselves and our communities. Since the first harvest of the ancient grain, we have perfected our farming systems to grow massive quantities of food, producing one of our species’ global mega crops—but at a great cost to ecological systems. And despite our vast capacity to grow food, we face problems with undernourishment both close to home and around the world. Weaving together history, evolution, and ecology, Zabinski’s tale explores much more than the wild roots and rise of a now-ubiquitous grain: it illuminates our complex relationship with our crops, both how we have transformed the plant species we use as food, and how our society—our culture—has changed in response to the need to secure food sources. From the origins of agriculture to gluten sensitivities, from our first selection of the largest seeds from wheat’s wild progenitors to the sequencing of the wheat genome and genetic engineering, Amber Waves sheds new light on how we grow the food that sustains so much human life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1910, this volume was the result of fifteen years of study in the American Northwest. The author contributed to the burgeoning field of industrial and economic history, providing a practical manual for the entirety of the wheat industry at the time. Whilst smaller studies had been published before, this was the first general work on the subject, covering topics including the wheat plant, cultivation, diseases, marketing and production. It was of particular interest to growers, dealers and millers and was accessible to popular readers, students, instructors and experimenters.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Rise and Decline of the Wheat Growing Industry in Wisconsin From the Seventh Censusof the United States we have com paratively reliable statistics as to the Wheat industry in Wiscon sin just preceding. The advent of the railroad. We have, further, overwhelming testimony as to conditions in respect to wheat cul ture in Wisconsin at that time. In the Transactions of the Wis consin State Agricultural Society for the year 18512 we have a report on Agricultural Condition and Capacity that covers nearly all of the more important wheat producing counties of that state. This report is supplemented by numerous references in the columns of the Wisconsin and Iowa Farmer and North western Cultivator, in the Prairie Farmer, and in the various lo cal newspapers, local histories, pamphlets, etc. According to the census of 1840, bushels of wheat were produced in Wisconsm in with an acreage of acres. The crop of 1849 according to the Seventh Census amounted to bushels, and the acreage had increased to acres.3 Practically the Whole amount in 1849 was produced south of Green Bay and east of the Wisconsin River. Rock and Walworth counties together produced 33 1-3 per cent. Of the total. The four counties of Rock, Walworth, Dane and Dodge produced approximately 50 per cent. Of the whole crop.
