What is the system for crop rotation?
It is when one species of crop is rotated with a different species of crop every year. For instance, a field that was planted with canola one year is planted with wheat another year. That same field may be sown into hay for a few years before being turned back to crop. This is so that the nutrients in the soil are not "mined" out of the soil to the point where crops cannot be grown anymore. Different crops have different nutrient needs than others. For instance, legume/oilseed crops like canola and peas fix nitrogen and put nitrogen back into the soil, whereas cereal crops like wheat or corn use it up.
What is an example of monoculture in the US?
Example is that much of the corn grown in the US is grown as the only crop grown on a piece of land year after year. There is no crop rotation with other crops, so the land becomes depleted of nutrients that corn uses, and more dependent on fertilization, more dense, and lacking of forms of life.

Why is only single crop grown in commercial grain farming?
In many parts of the world, where "dry land farming" is practiced, there is only one crop grown per year because there is only water for the plants in winter when it rains. On the other hand, rice growers (rice is a grain like wheat, barley, rye etc.) in the tropics sometimes get three crops per year. It is also a good idea to only grow one crop per year so as not to overwork the land and drain all of the goodness out of the soil. Many farmers grow a crop of legumes (not a grain) to enrich the soil with nitrogen, then grow grain the following year and finally leave the land for a year without crops or simply graze it. It all depends on where you live in the world and what grain is being grown as to how many crops are grown each year.
