1929 Canada 20¢ Harvesting Wheat – Scroll Issue
Issued in 1929 as part of Canada’s celebrated Scroll Issue, the 20¢ Harvesting Wheat stamp is a tribute to the nation’s agricultural strength. The striking design shows a team of horses pulling a binder through a prairie wheat field, with a steam locomotive and grain elevators in the background — symbols of Canada’s growth and prosperity.
Engraved with exquisite detail, this stamp is both a work of art and a piece of history. It represented one of the higher denominations of its day, typically used on overseas mail and heavier parcels, which makes well-preserved examples especially desirable to collectors.
Together with the 50¢ Bluenose and $1 Parliament, the 20¢ Harvesting Wheat helped define the Scroll Issue as one of the finest definitive series in Canadian philately.
No Canada collection is complete without this classic pictorial celebrating the backbone of Canada’s economy.
