§     How the lack of wheat in Sitka starred in a romantic story of Russian Alaska.
§     What it takes to grow wheat in Alaska in 2016, who grows it, and who buys it.
§     How much wheat Alaskans eat per capita, and where it comes from.
§     How warming temperatures could change wheat farming in Alaska.
§     What that means for local food security and sustainable wheat and grains.
