Ohio grain markets
Ohio's cash grain economy is centered on corn and soybeans, with soft red winter wheat also important in many areas. Corn and soybean production is concentrated across western, central, and northwestern Ohio, while wheat is widely grown in rotation across much of the state. Local bids are shaped by ethanol plants, feed demand from livestock and poultry operations, soybean processors, flour mills, and truck, rail, and Ohio River marketing channels. Winter wheat is generally harvested in early summer, followed by corn and soybean harvest from early fall into late autumn.
