[QUOTE=Landdownunder;n785106]In my travels over the years across prairies often got told “peace river wheat best in the world” any better than rest of the prairies?[/QUOTE.
That story is probably from the elevator line in sexsmith supposedly being on a currency bill after being the highest rail shipping point one year.
Sexsmith is located in the Peace River Country region of Alberta, one of the most fertile growing areas in the province. The town was once known as the "grain capital of the British Empire": In a 10-year period from 1939 to 1949, it shipped more grain than any other port in the empire.
