  1. corn...and grains


  2. Barley, wheat, potatoes, grapes, just to name a few.

  3. The medieval farmer usually had two crops: a spring and a fall crop, the spring consisting of barley, vetches, oats, peas, and beans, while the fall was mainly wheat and rye. Each type of seed was used in a different manner. The rye and wheat, in addition to being sold for cash, were used for bread. The barley was used for beer and the hay and oats were fed to the horses and other livestock such as oxen.

  4. The main crops of middle ages are corn, wheat,barley ,some beans and potato.

  5. Heavy on the grains and staples.

    Less on livestock for meats.

  6. No one has mentioned flax.  Flax is used to make linen.  Cotton could only be imported from the Middle East after the crusades, and only by the very wealthy.  So most used linen fabrics, being the most common fabric besides wool...

    Also don't listen to the people who say corn.  Corn wasn't grown until after contact with the New World, and that isn't until the Renaissance...
