This page is one thread of a broader guide. Start with the agricultural products services data guide for the full 23-record landscape, then go deeper on the neighboring workflows: usda psd online data for the monthly balance database behind every price regime, crop yield by country dataset for the cross-country production panels that pair with price work, and the agricultural products services data hub for the complete dataset index.

How far back do monthly commodity price histories go?
Most of the roughly 90 benchmark series start July 1991, about three decades of monthly observations per commodity. US prices received reach further in the NASS records - estimate coverage back to 1850 - though on weekly, monthly and annual schedules depending on the program. A century-scale monthly price panel does not exist in this slice; the honest ceiling is 1991 monthly.
Which dataset tracks wheat, corn and soybean prices together?
IndexMundi - Agricultural Commodity Prices covers all three plus roughly 87 more series on one panel, quoted monthly in US dollars per metric ton from July 1991 where available. The wheat benchmark changed specification in June 2020, so long-run charts span two eras unless you splice deliberately - Datadory ships both eras flagged.
