Description

Capri travels to Kansas to understand what makes it the heart of "America's Breadbasket". Learn about the history of the Mennonites who brought the heritage grain Turkey Red Winter Wheat to Kansas and experience some of the historical, hand-harvesting practices that the Mennonites used before the wheat harvest became mechanized. Witnesses how modern combine-driven harvesting works at a farm run by a descendent of Ukrainian Mennonites that brought Turkey Red to central Canada. See how Turkey Red Winter Wheat is cleaned, milled and baked into a sourdough loaf. Then, join Capri as she explores how science is innovating wheat production and then tastes how these different wheat types are used in the practice of craft beer- making.
