Nebraska grain markets
Nebraska's cash-grain economy is led by corn and soybeans, with grain sorghum and wheat also important in parts of the state. Corn production is concentrated across much of eastern and central Nebraska, while wheat and sorghum have greater importance in drier western and southern areas. Cattle feeding, ethanol plants, grain processors, and rail and river-linked elevator systems are major sources of local grain demand. Winter wheat harvest typically occurs in early summer, while corn, soybeans, and sorghum are generally harvested from early fall through autumn.
