    You keep them where they are. Benefits are:

    Agronomists describe the benefits to yield in rotated crops as “The Rotation Effect”. There are many benefits of rotation systems. The factors related to the increase are broadly due to alleviation of the negative factors of monoculture cropping systems. Specifically, improved nutrition; pest, pathogen, and weed stress reduction; and improved soil structure have been found in some cases to be correlated to beneficial rotation effects.

    Other benefits include reduced production cost. Overall financial risks are more widely distributed over more diverse production of crops and/or livestock. Less reliance is placed on purchased inputs and over time crops can maintain production goals with fewer inputs. This in tandem with greater short and long term yields makes rotation a powerful tool for improving agricultural systems.

      I’m confused. Either I’m an idiot or you said it’s better to not rotate then posted a bunch of reasons why you SHOULD rotate.

            For one plot plant something like corn one year, beans the next, and wheat/rye the third, carrots the fourth, then back to corn.

        He was saying no: they stay where they are (rotate crops not the land)

        Here are the benefits of it:
