Texas grain markets
Texas has a diverse grain economy that includes wheat, corn, grain sorghum, soybeans in limited areas, and rice along the Gulf Coast. Wheat and grain sorghum are important in the Panhandle, High Plains, and Rolling Plains, while corn is grown in the High Plains, Blacklands, and other irrigated and rain-fed production areas; rice is concentrated near the Gulf Coast. Cash bids are influenced by cattle and dairy feed demand, poultry feeding, flour milling, grain handling and rail markets, and export movement through Gulf facilities. Harvest timing varies widely by region, with wheat commonly harvested from late spring into early summer and corn and sorghum harvested from summer through fall.
