         Partial funding for these small grain performance evaluations was provided by Idaho wheat, barley, and grain legume producers through cooperative research and extension grants from the Idaho Wheat and Barley Commissions and the USA Pea and Lentil Council. Support was also provided by the Idaho Agricultural Experimental Station and the Cooperative Extension System of the University of Idaho. Fees paid by seed companies were also used to support the evaluations. This report represents the collective efforts of many individuals. The off-station nurseries were coordinated locally by County Educators with the Idaho Cooperative Extension System. Cooperator growers provided their time, land and other inputs for management of these trials and appreciation is expressed to them for their support. The University of Idaho Wheat Quality Laboratory at Aberdeen determined the protein content and kernel hardness of harvested spring and winter wheat samples. Appreciation is also expressed to the numerous support workers who assisted with trial establishment, maintenance, harvest, and grain processing. Finally, cereal breeders throughout the Northwest are recognized for their contributions since the nurseries would not be possible without their entries. The authors wish to thank all who have contributed to the success of this project.
