Concept
Grain Farm
Also known as: row-crop farm, field-crop farm
A farm whose primary production is grain — wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, rice, sorghum, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa — or grain-adjacent field crops like dry beans and oilseeds. Grain is the calorie base of human civilization and the most industrialized crop category in modern agriculture. Small-scale grain farms in the directory are doing recovery work: rebuilding regional milling, restoring heritage cultivars, closing local feed loops.
A grain farm produces the staple crops that feed populations. [[directory|The directory]]‘s grain-farm entries skew toward heritage-grain operations, regional millers’ suppliers, and farms restoring small-scale grain economies in places where commodity grain consolidation eliminated the infrastructure decades ago.
What the directory tracks here
Wheat (hard red, soft white, durum, einkorn, emmer, spelt), oats, barley, rye, corn (field corn, dent corn, flint corn, [[sweet-corn|sweet corn]] when the operation is field-scale), rice, [[sorghum|sorghum]], millet, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa, teff, dry beans (kidney, black, pinto, navy, heirloom varieties), oilseeds (sunflower, flax, canola, safflower, sesame).
[[sweet-corn|Sweet corn]] grown as a CSA or stand crop is usually classified under [[vegetable-farm]]; field corn and grain corn live here.
