Interpretive Summary: ‘Finch’, a soft white winter wheat variety, was developed by the USDA-ARS with assistance from the Washington Agricultural Experiment Station and the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station and released in February 2001. Finch was released because of its yield potential and disease resistance combined with the excellent end-use quality characteristics desired for soft white wheat in the Pacific Northwest. Finch is best suited to the low to intermediate rainfall zones of Washington State, Oregon, and northern Idaho, especially south of U.S. Route 2.
