‘Bill Brown’ (Reg. No. CV‐133, PI 653260) hard red winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station and released in August 2007 through an exclusive marketing agreement with the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation. In addition to researchers at Colorado State University (CSU), USDA‐ARS researchers at Manhattan, KS, St. Paul, MN, and Pullman, WA, participated in the development of Bill Brown. Bill Brown was selected from the cross ‘Yumar’/‘Arlin’ made in 1997 at Fort Collins, CO. Bill Brown was selected as an F 5:6 line reselection in Yuma, AZ, in May 2003 and assigned experimental line number CO01385‐A1. Bill Brown was released because of its superior grain yield under nonirrigated and irrigated production in eastern Colorado, high grain volume weight, resistance to leaf ( Puccinia triticina Eriks.) and stripe rust ( P. striiformis Westend.), and superior milling and bread baking quality. The name Bill Brown was chosen to honor the memory of former CSU Extension Plant Pathologist Dr. William M. Brown.
