Crop rotation is a common agronomic practice that involves the systematic sequencing of different crops in a specific field over several seasons. This technique aims to enhance soil fertility, control pests and diseases, and optimize crop yield.

Nutrients and irrigation speed up crop development, increase crop yield and prevent contamination. If you are using organic fertilizers such as manure it can have a variable nutrient content which might change over time. Consult a professional on the best form/source ideal for your crops and farm.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in regenerative agriculture, a holistic approach to farming that seeks to restore and revitalize the land while improving crop yields and overall farm profitability. This means increased crop yields and reduced inputs like fertilizers and pesticides.

Poor soils can cut crop yields by up to 50 percent—which, if we’re not careful, could result in more soil being tilled to grow more crops, which degrades more soil, which pushes us closer to climate catastrophe. And that has direct impacts on our food supply and climate. We’re seeing the power of storytelling, too.

Two neighbors, Farmer A and Farmer B: both farm 1,000 acres and use the same crop rotation schedule. Farmer A tills 30% of their fields, uses cover crops on 20%, and applies anhydrous ammonia. Farmer B tills 50% of their fields, uses cover crops on 40%, and uses stable nitrogen sources. Consider this scenario.
