Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 11119 covers establishments growing grains other than wheat, corn, and rice (such as barley, rye, oat, sorghum, and milo) or wild rice, as well as those producing seeds from these grains. It also includes mixed grain and oilseed farming operations where neither grain nor oilseed dominates production. The key distinction is that pure soybean farming belongs in Soybean Farming, pure sunflower or canola farming belongs in Oilseed (except Soybean) Farming, and operations focused on wheat, corn, or regular rice belong in their respective specialized codes.
