Wells to organize, with the women, a wheat storage program. Emmeline\u2019s husband, Daniel H. Wells, confessed the men had tried for years. Brigham Young said, \u201cThey have continued to let the grain go; now we want to see if the sisters will be more successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Pres. John Taylor said, \u201cWe brethren\u2026should assist our \u201cfemale brethren\u201d in the work.\u201d Husbands were asked to help the women in this wheat endeavor, but it was to be the women\u2019s project and responsibility. Sarah Kimball stood and made this statement, \u201cWe have the faith, nerve, and land to build upon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">At first, the women gleaned wheat from existing wheat fields. Soon, with Relief Society collections, they were able to buy their own fields. Relief Societies, up and down the territory of Utah, were buying and growing their own wheat fields and building their own granaries. Women would watch the wheat market and buy when prices were low. Hints combating weevil, and when to buy or sell, were discussed at various Relief Society meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2547\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2547\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ldswomenofgod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/gleaning-wheat-in-the-fields.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2547 size-medium\" title=\"gleaning wheat in the fields\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ldswomenofgod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/gleaning-wheat-in-the-fields-300x171.jpg?resize=300%2C171\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/gleaning-wheat-in-the-fields.jpg?resize=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/gleaning-wheat-in-the-fields.jpg?w=799&amp;ssl=1 799w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2547\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Women gleaning in the wheat field<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The women were solely responsible for the wheat. Bishops received a letter from the First Presidency informing them they had no rights in dealing with wheat matters. The women had sole discretionary use of it and their purpose was to care for the poor and those in need. The women donated their wheat to survivors of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, WW I and II, as well as to many poor and needy. Wheat money was also used to kick-start the maternity hospitals, another project the women were in the process of creating in the valley.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Wheat Fund became a test, of sorts, for the Priesthood and Relief Society, in learning to work with one another as co-representatives of the church. It was unusual for women to be in charge of anything in the early 1900s. The US Government logically went to the Brethren to ask help for the destitute in Europe after the first World War.\u00a0 Arrangements were made without the consent of the women for purchase. The Brethren would apologize for their mistake and make amends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The wheat fund program lasted for one hundred years. In 1978, the money was incorporated into the general church welfare fund when the Brethren wanted to correlate all church departments. Sis. Barbara Smith turned over 226,291 bushels of Relief Society wheat, worth $1,651,157, as well as assets amounting to three-quarters of a million dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You may have wondered why wheat stalks are a common motif <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ldswomenofgod.com\/relief-society-wheat-project\/relief-society-logo-original\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8228\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-8228\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ldswomenofgod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/relief-society-logo-original-150x150.png?resize=150%2C150\" alt=\"relief society logo original\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/relief-society-logo-original.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/relief-society-logo-original.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/relief-society-logo-original.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/relief-society-logo-original.png?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/relief-society-logo-original.png?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>surrounding the Relief Society Building\u00a0and our motto.

The women would get together as stakes to collect money for granaries or fields.
