Annual performance of crops in the United States measured in tons

In American agriculture, the major crops are corn, soybeans, wheat, and potatoes. These crops are produced in the millions of tons per year, and corn and soybeans in particular are widely used for food and feed. There are also regional differences in agriculture, with the Midwest and Great Plains known as major production areas. Additionally, changes in climatic conditions and market demand can affect crop production. Agriculture plays an important role in the American economy, and production stability and quality control are major issues.
