How did wheat become a cash crop in Louisiana? What is the economic impact of this industry in Louisiana?
Can you tell me about how wheat became a cash crop in Louisiana?
Sure, I can provide some information on that. In the early 1900s, farmers in Louisiana began to shift from cotton to wheat due to declining cotton prices and increasing demand for wheat. Louisiana's climate and soil were well-suited to wheat production, and the state quickly became a major producer of winter wheat.
