Governor Moral claimed Apalache once supplied all of Cuba with wheat, barley, and rye
Ninety years later, Spanish promoters of Florida resettlement projects would spread stories about the large quantities of wheat and other European grains that the Indians and floridanos had once cultivated for export. Governor Francisco del Moral Sanchez would say that before the loss of the provinces, the land had produced wheat, barley, and rye in such abundance that the "island of Havana" was entirely supplied (Moral Sanchez, 1735c).
