Page "Crop rotation" Paragraph 14

More complex rotations commonly utilize people for greater use of on-farm nutrient management and additional farm products.

A soil-feeding crop of clover could be replaced or aided by an application of manure to set up a field for a double crop of winter grains after potatoes.

Soil building and pest population management benefits can be further utilized with different complexities of crop rotation.

In general the complexity of a field ’ s rotation is limited by what soil, climate, and other environmental conditions permit.

This also includes the current or desired management tools and goals of the farmer.
