The reason is rather obvious if one examines the life style at the time of the early mold carvers. Wheat was one of the staples. A farmer’s life depended upon wheat and other grains for his own use and to sell or trade for goods which he would need during winter. It is only fitting that the sheaf of wheat be used to decorate and identify a product that the farmer took great pride in making and selling.” (\u003cem\u003eButter Molds A Primitive Art Form\u003c\/em\u003e, James E.
