      abstract = {Excerpt from the report Summary:  Corn, soybeans, and  sorghum make up about a third of all U.S. crop receipts.   Corn, soybeans, and sorghum also represent major crops  produced by specialized feed grain farms.  More than 80  percent of commercial feed grain farmers, defined as those  with annual sales of $50,000 or more and for whom farming  was their primary occupation, realized positive incomes  over the 1987-91 period.  The profitability of commercial  feed grain farms, measured by return on assets, exceeded  that of commercial producers of small grains (oats, wheat,  barley), beef, and dairy, matched that of commercial hog  producers, and was less than that of commercial farms  producing cotton and rice over the 1987-91 period.  Nearly  three-fourths of the commercial feed grain farms are in the  Midwest, and they produce 70 percent of U.S. corn, 78  percent of U.S. soybeans, and 33 percent of U.S. sorghum.},
