"Wheat" provides an in-depth analysis of the development of the wheat industry and its profound impact on global and national economies. Author W. W. Swanson offers a detailed look at the agricultural practices, economic theories, and logistical challenges associated with the cultivation and sale of this essential grain.

The work focuses particularly on the Canadian experience, tracing the expansion of the grain trade across the Great Plains and the emergence of organized marketing systems. By examining the interplay between soil science, climate, and international markets, the text illustrates how wheat became a cornerstone of industrial civilization. This study remains a significant resource for understanding the historical foundations of the modern food system and the evolution of agricultural policy during the early twentieth century.
