Grain

Small grains are important crops in the Delta because they provide a winter rotation and generally have salinity tolerance. Variety selection, nitrogen fertility, and pest management are important considerations for small grains production.

Corn is one of the leading crops in the Delta by acreage. While most of the corn grown in California is for silage, most of the corn grown in the Delta is for grain.
