South Carolina grain markets
South Carolina's principal cash crops include soybeans, corn, wheat, and grain sorghum, with much of the production located in the Coastal Plain and central parts of the state. Poultry feeding, feed mills, local elevators, and grain movement through rail and port channels help shape cash bids. Crop acreage and delivery patterns can vary between the lower, central, and upper portions of the state because growing seasons and outlet access differ. Wheat is typically harvested from late spring into early summer, with corn, sorghum, and soybeans harvested from summer through fall.
