Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The early 20th century saw the rise and fall of several purported revolutionary wheat varieties, such as Alaska and Stoner, or "Miracle", wheat. These wheats were aggressively marketed with exaggerated claims and false promises. This book cuts through the hype and uncovers the true sto…ries behind these imposters. The author draws on historical documents, scientific studies, and official reports to reveal how fraudulent claims misled farmers and the public. With a focus on the techniques and schemes of the promoters and the lessons we can learn from history, this book sheds light on a little-known but significant chapter in agricultural history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
