Crop Information - Planting & Harvesting

Texas leads all other states in number of farms and ranches. The primary crops of Texas are cotton, corn, feed grains (sorghum, milo, etc.), rice and wheat, but practically every other form of crop you can imagine is grown here, from peanuts to sunflowers to sugarcane. An enormous variety of vegetable fields can be found in the Rio Grande Valley at almost all times of the year. From December to March, there are virtually no tall crops in the state. Wheat is at its peak in June-July, while corn and cotton are harvested slightly later (July-October). There are occasional exceptions to every rule, however, and we're happy to try to find any kind of crop, any time of year. And don't forget that there are hundreds of fruit and pecan orchards here, as well as a number of beautiful vineyards.
