How do farmers decide which crops to grow?
A farmer will decide what crop to go based on where they live (topography, climate, soil), what the future markets may be for a particular crop, what to grow the crop for, how much should be grown, and whether the equipment that farmer has is sufficient to grow that crop. A farmer will usually grow what is in highest demand for their markets and location, what is most commonly grown in his/her area, and/or what they have grown in the past. For instance, a farmer that has grown corn the year before might decide to grow corn again. Or, if the soil is depleted in nutrient sources, the farmer may decide to utilize crop rotation and grow soybeans instead.

Not directly. But many farmers interseed (plant amongst) a hay crop along with a grass crop like wheat or oats.

This means that the farmer knows how to grow really well. He probably practices crop rotation. Crop rotation is when you move the different crops around every year.

If you don't practice crop rotation, eventually the soil will loose all the minerals and you will never be able to grow crops there again.
