Black stem rust has been a major threat to wheat production for centuries. In the early 20th century, a series of stem rust epidemics caused widespread crop failures in North America. The development of resistant wheat varieties has helped to control the disease, but it remains a threat to wheat production worldwide. This is the story of Mark Alfred Carleton, the giant of the meadows, and how he saved the wheat crop.
