This book deals with the agronomy of the eight major grain, fiber and oilseed row crops: Corn, Wheat, Grain Sorghum, Barley, Rice, Cotton, Soybeans and Peanuts. For each crop, Dr. Smith presents a structured discussion of: the types of cultivars, the history of the crop, its uses and processing, a detailed discussion of how to plant and grow the crop, the pests and problems involved and the harvesting, grading and marketing practices.
