I’m confused by your terminology. Most of the food that is grown for humans is sold for cash. Does “cash crop” mean something else?
Acer answered this question well - "cash crops" are generally not used to feed people. They are high volume monocultures grown for animal feed or industrial purposes. You see a lot of bio-diesel corn around here.
