Cereal farming: References & Edit History
Additional Reading
Y. Pomeranz, Modern Cereal Science and Technology (1987), discusses common aspects of cereal grains and their products followed by in-depth descriptions of selected cereals. Neal C. Stoskopf, Cereal Grain Crops (1985), is also useful for an overview.
Various grains, their production, and commercial grading methods are investigated in Sergio O. Serna-Saldívar, Cereal Grains: Properties, Processing, and Nutritional Attributes (2010); and C.W. Wrigley and I.L. Batey (eds.), Cereal Grains: Assessing and Managing Quality (2010).
