Seager Wheeler Farm and its collection

Seager Wheeler Farm
Source

Seager Wheeler's Maple Grove Farm is recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada. This farm was owned and operated by the renowned agronomist Seager Wheeler, who was also known as the 'Wheat King of the Prairies' or 'The Wheat Wizard of Rosthern'. Wheeler was instrumental in developing dry land farming techniques and creating wheat strains that could thrive in the prairie climate, characterized by a short growing season and harsh winters.

Role of the Seager Wheeler Historic Farm Society

The Seager Wheeler Historic Farm Society purchased the farm in 1996 and has since opened it to the public. The society presents the farming techniques, tools, and the pursuit of prairie wheats and fruits by Seager Wheeler on the restored homestead. This offers visitors an authentic glimpse into the life and work of this pioneering agronomist.
