Topics in Kansas History: Agriculture

Crops

Kansans learned to adapt new and better varieties of wheat, corn, and other crops that faired well and offered greater yields in the different regions of the state. Kansas of course is known for its wheat production, but there were and are numerous other significant crops: corn, hay, oats, and others have an important niche in the state's agricultural history.
