field crops
Planted agricultural yield
Field crops are agricultural plants cultivated on a large scale in open fields rather than in gardens, orchards, or greenhouses.
The term typically covers grains, oilseeds, fiber plants, and forage—corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, hay.
These crops are usually grown extensively with mechanized equipment and harvested in bulk: The university's agronomy department focuses on field crops.
