Grain Oil and Specialty Field-Crop Production
Field Crops § 450 million acres in the U. S. (20% of U. S. land)
Types of Field Crops § Grain § Oilseed § Specialty Crops § Seed Crops
GRAIN CROPS (7 major grain crops in the U. S. ) § § § § CORN MOST IMPORTANT!!!!! Wheat *most important in the world) Barley Oats Rye Rice Sorgham
Corn § 40% of corn in the U. S. in grown in the Corn Belt (midwestern U. S. ) § Iowa § Illinois § Nebraska § Minnesota § Indiana § Ohio

Rice § Most important grain crop for human consumption in the world. § Most grown in this country in for human consumption § It is the only crop that can be grown in standing water
Sorghum § Mostly used for livestock feed § Used for sugars and syrups. § Also used to make brooms.
Oil Seed Crops § Crops that are grown for the production of oil from their seeds. § § Soybeans Corn Canola Flax Peanuts Cottonseed Safflower Sunflower
SOYBEANS § Soybean is an important legume (has nitrogen from the soil) § Oil § Grain. After oil is extracted from the soybean, soybean meal is left over. This is important source of protein for animal feed.
Peanuts § The peanut is a pea rather than a nut.
