The article presents the history of development of agriculture in the Tyumen region. The main achievements of Russian scientists, agronomists and breeders, who laid the foundation and created the basis for the work of successors, are described. As a result of many years of comprehensive study of crops, promising methods for creating new varieties of spring oats and barley in the Northern Trans-Urals have been developed. Over the past period of time, 15 varieties of oats and 9 varieties of barley have been created and transferred to the state variety testing. Currently, the state register of breeding achievements includes 7 varieties of oats (Megion, Talisman, Otrada, Thomas, Tobolyak, Raduzhny, Tyumensky golozerny) and 4 varieties of barley (Abalak, Zenith, Kudesnik, Divny).
