Abstract: The aim of this work is to discuss the effects of the development of flour milling in Castilian agriculture. The flour production provoked an increase of the land devoted to growing wheat, but it did not encourage any technical changes. Exports of flour to Western Europe and the Caribbean produced changes in income distribution: the rent of the land increased while wages went down. Flour milling did not even lead to the modernization of the corn market, due to the restrictions to free trade imposed by the government, whose agrarian policy related to flour milling was still inspired by mercantilism thought.
