  -> thanks Miranda :-)

agree John Speese: Exactly what I'd say; I worked in agriculture before becoming a translator, and we grew all three of these types of crops! You could also say grains instead of cereals.

cereals, oilseeds, and high-protein plants

Explanation:
oléagineux = oilseeds, oilseed crops
protéagineux = protein-rich plants, high-protein plants
grandes cultures = field crops OR cash crops NOT "large crops!!"
the protéagineux could also be pulses (legumes; = légumineux in French)
(ref: INRA éditions' FR-English vocabulary (Systèmes agraires systèmes de production); see also EU Directives & Regulations and Eurodicautom
