Answer: Common cash crops included fruits, veg- etables, and, above all, grain.

Step-by-step explanation:

These were crops raised to be sold for money.The Middle Colonies produced so much grain that people began calling them the “breadbasket” colonies. After harvesting their crops of corn, wheat, rye, or other grains, farmers took them to a gristmill.

The middle colonies had a lot of fertile soil which allowed for wheat and corn to become major trading resources. They also had rice, tobacco, and cotton.
