Why does the soil usually become useless for growing crops after only a few years?

With proper soil management this should not happen. It usually occurs if the same crop is grown in the same place year after year and no material is returned to the soil. This depletes the organic matter (humus) in the soil, depriving the crops of nutrients. Crop rotation and the application of fertilizers can avoid this.
