Hill  81 was developed by  the  Oregon Experiment Station  in cooperation  with  USDA-ARS,  from  a  cross  between  ’Yamhill’ and  ’Hyslop’  made  in  1968.  Hill  81,  identified  as  0WW68007-2M6, was  obtained  from  bulked  F3  head  rows  derived  from individual F2 plants.  Following  replicated  yield  tests,  phenotypically  similar  F6 head rows from the  F5 population  were bulked in  1975  and tested  further.  Head  rows obtained  from  the  F9 generation  were reselected  for  seed increase.
