Ohio hosts a wide variety of crops. The two most common are soybeans and corn. Ohio also produces large amounts of hay and haylage (which is another type of dried grasses used to feed animals). The acres of wheat and oats have declined by large margins in the last 20 years, 54 and 76% respectively. Vegetables and orchard crops (such as apples) make up a smaller but still important part of the sector.
