Missouri grain markets
Missouri grows corn and soybeans across much of its northern and central crop belt, with wheat and grain sorghum also produced in selected areas. Local cash bids are influenced by livestock and poultry feeding, ethanol and soybean processing, country elevators, and transportation access to Mississippi and Missouri River markets. River terminals are particularly important for grain moving toward domestic and export channels, while rail and truck markets serve inland users. Winter wheat is generally harvested in early summer, followed by soybean and corn harvest from early fall into autumn.
