" Alaska Fairbanks have been studying whether it's possible to develop a more resilient type of wheat that matures quickly and is suitable for Alaska climates". For years the state has been pouring money into the UAA agricultural department and just now they are studying spring wheat? What's been going on. Sure they put out nice little brochures that can be obtained from Minnesota or Michigan or Canada or where ever but the studies from UAA with all of their equipment and people is very poor. I went in once to the Palmer office for some blueberry questions and and left with their parting remark of "If you find out something let us know". The extension service is very good and helpful but the PHD's studying their little grasses should have been studying something useful like edibles but of course that's only an opinion of an observer over the years..
