Mississippi grain markets
Mississippi cash grain production is centered in the Mississippi Delta, where soybeans, corn, rice, and wheat are important crops. Soybeans are a major part of the state's grain economy, while rice and corn are concentrated in suitable Delta acres. Local bids are shaped by Mississippi River elevator access, barge movement to export channels and processors, as well as poultry and livestock feed demand in parts of the state. Wheat is harvested in late spring to early summer, followed by summer harvest for corn and rice and fall harvest for soybeans.
