The Oregon Wheat Commission supported development of an app for wheat producers to more easily access variety trial performance information when making seed purchasing decisions. Download the app and customize it for your growing area! You can also Find 2025 Oregon Wheat and Barley Yield Trial Data here.The Oregon statewide variety trials provide growers with performance data on commonly grown and newly released wheat and barley varieties. Our close collaborations with public and private breeding programs allow us to test promising experimental lines and often allows us to accumulate 2-3 years of data on varieties before they are released. Trial locations are chosen to capture a range of environmental conditions and cropping systems in the wheat production areas of Oregon. We evaluate each variety in the program for yield, test weight, grain protein, plant height, and heading date, and evaluate each winter wheat entry for disease resistance and end-use quality.

The wheat and barley breeding programs are a cornerstone of research funded by the Commission. The OSU Wheat and Barley Breeding programs have a long standing reputation for success working to develop wheat classes and varieties adapted to the production constraints in different regions while meeting customer end-use needs.

Each year, OSU tests more than 40,000 genetically distinct lines specifically for the Pacific Northwest. With wheat breeding, quality testing, and extension, OSU is uniquely equipped to meet the needs of the farmer, the miller, and the baker.
