CHOTEAU - Derived from the cross of MT 9401/MT 9328. Choteau is a semidwarf hard red spring wheat with solid stems conferring tolerance to wheat stem sawfly. Choteau is resistant to the prevalent race of stem rust in Montana. Choteau has good grain protein and acceptable milling and baking quality.

DUCLAIR - Derived from a cross of Choteau//Reeder/Scholar. Duclair is a solid stem semidwarf hard red spring wheat with white glumes and awns. Compared with Choteau, Dulair is one day earlier in heading date and one inch taller. Duclair has slightly fewer solid stems than Choteau and generally has more solid stems than Fortuna. Duclair is resistant to the prevalent races of stem rust in Montana. Duclair exhitibts good milling and baking traits.

VIDA - Derived from the cross of Scholar/Reeder and is a semidwarf hard red spring wheat with white glumes and awns. Vida is moderatley resistant to leaf and stripe rust, but is moderatley susceptible to stem rust. Vida has good milling and baking characteristics

WB9879CLP - Derived from the cross of Choteau*3//Choteau/IMI8134 made in 2004 to be used as a two gene Clearfield wheat. WB9879CLP exhibits acceptable milling and baking quality traits similar to Choteau. WB9879CLP is currently licensed to WestBred, a unit of Monsanto

EGAN - Has resistance to the orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM). Egan has shown good yield potential in northwestern Montana, and has relatively high grain protein content and resistance to stripe rust. Egan should be grown in a blend with a OWBM susceptible variety (90% Egan - 10% susceptible) to lessen the possibility that the OWBM will overcome the resistance

LANNING - Released by the Montana Agricultural Experiment station due to its yield potential in dryland areas of Montana and its superior end-use quality. Lanning was derived from the cross 'Glenn'/MT0747 by single seed descent beginning in the F2 generation. Lanning has grain yield similar to 'Vida' with higher grain protein and stronger gluten characteristics than Vida. Lanning is hollow-stemmed, suggesting that it will be susceptible to damage cuased by the wheat stem sawfly.

NS PRESSER CLP - A hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and released in 2016 to the commercial partner Northern Seed LLC. NS Presser CLP is a two-gene developed by a single backcross of alleles for resistance to the imidazolinone herbicide class into the recurrent parent 'Vida'. Yield trials at sites in Montana showed that NS Presser CLP has yield potential under dryland production similar to Vida.

All varieties are cofered by PVP and resarch fees are collected for (CHOTEAU, DUCLAIR, VIDA, EGAN, and LANNING).
