Indiana grain markets
Corn and soybeans dominate Indiana grain production, and soft red winter wheat is an established rotation crop in many parts of the state. The most intensive row-crop areas extend across central, northern, and western Indiana, with production also important in the southeastern counties. Ethanol plants, livestock and poultry feeding, soybean crushing, flour milling, rail facilities, and Ohio River terminals all influence local cash bids and basis. Wheat harvest typically begins in early summer, while corn and soybeans are usually harvested from early fall through late fall.
