Field crop farming involves the growing of crops other than fruits and vegetables for agricultural purposes. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines specialty crops as fruits, nuts, and vegetables, while field crops encompass everything else. These crops include cotton, hay, and grains such as wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, beans, sugar, beets, canola, hay, and cotton.
In Illinois, corn is the top field crop grown (approximately 55%), which is mainly used for ethanol production, animal feed, and agricultural exportation. Soybeans, wheat, hay, and oats are the other field crops also commonly grown in the state.
Large field crop farms dominate in the United States. Field crops have made the shift from mid-size operations to larger farms over the past 20-25 years, with today’s field crop lands being of at least 1,100 acres, and many farms having at least 5-10 times that much acreage.
Agricultural jobs rank as one of the most dangerous in the U.S. If you or a loved one was injured, you may be entitled to compensation depending on the circumstances of your accident.
