Glee is a hard red spring wheat developed by the Agricultural Research Center of Washington State University. Glee was named in honor of Virginia Gale Lee, an inspiring graduate student in the WSU Spring Wheat Breeding program who died from a rare, aggressive form of cancer in 2010.

Glee provides a combination of high yield potential and excellent disease resistance in dryland spring wheat production areas of the inland Pacific Northwest. Glee is best adapted to regions of Washington, Idaho, and Oregon where Buck Pronto, Bullseye, Hank, Jefferson, Kelse, Tara 2002, and WB926 are currently grown.
