The principal grain crops grown in Great Kirav are the Three Reliables: Rye and wildrye, {{wp|buckwheat|Coscivian cuckwheat}}, and {{wp|oats}}, along with barley, wheat, and triticale. | The principal grain crops grown in Great Kirav are the Three Reliables: Rye and wildrye, {{wp|buckwheat|Coscivian cuckwheat}}, and {{wp|oats}}, along with barley, wheat, and triticale. | ||
Coscivian cultures conflate two distinct cereal grasses - ''Secale cereale'' or "true rye" and ''Elymus borealis'' or "wildrye" - under the label of "rye" (Kiravic: ''dralm''). Numerous cultivars of ''Elymus borealis'' have been cultivated in different regions and microclimatic zones of Great Kirav for centuries. True rye was most likely introduced from what is now Faneria during the Second Empire. Kiravian farmers were early adopters of {{wp|triticale}}, production of which continues to expand in traditionally rye-growing areas. | Coscivian cultures conflate two distinct cereal grasses - ''Secale cereale'' or "true rye" and ''Elymus borealis'' or "wildrye" - under the label of "rye" (Kiravic: ''dralm'', South Coscivian: ''drallion'').

The best farmland, much of which is concentrated in South Kirav and the warmer latitudes of the Baylands and Farravonia, is dedicated mainly to wheat, barley, and (increasingly) maize. Hard red winter wheat is grown in drier mesotemperate areas of the interior, while durum wheat and other varieties are grown mainly in the South. Buckwheat and rye predominate in the middle latitudes, while oats and patricularly hardy wildrye cultivars are grown in the hemiboreal and boreal zones, as well as the mountain vales of the Northwest. | The best farmland, much of which is concentrated in South Kirav and the warmer latitudes of the Baylands and Farravonia, is dedicated mainly to wheat, barley, and (increasingly) maize.
