Heraldic Wheat
It’s small wonder heraldic wheat appears in sundry places. Wheat has sustained groups of people from time immemorial. We still use it as a symbol today within our logos on food and beverages ~

As a base crop, wheat has fed many nations. One tidbit worth mentioning ~ when Russian immigrants left the Ukraine and settled in mid-America, each man carried out a bushel of his wheat, wrapped in a cloth and carried over his shoulder. This became our winter red wheat, grown on the plains of America. Over the last few decades, this wheat has left American ports, shipped to Russia as relief, and consumed by the same group of people who brought it to us and enriched our nation.Many national coat of arms and symbols feature wheat to honor it’s importance in their societies ~
