Foisy is a historical West Coast wheat variety that was selected originally in Oregon, in 1865. Foisy heads up and ripens nearly a month later, in California, than the other varieties of white wheat listed here. Perhaps because of this, it is relatively high yielding and the protein value is generally higher than for the other varieties, under the same circumstances. Foisy is recommended for planting in slower draining soil and in the wetter regions of California.

Beardless cultivar selected by Mr. Foisy in Oregon in 1865. Foisy has relatively soft grains, and it is broadly classified as soft wheat, and not normally expected to perform well in American style breads.
