Commodity Crop Production
<<previous program | next program>>
Program Description
The primary commodity crops produced in Minnesota are corn,
small grains (spring wheat, barley and oats) and soybean.
These crops produce approximately $3 billion dollars in cash
receipts to Minnesota farmers, contributing economically
to Minnesota's rural communities and to the state as a whole.
The Commodity Crop Production program focuses on the delivery
of timely and relevant research-based information and sound
agronomic production principles in order to accelerate the
adoption of production practices that increase profitability
and reduce economic and environmental risks that face commodity
crop producers in Minnesota.
