Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf Middle \ Colonies}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The New England colonies couldn't farm, so they relied on the ocean (fishing, whale oil, ship building, etc). The Southern Colonies had fertile soil and the perfect climate for cash crops (tobacco, cotton, indigo).

The Middle Colonies were given the nickname of the Breadbasket of the Thirteen Colonies because of the amount of grain crops they produced.

These colonies (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware) had decent soil and climates, so they were able to grow all different types of crops: wheat, corn, oats, flax and more.

So, the area that grew wheat and corn was the Middle Colonies.
