Spring Wheat

• Hiline - A semidwarf, hard red spring wheat. Its kernels are red, ovate and short with a mid-length brush. Hiline is resistant to lodging and the prevalent races of stem rust found in Montana. The milling and baking quality of this variety is very acceptable to industry.
  
  
• McNeal - A semidwarf, hard red spring wheat with red chaff and tan straw. Under Montana growing conditions McNeal is moderately resistant to lodging. It is also moderately resistant to prevalent races of stem rust and wheat streak mosaic virus. McNeal's milling and baking qualities are acceptable by industry.
  
  
• Fortuna - A beardless variety with white chaff and straw. It is a solid-stemmed variety, resistant to the wheat stem sawfly. Fortuna is a relatively high yielding variety with superior milling properties, and has acceptable baking properties.
  
  
• WestBred 926 ** - Could replace 906R, especially in areas where growers have experienced some shattering with the 906R variety. WestBred 926 has shown very high protein levels along with high yield potential. Its milling quality is equal to WestBred 906R. Area of Adaptation: West Central and Northwest U.S. - WA, MT, OR ID, WY, UT and CO
  
  
• WestBred 936 ** - A replacement for WestBred 906R and WestBred 926 in irrigated and high rainfall areas. WestBred 936 is an improvement in grain yield and in bread making quality. It is also more resistant to shattering. WestBred 936 is less tolerant to dryland root rot, powdery mildew and scab. Area of Adaptation: Irrigated and high rainfall, non-sawfly areas of MT, WA, ID, OR, UT, WY and CO
  
  
• Fergus * - A red chaffed, semidwarf, hard red spring wheat with an awned, lax and oblong spike. The stems and leaves have a waxy bloom. Seeds are mid-long, mid-wide and elliptical with rounded cheeks. The kernel has a mid-sized germ and mid-long brush with no collar.
  
  
• Express ** - Has shown consistently high yield performance in irrigated and high rainfall dryland areas. Its good standability and shatter and disease resistance, combined with its acceptable milling and baking qualities, make Express an excellent choice for growers in the Pacific Northwest. Area of Adaptation: WA, MT, OR, ID, WY, UT, CO, Western ND and Western SD
  
  
• Hank ** - A highly versatile, hard red spring wheat with excellent Hessian fly tolerance and good tolerance to Fargo and Avenge wild oat herbicides. Hank has shown outstanding yield and protein potential in moderate to high rainfall areas. Hank also proves to have very good milling and baking characteristics. Area of Adaptation: Northwest U.S. - WA, MT, OR, ID, WY, UT and CO
  
  

Winter Wheat

• Morgan ** - A hard red winter wheat that is a winter-hardy, good protein wheat for Northern Montana and Western North Dakota. Area of Adaptation: Dryland and Irrigated areas of MT and western ND
  
  
• Tiber - A standard height hard red winter wheat variety. It is a bearded, brown chaffed, stiff-strawed variety. It has high yield potential, good shatter resistance and good winter hardiness. Tiber has moderate resistance to the leaf spot complex. This variety has average milling and baking quality.
  
  
• Neeley - A semidwarf variety with intermediate maturity. The spikes are fusiform and mid-dense, have white awns and white glumes and are erect to inclined. Neeley has average winter-hardiness.
  
  

Barley

• Gallatin - A two-row, rough-awned spring barley. The spike is mid-long, mid-lax and semi-nodding prior to maturity. The awn glumes are equal to the length of the hair-covered glume. The rachis is edged with hairs. The kernels are mid-sized with short rachilla hairs. Gallatin is well-adapted on dryland and irrigated land in the Pacific Northwest and the Northern Great Plains.
  
  
• Baronesse ** - A two-row feed barley that has produced excellent yields and heavy test weight in both irrigated and dryland regions. Area of Adaptation: WA, MT, OR, ID, WY, UT, CO, SD and Western ND
  
  
• WestBred 501 ** - A high protein barley that is usually 1.0 to 1.5 percent higher in protein than most other varieties. It has a thin hull and plump seed that makes it roll well in a feed mill. WestBred 501 has excellent lodging resistance, even under high yields. Area of Adaptation: Northwest - WA, MT, OR, ID, WY, UT and CO
  
  
• WestBred Medallion ** - A high yielding barley that has shown better yield stability than WestBred Gustoe over a period of six years in 26 yield locations. Area of Adaptation: Northwest and West Central U.S. - WA, MT, OR, ID, WY, UT and CO
  
  
• Nebula ** - A six-row feed barley that has shown excellent yield potential in concert with very high test weights in irrigated, intensive management situations. Area of Adaptation: Western U.S. - WA, MT, OR, ID, WY, UT and CO
  
  
• Xena ** - A two-row, standard height hulled spring feed barley, with midseason maturity. Its stem has a waxy coating, closed collar with a straight neck. Its seed is mid-long, wrinkled with white aleurone.
  
  
• Harrington - A two-row malting barley with a long, rough awn and a white aleurone. It has a tendency for kernel skinning unless carefully threshed. This variety has been accepted for malting in Montana by the American Malting Barley Association.
  
  

Hay Barley

• Westford ** - A hooded variety that has produced 2950 lbs/acre more forage than the variety Horsford. Seed production for Westford equals that of Horsford. Area of Adaptation: Northwest U.S. - WA, MT, OR, ID and Western ND, and prairie provinces of Canada
  
  
• Haybet - A beardless two-row variety for irrigated or dryland. Irrigated yields and maturity fall between Westford and Horsford.
  
  
• Horsford - An early maturing, six-row hooded hay barley for irrigated or dryland. Horsford will take more stress than some of the other varieties of beardless barleys.
  
  

Oats

• Otana - For irrigated or dryland, Otana is a mid-tall and medium maturity variety for grain or hay. It has good test weights and yields.
  
  
• Monida - A cross from Otana and Cayuse, for irrigated or dryland. Monida may fit dryland slightly better than Otana, but its other characteristics are similar.
  
  
• Ajay - A grain variety that is much shorter and generally yields 25% or more grain than either Otana or Monida. For irrigated or dryland.
  
  

Peas

• Austrian Winter
  
  
• Arvika
