How does soil affect crops that farmers grow?
The soil determines what crops can grow, and how well they will grow. Organic matter in the soil, amount of clay, and pH (acidity) are all factors in how fertile the soil is. Different crops use different amounts of the various nutrients; this is why crop roatation and summer fallow are used. That way it gives the soil time to replenish its nutrients and then that crop can be grown again and not suffer from lacking nutrients.
