Crops need nutrient rich soil in which to grow properly. If you don't rest the land between crops the first crop will use up all the nutrients in the soil and the following crop will grow poorly as a result. "Resting" the land allows nature to put a little more organic material back into the soil, replenishing it before you plant another crop. Some people cycle their crops instead, particularly with peanuts, because the different crops use different levels of nutrients and can thus balance each other out.
