CEREAL GRAINS
Field Corn: A North American Heritage Crop
Field corn (Zea mays), an annual crop from the grass family (Gramineae), is a vital part of North America's agricultural heritage. Also known as maize, this crop has been cultivated for centuries and has developed into a unique variety that is integral to many global industries today.
​
Canada's leading producers of field corn are the provinces of Ontario and Québec, with Ontario contributing about 65% of the nation’s output and Québec providing over 25%. This crop is not only a staple in animal feed but also plays a crucial role in various industrial applications.

Wheat: A Premier Grain from North America
Wheat, from the genus Triticum in the grass family (Gramineae), is one of the world’s top three cereal crops, alongside corn and rice. It is a staple in global diets and a key ingredient in countless food products.
​
The United States and Canada are major players in the global wheat market. The U.S. is a leading producer of various wheat types, including hard red winter, soft red winter, and durum wheat, contributing significantly to both domestic needs and international exports. Similarly, Canada stands out as a top wheat producer and exporter, known for its high-quality durum and hard red spring wheat.
