It originated from a cross made in 1995 at the University of Georgia’s Agricultural Experiment Station in Plains GA. Its pedigree includes GA 881130 and Gore. Agronomic evaluations of AGS 2010 were conducted from 2003 through 2005 in the Small Grain State Performance Trials for Georgia. It was also evaluated in the 2004 Uniform Southern Wheat Nursery and in multi southern-state performance trials. |
AGS 2010 is awnless, white chaffed, medium tall, with good straw strength. It has soft, red, oval-shaped kernels, and matures on average three days earlier than AGS 2000 in Georgia.

It is also resistant to predominant Hessian Fly biotypes found in the Southeastern United States, including type L. |
AGS 2010 was developed by Dr. Jerry Johnson and Dr. G. David Buntin at the University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station in Griffin GA.
