Settler CL (developed as NH03614 CL) is a hard red winter wheat cultivar developed cooperatively by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the USDA-ARS and co-released with South Dakota State University and the University of Wyoming. Settler CL is a wheat that may be used as a component of the BASF CLEARFIELD Production System with Beyond® herbicide for the selective control of jointed goatgrass, downy brome, and feral rye. Settler CL was released primarily for its superior adaptation to rainfed wheat production systems in Nebraska, South Dakota, and eastern Wyoming. It has also performed well under irrigation in western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming.
