Barley, where it succeeds, yields a larger weight of feed per acre than any other small grain crop.

Buckwheat may be planted later than any similar crop, and often does well on old meadows or waste land that can be broken after the more exacting crops are planted.

Rice at present prices provides more food for the money than most of the other cereals.
