(Legumes used for their edible dry seed are included in the section on pulses.) True cereal grains are members of the grass family; other crops used as grains are called pseudo-cereals. Grains are used chiefly in the production of breads. The seed of grain crops are normally milled to produce flour, but sometimes are softened by cooking and/or chemical treatment. Most have a high protein content, accompanied by a good content of B vitamins. Some have a fair to high oil content and/or vitamin E. In addition, most have good quantities of carbohydrates, usually as starch. Varietal differences are important in grains because individual cultivars have particular seasonal and climatic adaptations. Crops are usually planted during the wet season and mature during dry weather.

Plant Hibiscus Plant By Kate Sheridan eHow Contributor updated: January 13, 2010 I want to do this! What's This? Grain crops have been a mainstay of civilization's food supply for thousands of years. Grain is the edible seed of a grass plant, such as barley, oats, rice, wheat and rye. Some edible grains that are not grasses include millet, quinoa and buckwheat. In addition to humans, livestock and poultry often depend on grasses and grains to live. Most grain crops, such as wheat, rye, oats and barley, can tolerate cold and hot temperatures, poor soils and a certain amount of water and fertilizer deprivation. Many grain crops may produce two harvests a year if you plant them in both fall and spring. Difficulty: Moderate Instructions Things You'll Need: Tiller or garden spade Hoe Compost Garden hose Bushel baskets Rake Choose a sunny location that receives at least six hours of sunlight a day. Plant your summer-harvest grain crops in early spring, as soon as the soil is dry enough to be worked. Plant winter wheat, winter rye and winter barley in the fall.

Perennial grain From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Roots of intermediate wheatgrass, a perennial grain candidate compared to those of annual wheat (at left in each panel) While many fruit, nut and forage crops are long-lived perennial plants , all major grain crops are annuals or short-lived perennials grown as annuals. Scientists from several nations have argued that perennial versions of today's grain crops could be developed and that these perennial grains could make grain agriculture more sustainable. Contents Rationale Methods for developing perennial grains Potential disadvantages of perennial crops Advantages of perennial crops ... edit Rationale Cultivation often has a negative impact on provision of [ecosystem] services. For example, cultivated systems tend to use more water, increase water pollution and soil erosion, store less carbon, emit more greenhouse gases, and support significantly less habitat and biodiversity than the ecosystems they replace The Millenium Ecosystem Assessment The 2005 Synthesis Report of the United Nations’ Millenium Ecosystem Assessment program labeled agriculture the “largest threat to biodiversity and ecosystem function of any single human activity.”

Grain Crops Update A service of the University of Kentucky, College of Agriculture. Updates provided by Extension faculty with responsibilities for management of corn, soybean and small grains. Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Corn Seeding Rates Choosing the proper population on corn will help you maximize yields and protect your bottom line. Our old recommendation was to plant a maximum of 30,000 seeds/acre on better soils. We will increase that recommendation to about 33,000 seeds/acre for better soils. But, as our own data shows, picking the ideal seeding rate can be a bit of challenge. Available water has a huge impact on the ideal seeding rate. In 2008, a year that was very dry, the ideal population for corn was less than 20,000 seeds/acre, well below our current recommendations. Our yields barely reached 120 bu/acre and we felt really stupid about growing corn. In 2009, a year with timely rains, the ideal population for corn was at least 45,000 seeds/acre, well above our recommendations. Our yields rose above 300 bu/acre and we felt really smart. However, the only major difference between the two years was the amount and timeliness of rain. In both years, we used the same four hybrids, the same soil type and the same fertility. (If I told you that we got 300 bu/acre of corn with 160 lbs N/acre, no one would believe me. So, I'm not going to say it.) When you "average" the two years together, yield was maximized at about 35,000 seeds/acre. Both of these years were extremes and we rarely advise farmers to make decisions based on the extremes.

Farms: Grain Crops Some farms grow grain. The farmer plants the seeds. The plants grow tall. The plants are cut and the grains are taken off. The grains are taken to mills or other countries. Many farms grow grains like wheat, barley, oats or rice. This is a field of wheat. First the farmers plough the soil. That opens it up ready for planting the seeds. A tractor ploughs the soil. The seeds are planted. They need water and sun to help them grow. They grow tall. Grains grow at the top of the plant stems. These are oat grains at the top of the stem. When the grains are big, the plants are ready to be cut. That is called harvesting . Big machines cut the plants and take the grains off the stems. Wheat is taken to a mill. The mill grinds the wheat into flour. Flour is used to make bread and cakes. Oat grains are made flat in between big rollers. Porridge is made from oats. Rice is cooked and eaten. Sometimes it is made into flour or crackers. Barley is often put into soups. It can be made into flour. This is barley when it is nearly ready to harvest.
