    It is a relatively drought tolerant grain, and thrives in many environments. About a third of its production is from India, and consumed in the domestic market. Canada is the largest exporter, and Saskatchewan is its most important production region. The Palouse region of eastern Washington and the Idaho Panhandle, with its commercial center in Pullman, Washington, are the largest producing region in the US.
