Best Answer

The Mennonite farmers that settled the American Midwest in the late 1870's brought with them from Russia a type of hard winter wheat that is known as "turkey red wheat".

Hard Red Winter - Hard, brownish, mellow high-protein wheat used for bread, hard baked goods and as an adjunct in other flours to increase protein in pastry flour for pie crusts. Some brands of unbleached all-purpose flours are commonly made from hard red winter wheat alone. It is primarily traded by the Kansas City Board of Trade.

Why did the mennonites move to US and Canada?

The Mennonites that settled in the US and Canada came in the late 1800s after the US Civil War had ended and as the midwest was being crossed by the new railroad companies. These companies sent representatives to Russia to offer new land in the US and Canada to Mennonites. These Russian Mennonites farmers were at that time being conscripted into Russian military service against the belief against war. So they left Russia for the new world. They brought with them the hard winter wheat that they developed in Russia, and proved to be valuable in the US and Canada as well.
