What is difference between cash crop and a food crop?give example of each? The majority of corn is used for animal feed, ethanol, starch products (used not just in food processing, but in manufacturing fuel filters, batteries, baby powder, sanitary napkins, and much more...), and sweetener. A 'cash crop' is something which is grown for the generation of capital. A 'non-cash crop' or 'subsistence crop' is grown for direct consumption by the producer, their family, or their livestock. The term 'food crop' is much more ambiguous, and cannot necessarily be differentiated from a 'cash crop'. Many 'food crops' (tomatoes, potatoes, asparagus, apples...) can actually be 'cash crops' if they are produced specifically for the generation of income through sale. Items that are highly perishable and difficult to process or ship tend to be used much more often as 'food crops' than 'cash crops'.

Planting Warm-Season Crops Vegetables are classed as either warm-or cool-season, depending on the weather they need for best growth. Warm-season veggies require both warm soil and high temperatures (with a little cooling at night) to grow steadily and produce crops.They include traditional summer crops such as snap beans, corn, cucumbers, melons, peppers, tomatoes, and squash.Winter” squashes such as acorn, hubbard, and banana are actually warm season crops: the name refers not to the planting season, but to the fact that they can be stored for winter consumption. For almost all of these vegetables, the fruit (rather than the roots or leaves), is the edible part.

- are better nitrogen competitors than plants, cash crops could be deficient in nitrogen, particularly if the nitrogen uptake period by crop plants falls into a period of high microbial activity. Therefore, when cover crops which produce large amounts of biomass with high C:N ratios are used, the subsequent cash crop would require supplemental nitrogen during growth to meet crop yield potentials. Other factors that could affect the ability of microorganisms to break
