Virginia grain markets
Virginia grows corn, soybeans, wheat, and barley, with major grain areas in the Tidewater region, the Shenandoah Valley, and portions of southern and central Virginia. Poultry and livestock feeding provide important local demand, especially near the Shenandoah Valley and other animal-production areas, while flour mills, elevators, rail service, and export-oriented terminals also influence bids. Double-cropping wheat followed by soybeans is a common marketing pattern in suitable areas. Barley and wheat are harvested in late spring to early summer, followed by corn and soybean harvest from late summer into fall.
