This autogamous plant was jointly released by the USDA-ARS, Oregon State University, Washington State University and the University of Idaho.
Gem Russet is a late-medium potato variety for both the fresh market and french fry processing. The tubers of Gem Russet are desirable for these purposes since they have less secondary growth. Gem Russet was jointly released by the USDA Agricultural Research Service and the state experiment stations of Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
The club wheat variety Temple which was developed for lower rainfall areas, has superior test weight, flour yield, overall mill score and cookie diameter when compared with several other varieties.
