W. J. White, Dean of Agriculture, unveils the plaque of Seager Wheeler Hall during the official opening of McEown Park.
Bio/Historical Note: Seager Wheeler (1868-1961) was a Canadian agronomist. Wheeler produced viable economic wheat and fruit strains for a short prairie growing season with harsh winters. Known as the "Wheat King of the prairies" or "The Wheat Wizard of Rosthern,” he owned and operated the Seager Wheeler's Maple Grove Farm near Rosthern, Saskatchewan. The site is honoured as the location where hardy wheat and fruit strains were developed which were well suited to the prairie climate and growing season. He was designated as a person of national historic significance in 1988 by the Canadian federal government and inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame. He died in Victoria and is interred with his family in the Bergthal cemetery, near Rosthern, where he homesteaded. He co-authored a book with Herbert Joseph Moorhouse called “Seager Wheeler’s Profitable Grain Growing”. His life story by Jim Shilliday was published in 2007 by the Canadian Plains Research Center.
