Marquis wheat

The 'Marquis' bread wheat cultivar was developed by Dominion Agriculturalist Charles Saunders in 1904. It was selected for superiority in milling quality for bread flour over other cultivars then prevalent in western Canada. 'Marquis' had the advantage of maturing 10 days earlier than its competitors - a factor of great importance in the Canadian wheatbelt.[1][2][3]

gollark: That is a lot of EU, from what I remember of industrialcraft.
gollark: Obviously they just loaded a backup, but I got to feel smugly superior for a minute or so.
gollark: The spatial IO thing did work, except the computer system managing it broke somehow so I had to manually teleport in ahead of the explosion (it propagated very slowly, Draconic Evolution is weird and also a bad mod which the server had for some reason but that's not the point), press the button, and teleport back.
gollark: You can use an emulator.
gollark: ComputerCraft is the computers.
