Interpretive Summary: One hundred nine commercially available wheat varieties are included in the Preferred Variety List, showing a quality score of "Most Desirable," "Desirable," "Acceptable," and "Least Desirable" as a helpful guide to growers to understand the end-use quality of the available wheat varieties. Given the large export nature of Pacific Northwest wheat, the end-use quality of wheat is of utmost importance and continuing to provide quality information helps growers to make the best decisions on which varieties to plant based on yield and end-use quality.
