Wheat can be harvested in moderate temperatures (in the 20s to 30s range).

So yes, most parts in Canada will be at a disadvantage. Which means a higher cost-demand ratio, hence, "doesn't really work in Vancouver".
But that's just me though. I can never justify paying three bucks for a head of lettuce.
