North Dakota grain markets
North Dakota is a major producer of spring wheat and durum, with barley, corn, soybeans, sunflowers, and other oilseeds also important to the state's grain economy. Wheat, durum, and barley are broadly grown across central and western areas, while corn and soybeans are concentrated more heavily in the eastern and southeastern counties, including the Red River Valley. Local cash markets reflect demand from flour and durum milling, malting, oilseed processing, livestock feeding, rail terminals, and export-oriented grain movement. Small-grain harvest generally occurs from late summer into early fall, followed by corn, soybean, and oilseed harvest during the fall.
