The four-field crop rotation system was developed in the 18th century, primarily attributed to the agricultural innovations in Britain. One of the key figures in its development was Charles Townshend, who promoted this system in the early 1700s. The method involved rotating wheat, barley, turnips, and clover to improve soil fertility and increase crop yields. This practice significantly contributed to agricultural productivity during the Agricultural Revolution.
The Norfolk system, was a new system in which four crops were rotated instead of three. This system also removed the fallow field and replaced it with turnips and clover. These made excellent winter cattle feed as well as enriched the soil with nitrogen which was found to exist on the tips of their roots. When the plant was removed, the root tips and nitrogen was left behind. This system greatly increased profits as it removed and enriched the fallow field.

The settlers grew tobacco as their cash crop. This got them a lot of money.
the made rice, corn and the also grow crop!

Apple butter is not a crop it is made from apples which are a West Virginia crop.
It can be produced from any crop that contains sugar.
There is no man made satellite that makes crop circles.
The plow increased crop yields and made soil more porous.
The practice of planting a succession of crops in a field over a period of years. Rotations can maintain field fertility since different crops use different soil nutrients, so excessive demands are not made of one nutrient. In certain rotations, plants like legumes (peas and beans) are grown to restore fertility.

crop tractors are made my john deere and a few other companies and they are made for crops so when you are spraying over the crops you don't hit them.
Peaunuts are a crop.
Sharecroppers and tenant farmers who did not own the land they worked obtain supplies and food on credit from local merchants. They held a lien on the cotton crop and the merchants and landowners were the first ones paid from its sale. What was left over went to the farmer. The system ended in the 1940s as prosperity returned and many poor farmers moved permanently to cities and towns, where jobs were plentiful because of the war. The crop-lien system gave farmers a line of credit with a local merchant for supplies, with repayment to be made when a farmer's crop was sold. Crop-liens were fairly common in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Cotton, tobacco, bunch of stuff. Anything that grew in the ground really, as long as it made a profit.
