Colonial surplus grain from the middle colonies was sold to the West Indies and other colonies, and many other countries, except England. In order to protect its own producers, England discouraged grain Purchases from the colonies by the imposition of heavy duties on colonial grain.

I don't know where they sold their surplus grain, but I do know that the middle colonies where located in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. The middle colonies were often called "The Breadbasket of the Colonies". That's all I can tell you! I'm only in 5th grade!
Places like Pennsylvania were plentiful in grain. They sold their surplus grain to the Carlina's which used it.
They sold it to the other colonies.
there is no such a thing as crop surplus but there is surplus crop which means the stored crops.
The middle colonies had good soil and were able to produce cash crops. This means they grew enough to sell and make a profit. The New England colonies were only able to grow enough for a family or just a bit trade or to sell, but not as much as the middle colonies did. They had to go to other things like fishing and building boats.

Not well known is that slavery was prevalent in all of the colonies though the colonies we think of when the subject comes up are the Southern Colonies. In fact most of the slave ships were owned by merchants in New England and were a big part of the Triangle Trade at this time between New England, South Africa and the West Indies. The Religion of the Colonies before the Great awakening was somewhat varied but mainly only in the Middle Colonies. The main religion in New England were the Puritans, in the Southern Colonies it was the Anglican and in the Middle Colonies it was the Anglican, Protestant, and the Quakers. The Economy in New England centered around trade because farming was difficult with rocky soil. The main staples were Fishing, Timber, Rum, some slave trade, and shipbuilding over seen by wealthy merchants. In the Southern Colonies it was the staple crops of Rice, Tobacco, and Indigo (before the revolution) and Cotton (after). These crops were grown on large plantations owned by wealthy white males and worked by African slaves. In the middle colonies the economy was supported by both trade and farming with and emphasis on Wheat. Finally the society of New England was based off of the Puritan religion but over all had a balanced class system mainly made up of a wealthy merchant class. The Middle Colonies again had a fairly balanced class system though instead of merchants it centered around farming communities. The Southern Colonies were ruled by Patriarchy. Patriarchy is basically ruled by the father of a household; woman, children, and his slaves all had to submit to him as the owner of them. Keep in mind this is all before the revolution and I haven't even tried to discuss the Great Awakening of the time.
