GRAINS / WHEAT
I came across this wheat after I found an old 1930s post card that was of the Wyoming Experimental Station. The post card showed 2 men in a wheat field with the title "Silver King" wheat. I was able, through some good wheat friends, to track this down and grew it out for several years in TN.
"Jones Fife (Jones Winter Fife) was originated by A. N. Jones, of Newark, Wayne County, New York, in 1889. According to Carleton, in 1916, 'it descended from Fultz, Mediterranean, and Russian Velvet.' Jones Fife was said to make comparatively weak flour for bread making. -USDA
