Like all missions, they produced a variety in both livestock and crops. I have a photo within Google Maps at this site about Mission San Miguel's wheat. "After the founding of the Mission on July 25, 1797, this tract" (the lands surrounding the mission) "became one of the first wheat fields in California. 4700 bushels of wheat were harvested in 1800." I am pretty sure that most wheat was produced to remain in Alta California and was probably traded among other missions as a necessary food source. Wheat was certainly one of the biggest crops grown here. They also grew corn, barley, peas and grapes. They also raised animals, including cattle, horses and sheep. Cattle would have produced the product of leather, and sheep produced wool. Leather was certainly shipped back to Spain as a traded commodity.
Thank you! 😊
