VIDA Was derived from the cross of Scholar/Reeder and is a semi dwarf hard red spring wheat with white glumes and awns. Vida is moderately resistant to leaf and strip rust but is moderately susceptible to stem rust. Vida has good milling and baking characteristics.

REEDER Developed by the North Dakota Agricutural Experiment Station from the cross IAS#4/H67.71//Stoa/3/ND674. Reeder was released in 1999. REader is an awned, semidwarf hard red spring wheat. Reeder yields well especially in northeastern Montana and western North Dakota. Reeder has resistance to the upper Midwest races of stem and leaf rust. Milling and baking qualities are acceptable.

DUCLAIR Was 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, Duclair is one day earlier in heading date and one inch taller. Duclair has slightly fewer solid stems that Choteau and generally has more solid stems than Fortuna. Duclair is resistant to the revalent races of stem rust in Montana. Duclair exhibits good milling and baking traits.

LANNING Was 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 damaged caused by 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 LC. NS Presser CLP is a two-gene Clearfield wheat intended for use with the selective imidazolinone herbicide imazamox (Beyond, BASF Corp.). NS Presser CLP was 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.

DAGMAR Has similar grain yield potential to 'Vida' (PI 642366), the most widely grown cultivar in Montana. Stems of Dagmar are more solid than those of Vida, suggesting increased resistance to wheat stem sawfly. Dagmar has higher grain protein and stronger gluten than Vida.

All varieties are covered by PVP and research fees are collected for VIDA, DUCLAIR, LANNING, and DAGMAR.
