Farmers in this industry primarily grow one or more varieties of wheat or a combination of sorghum, barley, oats, rye and other grains, where no single crop accounts for more than half of the total value of production of the farm.

Unpredictable weather patterns remain crucial for determining a farming industry's volatility. For example, as of August 2010, a drought in Russia, one of the world's largest wheat exporters, has placed pressure on the US Wheat, Barley and Sorghum Farming industry to step up its production and exports in order to meet global demand. Meanwhile, domestic demand for these grains has increased since 2005. Although farm numbers are forecast to decline, yield and harvested acres for the industry will increase, indicating that the average grain farm will be larger and more productive. Also, Monsanto's acquisition of a wheat gene research company in 2009 signals the beginning of what could be a new era for genetically modified industry crops.
