Inside Crop Production
Crop production includes grains, cotton, tobacco, fruits, vegetables, nuts and plants. Different crops grow best in different areas of the country. Warmer climates are ideal for growing citrus crops; northern states are best for growing apples and blueberries and the Midwest is ideal for growing grains, including wheat. Crop producers usually work from sunrise to sunset during planting and harvesting seasons. They sell the crops they've produced, plan crops for the next season and repair machinery.
