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.

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.

You will just keep experiencing the same symptoms – surface crusting, ruts, wet spots, stunted growth, lost yield, and many others – until you address the underlying cause of the problem, which is poor aggregate formation and the lack of living roots. Diversifying the crop rotation creates additional opportunities to maximize ground cover.

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.

Including noncrop vegetation alongside crops may further increase genetic diversity in a geographic area, as with prairie strips or field borders and other conservation buffers within or adjacent to crop fields. And diversity may also include the temporal diversity of crop rotations.

Healthy soil can mean increased yields (and profits) as well as fewer inputs like fertilizer or pesticides. Rotate your crops. Rotating crops is one of the best ways to improve long-term soil health on your farm. Here are six ways you can improve long-term soil health on your farm: What is soil health?
