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.
nutrients were renewed in the soil
it helps control pests and diseases
If crop production is low, creating high demand, the buyer comes out ahead because the farmer could have sold for a higher price, had he or she known there would be a smaller supply.
Crop rotation is important to the cotton farmers because they need the nutrients from the soil for other crops so they don't use it all in just one kind of plant.
Charles Townshed introduced the Norfolk crop rotation.
Charles Townshend invented the practice of crop rotation
The Romans used crop rotation.
Crop rotation. If you plant the same crop year-after-year. That crop will use up all the nutrients specific to the needs of the plant. Crop rotation involves planting a different crop each year - thus the nutrients in the soil are more evenly used.
Farmer began to apply scientific method to improve crop production.They recommended crop rotation.
Contour plowing is plowing along the curves of a slopeand crop rotation is when a farmer plants different crops in a field each year........

Show him or her all the benefits to crop rotation. Better fertility, lower disease incidence, lower insect pressure, better soil tilth, and greater diversity make it a really good choice for any farmer.

Pest control is the main benefit of crop rotation. If a farmer plants one type of crop and swaps it out when it starts to attract a certain type of bug it will be awhile before more are attracted to the new plant Crop rotation can also be used to replenish nutrients in the soil. For example, a crop that takes a lot of nitrogen can be planted one year, and the next year one that replenishes nitrogen can be planted.
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. They do this so that the minerals in the soil doesn't go bad. 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.
