It's either midsummer, or the start of summer, according to your perspective. Many regions have already suffered heavy heat waves. People are firing up their barbecue grills and tossing together summer salads with ingredients like corn, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers that are not actually in season yet.This has caused me to think: what are some crops that farmers can now grow in places that used to be too cold for them? These crops would need to be ones that are in demand now or may grow in popularity in the future. Here's the list I came up with.
Sweet Potatoes
Parsley
Rice
Millet
Hibiscus/Jamaica
Tea
Amaranth
Tamarind
Bananas
Coffee
Paw Paw
Dahlias
Artichokes
Hemp
Sunflowers
Soybeans
Rubber
